Sound Control Technologies RC4-PSX-S – Cisco SX20 Camera Extension Kit with Rack Shelf

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RC4-PSX-S is a RemoteCam4 project pack pairing the RC4-PSX HDMI camera extension kit with the RC-RK2 single-RU rack shelf. The RC4-PSX is purpose-built for Cisco video conferencing rooms running the SX20 codec with PrecisionHD 1080p 4xS2 (Precision 40) or 2.5x (5x) cameras. Using SCTLink™ technology, the kit extends HDMI video, RS-232 camera control, and 12V DC camera power up to 100 meters over a single CAT cable, letting integrators place the camera far from the codec without signal degradation.

Product Description

The RC4-PSX-S combines all RC4-PSX base kit components—RC4-CE camera module, RC4-HE head-end/codec module, Cisco-specific camera and codec cable set, and WPS-12 power supply—with the RC-RK2 rack shelf. The -S suffix indicates the rack shelf is included; no camera wall mount is supplied. The RC-RK2 is a single-RU shelf with 9-inch depth that holds the RC4-HE head-end module and power supply with rear cable access, keeping the codec rack tidy and serviceable. SCTLink carries video, serial control, and camera power over one installer-supplied CAT cable, so the camera position needs no local outlet or separate control run. Control passes transparently and no programming is required—the SX20 codec sees the camera exactly as if it were locally connected. For a camera wall mount instead of the rack shelf, see the RC4-PSX-K.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the -S suffix mean?

The -S suffix indicates this project pack includes the RC4-PSX base extension kit plus the RC-RK2 rack shelf. No camera wall mount is included. For a wall mount instead, order the RC4-PSX-K.

Which Cisco hardware does the RC4-PSX support?

The RC4-PSX is designed for the Cisco SX20 codec paired with PrecisionHD 1080p 4xS2 (Precision 40) or 2.5x (5x) cameras. For the PrecisionHD 12x camera with the SX20, see the RC4-PSA; for SX80 and C-Series codecs, see the RC4-PHD or RC4-PSB.

Is the CAT cable included?

No. The CAT cable between the RC4-CE and RC4-HE modules is installer-supplied. CAT5e or better is recommended; the maximum run is 100 meters.

Does the kit require programming?

No. Camera control passes transparently through the SCTLink connection, so the SX20 codec controls the camera exactly as if it were locally connected.
