Chapter 1 – RovoRx Introduction
System Overview
RovoCam is AJA’s first compact block camera for industrial, corporate, security,
ProAV and broadcast applications.
RovoRx-HDMI and RovoRx-SDI are companion receiver units that offer the
simplest reception option for RovoCam. They are UltraHD/HD HDBaseT Receivers
with integrated HDMI or SDI video and audio outputs specifically designed to
receive RovoCam’s output and drive displays. This allows one to receive the
RovoCam’s output up to 100m (328’) away from the camera itself and display the
output on a display wherever needed, greatly simplifying workflows and systems
integration.
A single Cat5e/6 cable carries all uncompressed video, two-channel audio, VISCA
camera control, and power for the simplest installation ever due to RovoCam’s
integrated HDBaseT interface. Delivering this much functionality and power with
single cable connectivity dramatically simplifies the installation, camera setup
and footprint requirements.
RovoRx-SDI includes a frame sync function which supports using a RovoCam
camera feed in a video production environment.
RovoRx-HDMI and RovoRx-SDI can also be used with any compatible HDBaseT
transmitter, not just RovoCam.
NOTE: The HDBaseT format uses RJ-45 connectors but does not support Ethernet.
HDBaseT is point-to-point signal transport.
