Using SCTLink™ technology, the RC4-APA extends HDMI video, RS-232 Visca PTZ control, and 12V DC camera power up to 100 meters over a single CAT cable, connecting a remote PTZ camera to any compatible RS-232 codec or control system. The kit is plug-and-play with no programming required for standard Visca control. All AVer-specific interconnect cables are included, eliminating adapter sourcing at installation time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RC4-APA uses two modules—the RC4-CE at the camera and the RC4-HE at the codec or head end—to transport three signal types over one CAT cable run up to 100 meters. HDMI video travels from camera to codec; RS-232 Visca control travels from codec to camera for full PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) operation; and 12V DC power travels from the head end to the camera, eliminating a separate power run to the camera mount location. The kit includes AVer-specific cables: RCC-C001-0.3M (HDMI to HDMI camera cable), PPC-022-0.3M (RJ11 to 5.5x2.1mm DC plug power cable), RCC-C005-0.3M (RJ45 to 8-pin DIN control cable), RCC-H001-1.0M (HDMI head-end cable), RCC-H010-2.0M (DB9F to DB9F serial head-end cable), and the WPS-12 power supply. This combination covers video, control, and power without additional adapters. The RC4-APA is appropriate for any installation deploying AVer CAM520 Pro, CAM520 Pro3, CAM550, or CAM570 cameras at distances beyond standard HDMI cable reach. For installations also requiring a camera wall mount or rack shelf, the RC4-APA-K and RC4-APA-S project packs add those accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBroad AVer Camera Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — Supports AVer CAM520 Pro Advanced, CAM520 Pro3, CAM550, CAM570, MD120UI, MD330U, and MD330UI from a single kit SKU.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-CAT Extension up to 100m\u003c\/strong\u003e — HDMI video, RS-232 Visca control, and 12V DC power over one CAT cable; no multi-cable bundles or HDMI extenders needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAVer-Specific Cable Set\u003c\/strong\u003e — Includes HDMI, power (RJ11 to DC plug), and RS-232 serial cables sized and terminated for AVer cameras; no adapter sourcing required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo Programming Required\u003c\/strong\u003e — RS-232 Visca PTZ control passes transparently; no external control processor needed for basic PTZ operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e12V Camera Power Delivery\u003c\/strong\u003e — WPS-12 power supply and RC4-CE eliminate the need for a separate power run to the camera location.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModular Design\u003c\/strong\u003e — RC4-CE and RC4-HE modules are individually replaceable if damaged.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommercial-Grade Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e — USA\/Taiwan manufactured for permanent deployment in conference rooms, training rooms, and commercial meeting spaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConference room with an AVer CAM520 Pro camera positioned above a display or on a wall, away from the codec rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraining room requiring a ceiling- or wall-mounted AVer PTZ camera connected to a far-end codec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorporate boardroom deploying multiple AVer cameras over CAT infrastructure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment or commercial meeting space with AVer camera and RS-232 codec integration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-purpose room with AVer PTZ camera and a control system driving Visca commands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel \/ SKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRC4-APA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Family\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRemoteCam4™ (RC4) — HDMI + Visca Control + 12V Camera Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupported Cameras\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAVer CAM520 Pro Advanced, CAM520 Pro3, CAM550, CAM570, MD120UI, MD330U, MD330UI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSignal Types Carried\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHDMI video, RS-232 Visca PTZ control, 12V DC camera power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Extension Distance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 meters (328 ft) over CAT cable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Components\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRC4-CE Camera Module, RC4-HE Head-End Module, RCC-C001-0.3M HDMI Camera Cable, PPC-022-0.3M RJ11-to-DC Power Cable, RCC-C005-0.3M RJ45-to-8-Pin DIN Control Cable, RCC-H001-1.0M HDMI Head-End Cable, RCC-H010-2.0M DB9F-to-DB9F Serial Cable, WPS-12 Power Supply\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEach\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA\/Taiwan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMSRP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$2,445\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich AVer cameras does the RC4-APA support?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RC4-APA is compatible with the AVer CAM520 Pro Advanced, CAM520 Pro3, CAM550, CAM570, MD120UI, MD330U, and MD330UI.
