Sound Control Technologies RC-SDA-PE4 – Gen3 EagleEye IV Bridge with Direct Connection Adapter

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RC-SDA-PE4 Gen3 is a 4K60-capable media bridge for the Poly EagleEye IV camera that includes an EEIV Direct Connection Adapter, enabling direct physical connection between the camera and the bridge unit without an intermediate extension module or cable run. It shares the core capabilities of the RC-SDA Gen3—HDCI to BYOD HDMI conversion and integrated Visca/Poly serial PTZ transcoding—while the included adapter makes it the correct choice for installations where the bridge is positioned adjacent to the EagleEye IV rather than at a remote head-end location. Commercial AV integrators deploying EagleEye IV cameras in compact spaces or wall-mount configurations will find the RC-SDA-PE4 Gen3 the appropriate selection.

The unit accepts the Poly EagleEye IV HDCI connection, delivers 4K60 HDMI output, and handles PTZ control transcoding between Visca/Poly serial formats and the BYOD host.

Product Description

The RC-SDA-PE4 Gen3 is functionally identical to the RC-SDA Gen3 with the addition of the EEIV Direct Connection Adapter included in the kit. This adapter allows the bridge to connect physically and directly to the Poly EagleEye IV, eliminating the need for a separate HDCI cable run between the camera and the bridge in applications where proximity mounting is preferred or required. The bridge outputs 4K60 HDMI for connection to displays, codecs, or HDMI distribution systems, and the integrated Visca/Poly serial transcoder maintains full PTZ control between the BYOD host and the camera.

For AV system designers, the RC-SDA-PE4 Gen3 reduces installation hardware when the bridge can be co-located with the camera rather than rack-mounted at a distance. This configuration can simplify cable management and reduce the number of pass-through connections in the signal path. The kit is suitable for new installations and for upgrading existing RC-SDA Gen3 deployments where the direct connection adapter is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the RC-SDA-PE4 Gen3 and the RC-SDA Gen3?

The RC-SDA-PE4 Gen3 includes the EEIV Direct Connection Adapter for co-located installations where the bridge connects directly to the EagleEye IV. The RC-SDA Gen3 does not include this adapter and is intended for rack-mounted head-end configurations connected via HDCI cable. Choose based on whether the bridge will be physically adjacent to the camera or mounted remotely.

Can the RC-SDA-PE4 Gen3 still be used with a remote HDCI cable run?

The unit is optimized for use with the included direct connection adapter. Contact Creation Networks to discuss your specific installation requirements.
