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

Product Overview

The Vaddio RoboSHOT 40 UHD OneLINK Bridge System (SKU: 999-9952-200W, White) is a broadcast-class 4K PTZ camera system built for large venues that require high image quality, extended zoom range, and precise multi-camera synchronization—finished in white for ceiling-mount or aesthetically sensitive installations. 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 RTSP IP streaming outputs make this system suitable for broadcast studios, houses of worship, auditoriums, and live event venues requiring a discreet white camera finish.

Product Description

The RoboSHOT 40 UHD is Vaddio's broadcast-class PTZ camera for environments where image quality, zoom reach, and synchronization precision are essential. Its 4K Exmor R CMOS sensor delivers strong low-light performance under the variable conditions found in performance halls, spotlit stages, and high-contrast lighting environments. The white finish is particularly suited for church sanctuaries, academic halls, and government chambers where a black camera would draw visual attention against light-colored ceilings and walls.

Genlock support with phase compensation enables frame-accurate synchronization in multi-camera broadcast setups. Vaddio's Tri-Synchronous Motion algorithms and silent BLDC direct-drive motors produce smooth, jitter-free PTZ movement at every zoom level—critical for talent tracking and live production environments. The zoom range spans 20x optical to 30x lossless at full 4K, and 40x at 1080p via digital super-resolution, providing the reach needed in large auditoriums and concert halls.

The OneLINK Bridge carries 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. USB 3.0 output from the OneLINK Bridge enables direct integration with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Cisco Webex, and other UC platforms. Simultaneous 3G-SDI output supports broadcast signal chains that require SDI distribution to local displays or broadcast encoders.

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 with 30x lossless at full 4K; achieves 40x zoom at 1080p via digital super-resolution for exceptional reach in auditoriums and event spaces.
• White Finish - Designed for ceiling-mount or wall-mount installations where a white camera is preferred for aesthetic integration with the room environment.
• Genlock with Phase Compensation - External sync port enables frame-accurate multi-camera synchronization for broadcast production environments.
• Tri-Synchronous Motion - Silent BLDC motors with Vaddio's motion algorithm deliver smooth, jitter-free PTZ at every zoom level, including maximum telephoto position.
• OneLINK Bridge HDBaseT Extension - Single Cat-5e (230 ft) or Cat-6 (328 ft) cable carries power, HDMI, Ethernet, and RS-232 control, eliminating multi-cable runs.
• Simultaneous Multi-Format Outputs - Concurrent HDMI, USB 3.0, 3G-SDI, and RTSP IP streaming (H.264) for flexible distribution to displays, recorders, and UC platforms.
• Configurable Audio Matrix with AEC - Internal DSP with acoustic echo cancellation handles basic conferencing audio without a separate DSP unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a black version of this camera?
Yes. The RoboSHOT 40 UHD OneLINK Bridge System is available in black as SKU 999-9952-200. Both colors are available at creationnetworks.net/collections/vaddio.

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

Is this camera compatible with Zoom, Teams, or Cisco Webex?
Yes. The OneLINK Bridge provides a USB 3.0 output that presents 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 needed 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) handles power, HDMI video, Ethernet, and RS-232 control between the camera and the OneLINK Bridge. No separate power run to the camera location is required.

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

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