Sound Control Technologies RC4-HST-S – SimplTrack Lite Camera Extension Kit with Rack Shelf

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RC4-HST-S is a project pack bundling the RC4-HST HDMI camera extension kit for the HuddleCamHD SimplTrack Lite auto-tracking camera with an RC-RK2 rack shelf for the head-end module. Using SCTLink™ technology, the kit extends HDMI video, RS-232 PTZ control, and 12V DC camera power up to 100 meters over a single CAT cable. The RC-RK2 shelf provides a clean rack-mount finish for the head-end module in the equipment rack or credenza.

Product Description

The RC4-HST-S includes all RC4-HST base kit components—RC4-CE camera module, RC4-HE head-end module, the SimplTrack Lite-specific cable set, and WPS-12 power supply—plus the RC-RK2 rack shelf. The RC4-CE connects to the SimplTrack Lite at the camera location, the RC4-HE mounts on the RC-RK2 shelf in the rack, and a single installer-supplied CAT cable between them carries HDMI video, RS-232 control, and 12V DC power up to 100 meters. Because the SimplTrack Lite performs presenter tracking on board, full camera functionality is preserved at the head end with no programming required. The -S suffix indicates the rack shelf is included without a camera wall mount. For a wall mount, see RC4-HST-K; for both accessories, see RC4-HST-KS.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the -S suffix mean?

The -S suffix indicates this pack includes the RC4-HST base kit plus the RC-RK2 rack shelf for the head-end module. No camera wall mount is included. For a wall mount, see RC4-HST-K. For both, see RC4-HST-KS.

Which camera does the RC4-HST-S support?

The kit is designed and tested for the HuddleCamHD SimplTrack Lite auto-tracking camera. For the HuddleCamHD HuddleView or SimplTrack2, use the RC4-HHV series instead.

Does auto-tracking still work over the extension?

Yes. The SimplTrack Lite performs presenter tracking in the camera itself, so tracking operates normally regardless of extension distance, and RS-232 control passes through for preset and PTZ commands.

Is the CAT cable included?

No. The CAT run between the RC4-CE and RC4-HE modules is supplied by the installer. CAT5e or better is recommended, with a maximum run of 100 meters.
