Sound Control Technologies RC4-E4P-S – Camera Extension Kit with Rack Shelf for Poly EagleEye IV

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RC4-E4P-S is a project pack bundling the RC4-E4P HDMI camera extension kit with an RC-RK2 1RU rack shelf, designed for Poly EagleEye IV deployments with Poly RealPresence Group codecs. The RC-RK2 shelf mounts in a standard equipment rack and accommodates the RC4-HE head-end module alongside the codec, keeping the installation organized and cable runs short at the rack. SCTLink™ technology extends HDMI video, RS-232 Visca control, and 12V DC camera power up to 100 meters over a single CAT cable to the camera location. This pack is appropriate when wall-mount hardware is not needed but a tidy rack installation is required.

Product Description

The RC4-E4P-S includes all components of the RC4-E4P base kit—RC4-CE camera module, RC4-HE head-end/codec module, Poly-specific interconnect cables, and WPS-12 power supply—plus the RC-RK2 1RU rack shelf. The RC-RK2 is a standard 1U rack shelf that accommodates up to two head-end modules (RC4-HE, RC5-HE, RCU2-HE, or similar SCT modules), making it practical for rooms with multiple camera systems sharing rack space. The RC4-HE connects to the Poly codec via HDCI cables included in the kit, and the RC4-CE at the camera receives power, video, and Visca control signals through the single CAT cable run. The -S suffix denotes the inclusion of the rack shelf without a camera wall mount; integrators who need both should select the RC4-E4P-KS. No programming is required for standard Visca control operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the -S suffix mean?

The -S suffix indicates this is a project pack that includes the base RC4-E4P extension kit plus the RC-RK2 1RU rack shelf. It does not include a camera wall mount. For a kit with both the rack shelf and a camera wall mount, see the RC4-E4P-KS.

How many modules can the RC-RK2 shelf hold?

The RC-RK2 is a 1RU shelf that accommodates up to two SCT head-end modules (such as RC4-HE, RC5-HE, or RCU2-HE). This is useful in rooms with two camera systems sharing the same equipment rack.

Does this kit include a camera wall mount?

No. The RC4-E4P-S includes only the rack shelf. If a camera wall mount is also needed, select the RC4-E4P-K (mount only) or RC4-E4P-KS (both mount and rack shelf).

What codec and camera combinations are supported?

The RC4-E4P-S supports Poly RealPresence Group 300, Group 500, and G7500 codecs with the Poly EagleEye IV camera.
