Sound Control Technologies RC-SDA4+USM – RemoteCam4 Kit for Square Base PTZ Cameras

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RC-SDA4+USM is a RemoteCam4 extension kit configured for PTZ cameras with square bases, including models from Lumens, Marshall, Sony, and PTZ Optics. It packages the RC-SDA4+ BYOD Camera Bridge with square-base camera cabling to deliver HDMI-to-USB3 conversion and UVC-to-RS-232-Visca PTZ control translation over CAT cable. Commercial AV integrators can specify a single SKU that covers the head-end bridge and all camera-specific cabling for square-base PTZ installations.

The kit replaces the RC4-HE head-end module and works with existing RC4-CE extension modules in the field, supporting upgrades without new cabling infrastructure.

Product Description

The RC-SDA4+USM targets installations using PTZ cameras with a square base form factor, common across several Lumens, Marshall, Sony, and PTZ Optics models. The RC-SDA4+ bridge accepts HDMI video and audio from the camera, delivers USB3 output to the connected codec or BYOD host, and converts UVC PTZ commands from the host to RS-232 Visca for camera pan, tilt, and zoom. Signal and control travel over CAT cable to the RC4-CE module at the camera end.

For AV system designers, the USM variant eliminates cabling compatibility research specific to square-base camera configurations. Technicians can swap out the RC4-HE head-end for the RC-SDA4+ bridge without touching the camera-end RC4-CE module or existing cable runs. The kit is compatible with BYOD and BYOM workflows, presenting the camera as a UVC USB3 device to any connected host system.
