{"product_id":"mdc6-pa","title":"Sound Control Technologies MDC6-PA – Multi-Device Controller with RC-RKPA Rack Shelf Kit","description":"\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sound Control Technologies MDC6-PA is a multi-device controller bundle that combines the MDC6 unit with the RC-RKPA rack shelf assembly, providing a complete rack-integrated solution for consolidating communications from up to six SCT devices into a single Cisco codec connection. RS-232 ports on the MDC6 connect to individual SCT devices, while the single codec-side connection carries consolidated control traffic with native Cisco Control Hub integration support. Commercial AV integrators specifying rack systems for conference rooms and boardrooms benefit from ordering the MDC6 and its rack mounting hardware in a single SKU.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MDC6-PA is the rack-ready version of the MDC6 for installations where the RC-RKPA shelf assembly is the appropriate mounting solution. The included RC-RKPA shelf is purpose-built for the MDC6 and eliminates the need to source and verify rack shelf compatibility separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MDC6-PA kit includes the MDC6 multi-device controller and the RC-RKPA rack shelf assembly. The MDC6 aggregates RS-232 communications from up to six SCT devices and routes them through a single connection to the Cisco codec, reducing individual serial cable runs from SCT modules to the codec. The RC-RKPA shelf provides secure, organized rack mounting for the MDC6 within a standard AV equipment rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCisco Control Hub integration on the MDC6 allows AV administrators to manage connected SCT devices through the Cisco cloud management ecosystem, which is relevant for IT departments managing cloud-registered Cisco codec fleets. The MDC6-PA simplifies procurement for integrators by providing both the controller and rack mounting hardware in one line item, reducing purchase orders and ensuring hardware compatibility. The assembly is suitable for large conference rooms, boardrooms, and any installation deploying six or fewer SCT devices with a Cisco codec.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMDC6 Controller Included\u003c\/strong\u003e — Consolidates RS-232 control from up to six SCT devices into a single Cisco codec connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRC-RKPA Rack Shelf Included\u003c\/strong\u003e — Purpose-built rack shelf assembly for the MDC6, providing secure and organized rack mounting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-SKU Procurement\u003c\/strong\u003e — Combines the controller and rack hardware in one order, simplifying project procurement and ensuring component compatibility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCisco Control Hub Integration\u003c\/strong\u003e — Native support for Cisco Control Hub cloud management of connected SCT devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRS-232 Port Array\u003c\/strong\u003e — Individual RS-232 connections for up to six SCT devices at the controller.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoardroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConference room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial meeting space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-purpose room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel \/ SKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMDC6-PA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKit Contents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMDC6 Multi-Device Controller + RC-RKPA Rack Shelf Assembly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupported Device Connections\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 6 SCT devices via RS-232\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCodec Connection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle connection to Cisco codec\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControl Interface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRS-232\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControl Hub Support\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNative Cisco Control Hub integration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEach\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA\/Taiwan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is included in the MDC6-PA compared to the standalone MDC6?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MDC6-PA includes the MDC6 controller plus the RC-RKPA rack shelf assembly.
