Vaddio RoboSHOT 30E HDBT PTZ Camera (Black) - 30x HDBaseT Conference Camera

Product Overview

The Vaddio RoboSHOT 30E HDBT (Black) is a professional PTZ camera for large meeting rooms, auditoriums, lecture halls, and houses of worship where long focal-range capture is essential. It delivers 30x optical zoom with simultaneous HDBaseT, HDMI, and IP H.264 streaming outputs, giving AV integrators maximum flexibility in signal distribution. The 1/2.5-type Sony Exmor R CMOS sensor and 70.2° horizontal field of view produce sharp, broadcast-quality HD video across a wide coverage area. As a standalone HDBaseT camera, the RoboSHOT 30E HDBT (Black) is designed for use with Vaddio OneLINK extension systems, AV Bridge encoders, and third-party HDBaseT-compatible AV infrastructure.

Product Description

The RoboSHOT 30E HDBT is Vaddio's top-tier PTZ camera for large-room AV integration. The 30x optical zoom provides the reach needed to cover a full auditorium stage, a large boardroom table, or the front of a lecture hall from a rear or side wall mount — distances where lower-zoom cameras produce inadequate framing. The 70.2° HFOV ensures wide coverage when zoomed out, giving operators a practical range from full-room overview to tight close-up without repositioning.

Three simultaneous output types — HDBaseT, HDMI, and IP H.264 — allow the camera to feed a local display or codec over HDMI while simultaneously streaming to soft clients, capture systems, or remote viewers over IP. This multi-output capability reduces system complexity in live production, lecture capture, and hybrid meeting environments where both local and remote audiences must be served from a single camera source.

The HDBaseT output connects to Vaddio OneLINK systems for single-cable camera extension, routing power, video, and control over a single Cat-5e or Cat-6 run to the AV rack. This simplifies permanent room installations and reduces conduit requirements compared to running separate signal and power cables. Remote IP management via embedded web server gives AV technicians full control over camera settings, presets, and firmware from any networked device.

The RoboSHOT 30E HDBT is available in black for installations where a dark-finish camera matches the room’s ceiling or mounting surface. For white-finish installations, see the RoboSHOT 30E HDBT in white. For complete systems including OneLINK extension, see the OneLINK Bridge and OneLINK HDMI system bundles available at Creation Networks.
