Vaddio RoboSHOT 40 UHD OneLINK Bridge System (Black) - 4K Broadcast PTZ Camera

Product Overview

The Vaddio RoboSHOT 40 UHD OneLINK Bridge System (SKU: 999-9952-200, Black) is a broadcast-class 4K PTZ camera system designed for large venues requiring professional image quality, extended zoom range, and precise multi-camera synchronization. The system pairs the RoboSHOT 40 UHD camera—featuring a back-illuminated 8.51-megapixel 1/2.5-type CMOS sensor with native 4K (3840x2160) at 30fps and up to 40x zoom—with the OneLINK Bridge for single-cable HDBaseT installation. Simultaneous HDMI, USB 3.0, 3G-SDI, and IP streaming outputs make this system suitable for broadcast studios, houses of worship, large auditoriums, and live event venues.

Product Description

The RoboSHOT 40 UHD is Vaddio's broadcast-class PTZ camera built for environments where image quality, zoom reach, and synchronization precision are non-negotiable. Its 4K Exmor R CMOS sensor delivers strong low-light performance, maintaining sharp, high-contrast output under the variable lighting conditions found in performance halls, spotlit stages, and night-time sporting events.

Genlock support with phase compensation enables frame-accurate synchronization in multi-camera broadcast setups, eliminating tearing or visual artifacts when switching between camera angles in live production. Vaddio's Tri-Synchronous Motion algorithms and silent BLDC direct-drive motors produce smooth, jitter-free PTZ movement at any zoom level—critical for talent tracking or wide-to-close shot transitions in live broadcasts where mechanical noise or jitter would be unacceptable.

The zoom range is exceptional: 20x optical, extending to 30x lossless at full 4K resolution, and 40x at 1080p via digital super-resolution. This reach makes the RoboSHOT 40 UHD practical in large auditoriums and concert halls where cameras are positioned far from the subject. The OneLINK Bridge handles all HDBaseT signal extension, carrying HDMI, 100BaseT Ethernet, RS-232, and power over a single Cat-5e or Cat-6 cable up to 328 ft (100m), eliminating separate power runs to the camera mounting location. The OneLINK Bridge also bridges to USB 3.0 for direct integration with UC platforms including Zoom, Teams, and Cisco Webex.

Key Features

• Native 4K Resolution - 8.51MP back-illuminated CMOS sensor delivers 3840x2160 at 30fps for broadcast-quality video capture in large venues.
• 40x Total Zoom Range - 20x optical + 30x lossless zoom at full 4K; achieves 40x zoom at 1080p via digital super-resolution for exceptional reach in large spaces.
• Genlock with Phase Compensation - External sync port provides frame-accurate multi-camera synchronization for broadcast production, eliminating switching artifacts.
• Tri-Synchronous Motion - Silent BLDC motors with Vaddio's Tri-Sync algorithm produce smooth, jitter-free PTZ movement at any zoom level, including maximum telephoto.
• OneLINK Bridge HDBaseT Extension - Single Cat-5e (230 ft) or Cat-6 (328 ft) cable carries power, HDMI, Ethernet, and RS-232 to the camera, eliminating multi-cable runs.
• Simultaneous Multi-Format Outputs - Delivers concurrent HDMI, USB 3.0, 3G-SDI, and RTSP IP streaming (H.264) for flexible distribution to local displays, recorders, and UC platforms.
• USB 3.0 UC Integration - Presents as a USB UVC device for plug-and-play compatibility with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Cisco Webex, and other major UC platforms.
• Configurable Audio Matrix with AEC - Internal DSP with acoustic echo cancellation handles audio routing for basic conferencing deployments without an external processor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 30x and 40x zoom on the RoboSHOT 40 UHD?
At full 4K (3840x2160) resolution, the camera achieves 20x optical and 30x lossless zoom. The 40x figure uses digital super-resolution zoom and applies at 1080p resolution. Both deliver high-quality output appropriate for their respective resolutions.

Is the RoboSHOT 40 UHD compatible with Zoom, Teams, or Cisco Webex?
Yes. The OneLINK Bridge provides a USB 3.0 output that presents the camera as a standard USB UVC device, enabling plug-and-play compatibility with all major UC platforms on Windows and macOS without additional drivers.

What cabling is required for installation with the OneLINK Bridge?
A single Cat-5e cable (up to 230 ft/70m) or Cat-6 cable (up to 328 ft/100m) connects the camera to the OneLINK Bridge, carrying power, HDMI video, Ethernet, and RS-232 control. No separate power run to the camera location is needed.

Does the RoboSHOT 40 UHD support genlock for multi-camera production?
Yes. The camera includes a genlock external sync port with phase compensation for frame-accurate synchronization with other genlocked cameras in multi-camera broadcast environments.

Is this camera appropriate for a house of worship deployment?
Yes. The RoboSHOT 40 UHD is widely deployed in houses of worship. Its silent motors, broad zoom range, strong low-light performance, and ability to stream to both in-room displays and online platforms simultaneously make it well suited for worship AV applications.

What is the warranty on this product?
Vaddio products carry a standard 2-year warranty. For service or support, contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net.

Is a white version of this camera available?
