{"product_id":"rc-scaler™-sound-control-technologies","title":"Sound Control Technologies RC-Scaler – HDMI to HDCI Interface for Poly HDX","description":"\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sound Control Technologies RC-Scaler is an HDMI interface and scaler that connects HDMI video sources to the proprietary HDCI camera inputs on Poly (Polycom) HDX series codecs. It gives AV integrators and facilities teams a supported path to bring laptop content, HDMI converters, and auxiliary video devices into legacy HDX video conferencing systems such as the HDX 8000. For organizations maintaining installed Poly HDX rooms, the RC-Scaler extends the useful life of existing codec investments without a full room rebuild.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoly HDX codecs use the HDCI connector for camera and high-resolution video input, which prevents standard HDMI devices from connecting directly. The RC-Scaler bridges that gap: an HDMI source such as a laptop, media player, or USB-to-HDMI converter feeds the RC-Scaler, and the RC-Scaler outputs a properly formatted signal to the HDX codec over the HDCI interface. In a typical deployment documented in the vendor application guide, the RC-Scaler sits alongside a Poly HDX 8000 codec and an EagleEye III camera, using RC2-101 HDCI Y-cables and a DB9 coupler for the serial path, with power from the included WPS-12 30VDC supply. The module is compact at 1.5 inches high by 3.75 inches wide by 3.625 inches deep, so it installs cleanly behind a credenza, in a rack drawer, or at the codec location in a conference room. This makes the RC-Scaler a practical tool for integrators supporting installed Poly RealPresence HDX estates in corporate, government, and education environments where the codecs remain in service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHDMI to HDCI Conversion\u003c\/strong\u003e — Connects standard HDMI sources to the proprietary HDCI video inputs on Poly HDX series codecs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLegacy System Extension\u003c\/strong\u003e — Keeps installed Poly HDX rooms productive by adding modern HDMI content sources without replacing the codec.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLaptop and Converter Support\u003c\/strong\u003e — Accepts laptop HDMI output or USB-to-HDMI converter feeds for content sharing into the HDX system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact Form Factor\u003c\/strong\u003e — Measures 1.5\" H x 3.75\" W x 3.625\" D (38 x 95 x 92 mm) for discreet placement at the codec or credenza.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVendor-Documented Cabling\u003c\/strong\u003e — Integrates with RC2-101 HDCI Y-cables and DB9 coupler per the SCT application guide for reliable serial and video paths.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExternal Power Supply\u003c\/strong\u003e — Powered by the WPS-12 100-240V universal power supply for worldwide deployment.\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\u003eGovernment space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraining room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial meeting space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel \/ SKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRC-Scaler\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFunction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHDMI source interface\/scaler to Poly HDCI codec input\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Codecs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePoly (Polycom) HDX series, including HDX 8000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Cameras\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWorks alongside Poly EagleEye III in documented configurations\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnection Cabling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRC2-101-0.6M HDCI Y-cable (DB9-F coupler \/ 15-pin male to RC-Scaler)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWPS-12 30VDC power supply, 100–240V 47–63Hz input\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH 1.5\" x W 3.75\" x D 3.625\" (38 x 95 x 92 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich Poly codecs does the RC-Scaler work with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RC-Scaler is designed for Poly (Polycom) HDX series codecs that use HDCI camera inputs, including the HDX 8000.
