Sound Control Technologies RC-EDA – Dual Output HDMI DA with CEC to...
Product Overview
The Sound Control Technologies RC-EDA is a dual-output HDMI distribution amplifier with integrated CEC to RS-232 and Ethernet conversion, designed for commercial AV system integration. It distributes a single HDMI source to two outputs while simultaneously converting HDMI CEC control signals to RS-232 and Ethernet, enabling control system integration without separate signal converters. AV integrators and systems designers deploying conference rooms and commercial meeting spaces where HDMI display control needs to interact with RS-232 or IP-based control systems will find the RC-EDA a purpose-built solution.
The unit fits within SCT's RemoteCam ecosystem and is compatible with rack-mount deployment alongside other SCT head-end modules. The CEC-to-RS-232 and CEC-to-Ethernet conversion paths allow display control commands to be routed to codecs, control processors, or Ethernet-connected control systems without additional converters or programming in the signal path.
Product Description
The RC-EDA accepts a single HDMI input and distributes it to two HDMI outputs simultaneously, operating as a 1x2 HDMI distribution amplifier. Alongside video distribution, the unit extracts HDMI CEC control signals and converts them to both RS-232 and Ethernet outputs. This allows displays or source devices that use CEC for control to communicate with RS-232-based codecs, control processors, or Ethernet-connected control systems without custom programming between the HDMI and control layers.
For AV system designers, the RC-EDA reduces rack equipment count by combining signal distribution and protocol conversion in a single unit. The RS-232 and Ethernet control outputs can connect directly to codecs, DSP systems, or control processors, enabling display power states and input selection to be coordinated with room system operation. The unit is rack-compatible and designed for deployment within SCT's broader module ecosystem.
Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions
What is HDMI CEC and how does the RC-EDA use it?
HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) is a protocol embedded in HDMI that allows connected devices to control each other. The RC-EDA extracts CEC signals from the HDMI input and converts them to RS-232 and Ethernet outputs, allowing CEC-based device control to integrate with RS-232 and IP control systems.
Does the RC-EDA require any programming or configuration?
Contact Creation Networks for configuration details specific to your installation and control system environment.
Is the RC-EDA compatible with all HDMI sources?
The RC-EDA accepts standard HDMI input. CEC functionality requires that the source or display device supports HDMI CEC. Contact Creation Networks to discuss compatibility with your specific source and display hardware.
Where can I get warranty and support information?
Contact Creation Networks for current Sound Control Technologies warranty terms and support options for the RC-EDA.
