Sound Control Technologies RC4-PHD-KS – Cisco PrecisionHD SX80 Extension Project Pack

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RC4-PHD-KS is a complete RemoteCam4 project pack for extending Cisco PrecisionHD 1080p 12x, 1080p 4xS1, and 720p 7x cameras up to 100 meters from Cisco SX80 and C-Series codecs. 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-PHD extension kit with the RC-RK2 1U rack shelf and the RCM-PH1 on-wall camera mount, covering the full hardware bill of materials for a conference room camera extension in one SKU.

Product Description

The RC4-PHD is the RemoteCam4 variant configured for Cisco SX80 and C-Series codec installations using PrecisionHD-generation cameras: the 1080p 12x, the 1080p 4xS1, and the 720p 7x. These codecs typically live in an equipment rack or credenza while the camera must be positioned at the display, often beyond the camera's native cable limits. The RC4-PHD provides a transparent extension link between camera and codec, preserving full PTZ control from the codec.

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 supported PrecisionHD cameras and SX80/C-Series codecs, so no custom cabling or configuration is needed.

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 alongside the codec, and the RCM-PH1 on-wall mount, which positions the PrecisionHD camera at display 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.

Key Features

• Three PrecisionHD Camera Models Supported — Covers the Cisco PrecisionHD 1080p 12x, 1080p 4xS1, and 720p 7x cameras with SX80 and C-Series codecs.
• Single-Cable Extension up to 100m — Video, serial control, and 12V DC camera power over one CAT cable reduces conduit fill and installation labor.
• Complete -KS Project Pack — Includes the RC4-PHD extension kit, RC-RK2 1U rack shelf, and RCM-PH1 on-wall camera mount in one SKU.
• No Programming Required — Camera control passes transparently between the codec and camera for plug-and-play operation.
• Power Over CAT — 12V camera power delivered over the extension cable eliminates a power outlet at the camera location.
• On-Wall Cable Concealment — The RCM-PH1 mount hides the camera-end module and cabling for a clean finished installation.
• Rack-Mount Head End — The RC-RK2 shelf secures the head-end module beside the SX80 or C-Series codec in a standard equipment rack.
• Commercial-Grade Construction — Made in the USA and Taiwan for permanent fixed installation.

Typical Applications

• Boardroom with a rack-mounted Cisco SX80 codec and PrecisionHD camera at the display wall
• Conference room retrofit extending an existing PrecisionHD 12x camera to a relocated equipment rack
• All-hands room or training room with long camera-to-rack cable distances
• Commercial meeting space standardizing Cisco SX80/C-Series rooms on a single extension platform
• Government space requiring a tested, commercial-grade Cisco camera extension link

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

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

The -KS includes the RC4-PHD extension kit, the RC-RK2 1U rack shelf for the head-end module, and the RCM-PH1 on-wall camera mount. The -S variant adds only the rack shelf, the -K variant adds only the wall mount, and the base RC4-PHD is the extension kit alone.

How does the RC4-PHD differ from the RC4-PSA?

Both support the Cisco PrecisionHD 1080p 12x camera, but the RC4-PHD is configured for SX80 and C-Series codecs (and also supports the 4xS1 and 720p 7x cameras), while the RC4-PSA is configured for the SX20 codec. Match the SKU to the codec in the room.

Does the RC4-PHD work with the Precision 40 camera?

No. For the PrecisionHD 1080p 4xS2 (Precision 40) or 2.5x (5x) camera with SX80/C-Series codecs, specify the RC4-PSB. Contact Creation Networks to confirm the correct variant for your camera and codec combination.

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.
