Sound Control Technologies RC-RK4 – Rack Shelf for Four SCT Modules

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RC-RK4 is a single-RU rack shelf that mounts up to four SCT camera extension head-end modules and their power supplies in one rack unit. It supports RC4-HE, RC5-HE, RC5+ HE, RCU2S-HE, and RC2E modules, or a single-camera extender paired with an RC-SDA distribution amplifier. For multi-camera conference room and broadcast-style installations, the RC-RK4 consolidates the rack-mount head end into the smallest possible footprint.

Product Description

Rooms with multiple extended PTZ cameras accumulate head-end modules quickly, and loose modules with dangling power bricks make racks hard to service. The RC-RK4 solves this by integrating four SCT extension systems on one purpose-built shelf that occupies a single rack unit of a standard 19-inch rack.

The 14-inch deep shelf accommodates four SCT power supplies behind the modules while still leaving access to the rear of each module for clean and easy cabling. That layout keeps HDMI, category cable, and power connections organized and reachable during commissioning and later moves, adds, and changes. The shelf also supports a mixed configuration of a single-camera extender (RC4, RC5, RC5+, RCU2S) plus an RC-SDA. For two-module rooms, the shallower RC-RK2 rack shelf covers the same role in a 9-inch depth.

Key Features

• Four-Module Capacity — Mounts up to four SCT head-end modules from the RC4, RC5, RC5+, RCU2S, and RC2E families.
• Single Rack Unit — Consolidates a four-camera extension head end into 1 RU of a standard 19-inch equipment rack.
• Power Supply Management — The 14-inch deep shelf holds four SCT power supplies, eliminating loose power bricks in the rack.
• Rear Cable Access — Module rears remain accessible for clean cabling and post-installation service.
• Mixed Configurations — Supports a single-camera extender plus an RC-SDA distribution amplifier on the same shelf.
• Commercial-Grade Construction — Purpose-built steel shelf from the same SCT rack shelf family used across RemoteCam deployments.

Typical Applications

• Boardroom and all-hands room racks serving multiple extended PTZ cameras
• Training room and auditorium head ends consolidating several camera extension runs
• Broadcast studio and house of worship racks where multi-camera SCT systems terminate

Frequently Asked Questions

Which SCT modules fit the RC-RK4?
The shelf accepts head-end modules from the RC4, RC5, RC5+, RCU2S, and RC2E extension families, or a single extender combined with an RC-SDA.

Do the power supplies mount on the shelf?
Yes. The 14-inch depth accommodates four SCT power supplies behind the modules.

How does it compare to the RC-RK2?
The RC-RK2 holds up to two modules on a 9-inch deep shelf; the RC-RK4 doubles capacity to four modules with a 14-inch depth. Both are single-RU.

Is rear access available after installation?
Yes. The design leaves the rear of each module reachable for cabling changes without removing the shelf.

Can Creation Networks help with multi-room rollouts?
Yes. Contact sales for volume pricing and configuration guidance across SCT extension deployments.
