Vaddio RoboSHOT 12E Overview

UHD 4K30 Video with HDBaseT Output
Ideal for corporate, training, and educational use, the black RoboSHOT Elite 4K 12E HDBaseT PTZ Camera from Vaddio uses a 1/2.5" type Exmor R to support up to UHD 4K30 broadcast-quality video. It features 12x optical zoom, simultaneous HDMI and HDBaseT output, and multiple control options.
Simultaneous Outputs
The camera's HDMI and RJ45 outputs are active at all times, so there is no need to select one output over another. This enables you to output to more than one display device or recorder at the same time. The built-in IP streaming simplifies streaming your video over a network.
Excellent Image Quality
Constructed with an 1/2.5-type Exmor R CMOS sensor, this RoboSHOT Elite camera produces excellent video image quality. Its cutting-edge image signal processing produces improved light-gathering capabilities, incredible contrast, and sharp UHD 4Kp30 video, even in lower light levels. Wide dynamic range retains details in both darker and overbright areas.
Smooth Motion
The RoboSHOT Elite 4K 12E camera offers silky-smooth motion along all three axes, thanks to Vaddio's next-generation silent motors paired with Tri-Synchronous motion algorithms. 
Optional OneLINK Bridge
Add the separately available OneLINK Bridge receiver to link to a USB stream, add audio, and extend HDBaseT up to 328' via Cat 6 cable.
Control Options
You can control the camera via the included IR remote commander, the RS-232 port, web GUI, or the HDBaseT port.

How long can I run the USB3.1 cable to this camera?
Asked by: Rj
The USB cable that comes with the camera is 6 feet. You can extend that further with a high quality extender like the ATEN USB 3.1 Gen1 Extender Cable - 32.8' (BH #ATUE3310) but signal degradation may start to occur over some longer runs.
