Sound Control Technologies RC4-UNI-KS – Camera Extension Project Pack with Rack Shelf and Universal Wall Mount

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RC4-UNI-KS is a complete project pack for integrators deploying compatible PTZ cameras over extended CAT5e/6 cable runs where a universal camera interface is required. The RC4 platform carries HDMI video, VISCA PTZ control, and 12V DC camera power over a single CAT cable to distances up to 300 feet. The -KS project pack includes the RC4 extension kit, the RC-RK2 rack shelf, and the RCM-UNI universal on-wall camera mount, providing all hardware for a standard conference room camera extension build.

Product Description

The RC4-UNI is the universal interface variant of the RC4 camera extender, designed for PTZ cameras that use standard HDMI output and VISCA serial control but are not covered by a camera-specific RC4 SKU. The system carries HDMI at up to 1080p 60Hz, bidirectional VISCA control, and 12V DC camera power — all over one CAT5e/6 cable — from codec rack to camera location. The camera-end and head-end modules are configured for universal HDMI and VISCA connectivity.

The -KS configuration is the full project pack: it bundles the RC4-UNI extension kit with the RC-RK2 1U rack shelf for rack-mounting the head-end unit, and the RCM-UNI universal on-wall camera mount. Integrators working across multiple camera brands or deploying cameras not covered by a model-specific RC4 variant use the RC4-UNI for flexible deployment. All hardware is included in one SKU, simplifying procurement.

Power is delivered to the camera over the CAT cable, so no separate power supply is needed at the camera location. The system is manufactured in the USA and Taiwan for commercial fixed installation.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What cameras are compatible with the RC4-UNI-KS?

The RC4-UNI is designed for PTZ cameras that use HDMI video output and VISCA serial control. It is intended for cameras not covered by a camera-specific RC4 variant. Contact Creation Networks to confirm compatibility with your specific camera model before ordering.

How does the RC4-UNI differ from camera-specific RC4 models?

Camera-specific models (e.g., RC4-E4P for Poly EagleEye IV, RC4-P40 for Panasonic AW-HE40) include camera-matched interface cabling and may carry additional signals specific to that camera. The RC4-UNI uses a universal HDMI and VISCA interface for broader compatibility.

What is in the -KS project pack?

The -KS includes the RC4-UNI extension kit, the RC-RK2 1U rack shelf, and the RCM-UNI universal on-wall camera mount. -S adds only the rack shelf; -K adds only the wall mount; the base RC4-UNI is the extension kit alone.

What CAT cable is required?

CAT5e or CAT6. Maximum 300 feet. Use plenum-rated cable for plenum spaces.

What are the warranty terms?

Contact Creation Networks for current Sound Control Technologies warranty terms for the RC4 product line.
