Vaddio has introduced the OneLink Bridge AV Interface in EMEA to support unified communications, collaboration, recording and lecture capture.
The appliance combines a camera extension system with an audio mixer, creating a USB bridge that connects professional AV sources to PCs. It allows end users to convert an audio/video source from PTZ cameras or AV switchers into a USB 3.0 media stream and use applications like Skype for Business, Google Hangouts, WebEx and Zoom.
OneLink Bridge uses HDBaseT to extend power, control and video from Vaddio RoboShot cameras, third party PTZ cameras, and compatible HDBaseT AV switchers up to 100 meters over an HDBaseT Cat-5e/6 cable. It includes HDMI and HD-SDI outputs, two mic line inputs with echo cancellation, two line outputs, and associated digital audio channels. It also provides a composite USB stream with 1080p/60 video and stereo 48kHz audio.
OneLink Bridge works with Vaddio RoboShot HDBT cameras and the RoboShot 20 UHD camera, and is available in kits optimised for use with Cisco, Polycom, Sony and Panasonic and Vaddio PTZ cameras. OneLink Bridge can also be used as a stand-alone HDBaseT receiver to get USB 3.0 (video and audio), HDMI and HD-SDI to the table from HDBaseT AV switchers from Crestron, AMX and Kramer.
