{"product_id":"rc4-hst-ks","title":"Sound Control Technologies RC4-HST-KS – HuddleCamHD SimplTrack Extension Project Pack","description":"\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sound Control Technologies RC4-HST-KS is a complete RemoteCam4 project pack for extending the HuddleCamHD SimplTrack Lite auto-tracking camera up to 100 meters from the codec or head-end equipment. The RC4 platform carries HDMI video, serial control, and 12V DC camera power over a single CAT cable — no programming required. The -KS project pack bundles the RC4-HST extension kit with the RC-RK2 1U rack shelf and the matching RCM on-wall camera mount, covering the full hardware bill of materials for a tracking-camera extension build in one SKU.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RC4-HST is the RemoteCam4 variant configured for the HuddleCamHD SimplTrack Lite, an auto-tracking camera commonly specified for lecture capture, training rooms, and houses of worship where the presenter moves freely. Tracking cameras are typically mounted at the rear of the room or at ceiling height — well beyond native HDMI and control cable limits. The RC4-HST solves this by providing a transparent extension link: HDMI video, bidirectional serial camera control, and 12V DC camera power all travel over one installer-supplied CAT cable between the RC4-CE camera-end module and the RC4-HE head-end module.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe kit ships with the camera-matched cable set for the SimplTrack Lite, so the camera connects directly to the camera-end module with no custom cabling, and control passes transparently to the head end. The system designer can place the camera at the optimal tracking position while keeping the codec, recorder, or production switcher in the equipment rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe -KS configuration is the full project pack: it adds the RC-RK2 rack shelf for mounting the head-end module in a standard 19-inch rack, and the RCM-series on-wall mount, which positions the camera while concealing the camera-end module and cabling. Power is delivered to the camera over the CAT run, so no outlet is required at the camera position. The system is manufactured in the USA and Taiwan for permanent commercial installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHuddleCamHD SimplTrack Lite Support\u003c\/strong\u003e — Purpose-built cable set and configuration for the SimplTrack Lite auto-tracking camera.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-Cable Extension up to 100m\u003c\/strong\u003e — HDMI video, serial control, and 12V DC camera power over one CAT cable reduces conduit fill and installation labor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete -KS Project Pack\u003c\/strong\u003e — Includes the RC4-HST extension kit, RC-RK2 1U rack shelf, and RCM on-wall camera mount in one SKU.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo Programming Required\u003c\/strong\u003e — Serial camera control passes transparently for plug-and-play operation; tracking functions remain in the camera.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Over CAT\u003c\/strong\u003e — 12V camera power delivered over the extension cable eliminates a power outlet at the rear-of-room camera location.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOn-Wall Cable Concealment\u003c\/strong\u003e — The RCM mount hides the camera-end module and cabling for a clean finished installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRack-Mount Head End\u003c\/strong\u003e — The RC-RK2 shelf secures the head-end module in a standard equipment rack.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommercial-Grade Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e — Made in the USA and Taiwan for permanent fixed installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraining room with a rear-mounted SimplTrack Lite tracking the instructor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse of worship tracking a pastor or presenter across the platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuditorium or all-hands room with the tracking camera far from the equipment rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-purpose room with lecture capture fed to a rack-mounted recorder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment space or council chamber requiring concealed camera cabling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel \/ SKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRC4-HST-KS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Family\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRemoteCam4™ (RC4) — HDMI + Serial Control + 12V Camera Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Camera\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHuddleCamHD SimplTrack Lite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSignals Carried\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHDMI video, serial 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\u003eKit Contents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRC4-HST Extension Kit + RC-RK2 Rack Shelf + RCM On-Wall Camera Mount\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$2,700\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is included in the RC4-HST-KS project pack?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe -KS includes the RC4-HST extension kit, the RC-RK2 1U rack shelf for the head-end module, and the RCM on-wall camera mount.
