Sound Control Technologies RC4-PSX-KS – Cisco Precision 40 SX20 Extension Project Pack

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RC4-PSX-KS is a complete RemoteCam4 project pack for extending Cisco PrecisionHD 1080p 4xS2 (Precision 40) and PrecisionHD 2.5x (5x) cameras up to 100 meters from a Cisco SX20 codec. 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-PSX 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 conference room camera extension in one SKU.

Product Description

The RC4-PSX is the RemoteCam4 variant configured for Cisco SX20 codec installations using the PrecisionHD 1080p 4xS2 (Precision 40) or PrecisionHD 2.5x (5x) camera. In a standard SX20 deployment the camera must sit within a short cable distance of the codec; the RC4-PSX removes that constraint by providing a transparent extension link, letting the integrator place the codec in an equipment rack or credenza while mounting the camera at the display across the room.

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 Cisco cameras and SX20 codec, 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 and the RCM-series on-wall mount, which positions the 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

• Cisco Precision 40 and 2.5x Camera Support — Purpose-built for Cisco PrecisionHD 1080p 4xS2 (Precision 40) and PrecisionHD 2.5x (5x) cameras paired with the SX20 codec.
• 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-PSX extension kit, RC-RK2 1U rack shelf, and RCM on-wall camera mount in one SKU.
• No Programming Required — Camera control passes transparently between the SX20 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 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 SX20 in a standard equipment rack.
• Commercial-Grade Construction — Made in the USA and Taiwan for permanent fixed installation.

Typical Applications

• Conference room with a Cisco SX20 codec racked away from the display and camera wall
• Boardroom retrofit extending an existing Precision 40 camera to a relocated equipment rack
• Training room or multi-purpose room with long camera-to-codec cable distances
• Commercial meeting space standardizing Cisco SX20 rooms on a single extension platform
• Government space requiring a tested, commercial-grade Cisco camera extension link

Frequently Asked Questions

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

The -KS includes the RC4-PSX 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-PSX is the extension kit alone.

How does the RC4-PSX differ from the RC4-PSB?

Both support the Cisco PrecisionHD 1080p 4xS2 (Precision 40) and 2.5x (5x) cameras, but the RC4-PSX is configured for the SX20 codec while the RC4-PSB is configured for SX80 and C-Series codecs. Match the SKU to the codec in the room.

Does the RC4-PSX work with the PrecisionHD 12x camera?

No. For the PrecisionHD 1080p 12x camera with an SX20 codec, specify the RC4-PSA; with SX80/C-Series codecs, specify the RC4-PHD. 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.
