Sound Control Technologies RC4-P13-KS – Panasonic AW-HE130 Extension Project Pack

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RC4-P13-KS is a complete RemoteCam4 project pack for extending the Panasonic AW-HE130 PTZ camera up to 100 meters from the codec or head-end equipment. The RC4 platform carries camera video, serial control, and 12V DC camera power over a single CAT cable — no programming required. The -KS project pack bundles the RC4-P13 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 camera extension build in one SKU.

Product Description

The RC4-P13 is the RemoteCam4 variant configured for the Panasonic AW-HE130, a full HD integrated PTZ camera widely deployed in conference rooms, broadcast studios, and houses of worship. The RC4-P13 provides a transparent, reliable link between the AW-HE130 and the codec or production head-end: 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.

The kit ships with the camera-matched cable set for the AW-HE130, so the camera connects directly to the camera-end module with no custom cabling, and PTZ control passes transparently to the head end. This lets the system designer place the camera at ceiling level or across the room from the equipment rack without separate video, control, and power runs.

The -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 at the optimal height 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the RC4-P13-KS project pack?

The -KS includes the RC4-P13 extension kit, the RC-RK2 1U rack shelf for the head-end module, and the RCM on-wall camera mount. The -S variant adds only the rack shelf, the -K variant adds only the wall mount, and the base RC4-P13 is the extension kit alone.

Does the RC4-P13 support other Panasonic cameras?

The RC4-P13 is configured specifically for the Panasonic AW-HE130. For other Panasonic models such as the AW-HE40 series, specify the RC4-P40. Contact Creation Networks to confirm the correct variant for your camera.

Can the AW-HE130 be ceiling mounted with this kit?

Yes. The extension link works regardless of camera orientation; the included RCM on-wall mount suits wall placement, while standard Panasonic ceiling mounts can be used instead if the design calls for ceiling mounting.

Is the CAT cable included?

No. The CAT cable between the camera-end and head-end modules is supplied by the installer. CAT5e or better is recommended, with a maximum run of 100 meters; use plenum-rated cable where required by code.

What are the warranty terms?

Contact Creation Networks for current Sound Control Technologies warranty terms and support options for the RC4 product line.
