Sound Control Technologies RC-SDA4+UNI – RemoteCam4 Kit for Multi-Manufacturer PTZ Cameras

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RC-SDA4+UNI is a complete RemoteCam4 extension kit configured for multiple PTZ camera manufacturers including Lumens, Marshall, Sony, and PTZ Optics. It packages the RC-SDA4+ BYOD Camera Bridge with universal-fit cabling to convert HDMI video and audio to USB3 and translate UVC PTZ commands to RS-232 Visca, all transported over CAT cable infrastructure. AV integrators specifying systems with non-proprietary or multi-vendor camera selections can order a single SKU covering the full extension system for these camera families.

The kit replaces the RC4-HE head-end module in existing RemoteCam4 installations and pairs with the RC4-CE extension module already installed at the camera end, supporting field upgrades without disturbing existing cabling.

Product Description

The RC-SDA4+UNI bundles the RC-SDA4+ media bridge with universal camera-compatible cabling suited to Lumens, Marshall, Sony, and PTZ Optics PTZ cameras. The bridge takes HDMI video and audio input from the camera and delivers USB3 output to the room codec or BYOD host, presenting the camera as a standard UVC device. UVC PTZ control commands from the host are converted to RS-232 Visca for full pan, tilt, and zoom operation of the connected camera.

For AV system designers, the UNI kit reduces specification complexity when working with a range of PTZ camera brands, consolidating head-end bridge hardware and camera-specific cabling into one line item. The kit is compatible with BYOD and BYOM workflows and works with Cisco, Poly, and software-based codec environments. Signal transport over CAT cable matches the structured wiring found in most commercial conference room installations.
