{"product_id":"rc4-p40-ks","title":"Sound Control Technologies RC4-P40-KS – PTZ Camera Extension Project Pack with Rack Shelf and Wall Mount","description":"\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sound Control Technologies RC4-P40-KS is a complete project pack for integrators deploying the Panasonic AW-HE40 or AW-HE60 PTZ camera over extended CAT cable runs. This camera extension kit transmits HDMI video, VISCA serial control, and 12V DC camera power over a single CAT5e\/6 cable to distances up to 300 feet, eliminating point-to-point HDMI cable runs from camera to codec. The -KS project pack bundles the RC4 extension kit with the RC-RK2 rack shelf for codec-end rack mounting and the RCM-UNI on-wall camera mount, providing a complete hardware set for a standard conference room installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RC4 platform is a commercial-grade HDBaseT-style camera extender purpose-built for fixed-install AV environments. It carries HDMI video at up to 1080p 60Hz, bidirectional VISCA control for pan-tilt-zoom operation, and 12V DC power for the camera — all over a single shielded or unshielded CAT5e\/6 cable. The camera-end unit (RC4-CE) connects directly to the Panasonic AW-HE40 or AW-HE60 using manufacturer-specific cabling, and the head-end unit (RC4-HE) connects to the codec or display system at the rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe -KS suffix designates the full project pack configuration: it adds the RC-RK2 rack shelf for clean 1U rack installation of the head-end unit, and the RCM-UNI universal on-wall camera mount for secure wall or ceiling deployment of the camera-end module. Integrators receive everything needed to complete the camera extension run in a single line-item PO, simplifying procurement for commercial conference room deployments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause control and power travel the same CAT cable as the video signal, there is no need for separate RS-232 wiring or local power supplies at the camera. This reduces conduit fill, simplifies commissioning, and supports clean plenum cable routing when shielded CAT is used. The RC4 is manufactured in the USA and Taiwan and is designed for permanent installation in commercial meeting spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated Signal Extension\u003c\/strong\u003e — Carries HDMI video, VISCA PTZ control, and 12V camera power over a single CAT5e\/6 cable, reducing cabling complexity in conference room builds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePanasonic AW-HE40 and AW-HE60 Compatible\u003c\/strong\u003e — Camera-end module is configured specifically for the Panasonic AW-HE40 and AW-HE60 PTZ cameras with appropriate signal conditioning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e300-Foot Extension Range\u003c\/strong\u003e — Supports cable runs up to 300 feet, covering large conference rooms, boardrooms, and multi-purpose spaces without signal degradation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1080p 60Hz Video\u003c\/strong\u003e — Transmits full HD video at up to 1080p 60Hz for sharp, high-frame-rate video conferencing output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete Project Pack (-KS)\u003c\/strong\u003e — Includes the RC4 extension kit, RC-RK2 rack shelf for head-end rack mounting, and RCM-UNI on-wall camera mount — all hardware in one SKU.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo Local Camera Power Supply Required\u003c\/strong\u003e — 12V DC camera power delivered over CAT cable eliminates a separate power run to the camera location.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommercial-Grade Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e — Designed for permanent fixed installation; manufactured in the USA and Taiwan to commercial AV standards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConference room PTZ camera extension with rack-mounted codec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoardroom video conferencing infrastructure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-purpose room AV system integration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial meeting space PTZ deployment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraining room camera and codec integration\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-P40-KS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Cameras\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePanasonic AW-HE40, AW-HE60\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSignals Carried\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHDMI video, VISCA 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\u003eUp to 300 ft over CAT5e\/6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVideo Resolution\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 1080p 60Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKit Contents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRC4 Extension Kit + RC-RK2 Rack Shelf + RCM-UNI 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$2,815\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich Panasonic cameras are compatible with the RC4-P40-KS?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RC4-P40-KS is configured to support the Panasonic AW-HE40 and AW-HE60 PTZ cameras.
