Sound Control Technologies RC4-PSX – Camera Extension for Cisco PrecisionHD and SX20

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RC4-PSX is a commercial-grade camera extension kit for Cisco PrecisionHD 1080p 4xS2 (Precision 40) and PrecisionHD 2.5x (5x) cameras paired with the Cisco SX20 codec. Using SCTLink™ technology, the RC4-PSX extends HDMI video, camera control, and 12V DC camera power up to 100 meters over a single CAT cable. The kit includes camera and head-end modules with a Cisco-specific cable set, and no programming is required.

Product Description

The RC4-PSX solves the distance limitation between a Cisco SX20 codec and its PrecisionHD camera in conference room and boardroom installations. The RC4-CE camera module installs at the camera position and the RC4-HE head-end module installs at the SX20 codec; a single installer-supplied CAT cable between them carries HDMI video, camera control, and 12V DC power up to 100 meters. Control passes transparently, so pan, tilt, zoom, presets, and camera wake behavior operate exactly as with a direct connection. This lets the integrator place the codec in an equipment rack or credenza while positioning the PrecisionHD camera at the display wall. For Cisco C-Series codec environments with the same cameras, see the RC4-PSB; for PrecisionHD 12x cameras with the SX20, see the RC4-PSA at Creation Networks. Wall mount and rack shelf project packs are available as RC4-PSX-K, RC4-PSX-S, and RC4-PSX-KS.

Key Features

• Cisco PrecisionHD Compatibility — Tested and supported for the PrecisionHD 1080p 4xS2 (Precision 40) and PrecisionHD 2.5x (5x) cameras with the SX20 codec.
• Single-CAT Extension up to 100m — HDMI video, camera control, and 12V DC camera power travel over one CAT cable run.
• No Programming Required — Camera control passes transparently for plug-and-play operation with the SX20.
• 12V Camera Power Delivery — The WPS-12 supply at the head end powers the camera remotely, eliminating a separate electrical run.
• Cisco-Specific Cable Set Included — Camera-side and codec-side cables for the supported PrecisionHD cameras and SX20 ship in the kit.
• Modular Design — RC4-CE and RC4-HE modules are individually replaceable for long-term serviceability.
• Commercial-Grade Construction — USA/Taiwan manufactured for permanent AV installations.

Typical Applications

• Conference room with an SX20 codec racked away from the display and camera wall
• Boardroom requiring clean cabling between the PrecisionHD camera and a concealed codec
• Training room or multi-purpose room reusing structured CAT cabling for the camera run
• Government space standardized on Cisco SX20 video conferencing endpoints
• Commercial meeting space extending the life of existing PrecisionHD camera inventory

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the RC4-PSX, RC4-PSB, and RC4-PSA?

The RC4-PSX supports the PrecisionHD 1080p 4xS2 and 2.5x cameras with the Cisco SX20 codec. The RC4-PSB supports the same cameras with Cisco C-Series codecs. The RC4-PSA supports PrecisionHD 12x-class cameras with the SX80 and C-Series codecs. Match the kit to your codec and camera combination before ordering.

Does the RC4-PSX include a wall mount or rack shelf?

No. The base kit includes the extension modules, Cisco cable set, and power supply only. The RC4-PSX-K adds a camera wall mount, the RC4-PSX-S adds the RC-RK2 rack shelf, and the RC4-PSX-KS adds both.

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.

Will camera control and presets still work over the extension?

Yes. Camera control passes transparently through the SCTLink connection, so the SX20 controls the PrecisionHD camera exactly as it would over a direct cable.
