Sound Control Technologies RC-SDA5+P40 – RemoteCam5 Extension Kit for Panasonic Cameras

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RC-SDA5+P40 is a complete RemoteCam5 camera extension kit configured for Panasonic PTZ cameras. It bundles the RC-SDA5+ BYOD Camera Bridge with Panasonic-specific cabling to convert HDMI video and audio to USB3 and translate UVC PTZ commands to IP Visca for full camera control over CAT cable. Commercial AV integrators deploying Panasonic PTZ cameras in conference rooms and training spaces can order a single SKU covering all required components for a complete extension system.

The kit is designed as a direct upgrade for RC5-HE head-end modules in existing RemoteCam5 installations, pairing with RC5-CE extension modules already installed at the camera end without requiring new cabling.

Product Description

The RC-SDA5+P40 packages the RC-SDA5+ bridge with all Panasonic PTZ camera-specific cabling for a complete, pre-matched installation kit. The bridge accepts HDMI video and audio from the Panasonic camera and delivers USB3 output to the host codec or BYOD device. Incoming UVC PTZ commands from the host are converted to IP Visca for camera control, making this kit the correct choice for Panasonic cameras in the P40 family that use IP-based PTZ protocols.

AV system designers can specify a single line item that covers the head-end electronics and all camera-specific cabling. Technicians in the field can replace the RC5-HE head-end with the RC-SDA5+ bridge without disturbing the RC5-CE module at the camera end or the existing CAT cable run. The kit supports BYOD and BYOM deployments, presenting the Panasonic camera as a standard UVC USB3 device to any connected host.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this kit use IP Visca or RS-232 Visca for PTZ control?

Is the RC5-CE extension module included?

No. The RC-SDA5+P40 includes the RC-SDA5+ bridge and camera-specific cabling. The RC5-CE module at the camera end must already be installed or sourced separately.
