Connections for HDBaseT Cameras

The OneLINK Bridge Express extends network connectivity, power, and control to an HDBaseT camera,
and sends HDMI video from the camera to a display. In addition, the device provides audio connections
and originates a USB stream to bridge the equipment into a USB-based conferencing application.

The camera can optionally be controlled by a camera controller via the OneLINK connection. Depending
on the equipment, the camera controller may connect directly to the OneLINK device's RS-232 port, or it
may control the camera over the network. In either case the OneLINK device passes communication
between the controller and the camera.

If an IP stream is available from the camera, the OneLINK device passes it to the network. Ethernet pass-
through is limited to 100 Mb/s. HDMI output resolution and streaming parameters (including resolution)
are configured on the camera, not the OneLINK device.

The RoboSHOT HDBT, RoboSHOT UHD, RoboFLIP

®

, and RoboSHOT In-Wall models are

HDBaseTcameras.

This diagram shows a RoboFLIP 30 HDBT camera. Other Vaddio HDBaseT cameras connect in the
same way.
