Sound Control Technologies RC4-APA-KS – Camera Extension Project Pack with Rack Shelf and Wall Mount

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RC4-APA-KS is a complete project pack for deploying the AVer CAM520 Pro Advanced PTZ camera over extended CAT5e/6 cable runs in commercial conference room and meeting space installations. The RC4 extension kit transmits HDMI video, VISCA PTZ control, and 12V DC camera power over a single CAT cable to distances up to 300 feet. The -KS configuration adds the RC-RK2 rack shelf for head-end rack mounting and the RCM-URM on-wall camera mount, delivering all hardware needed for a complete installation in one SKU.

Product Description

The RC4 platform is a commercial-grade camera extender for permanent fixed installation in AV systems. It carries HDMI at up to 1080p 60Hz, bidirectional VISCA control for PTZ operation, and 12V DC camera power — all over one CAT5e/6 cable. The camera-end module (RC4-CE) connects to the AVer CAM520 Pro Advanced using the appropriate interface cabling, and the head-end module (RC4-HE) connects at the codec or display rack.

The -KS project pack bundles three components: the RC4 extension kit for signal transmission, the RC-RK2 1U rack shelf for mounting the head-end module in a standard equipment rack, and the RCM-URM universal rack/wall camera mount for securing the camera-end module at the deployment location. Ordering the -KS eliminates the need to source mounting hardware separately and ensures component compatibility across the kit.

Because power is delivered over the CAT cable, no separate power supply or AC outlet is required at the camera location. This simplifies rough-in, reduces conduit fill, and supports clean commercial installations. The RC4 system is manufactured in the USA and Taiwan.
