{"product_id":"rc5-1bc","title":"Sound Control Technologies RC5-1BC – HDMI Camera Extension for Crestron 1Beyond Cameras","description":"\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sound Control Technologies RC5-1BC is an HDMI camera extension kit for Crestron 1Beyond PTZ cameras, extending HDMI video, IP\/Ethernet camera control, and 12V DC power up to 100 meters over a single CAT cable. Built on the RemoteCam5 (RC5 Gen2) platform with SCTLink technology, the RC5-1BC supports the Crestron 1Beyond IV-CAMPTZ-12, Crestron 1Beyond IV-CAMPTZ-20, and Lumens CL511 cameras. No programming is required, making it a straightforward camera extension solution for conference room and production-style installations where the camera must sit far from the codec or processor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrestron 1Beyond Intelligent Video cameras are frequently deployed at the rear or sides of large rooms, well beyond standard HDMI cable distances. The RC5-1BC solves this with a camera-end module and a head-end module that carry video, Ethernet control, and camera power over one installer-supplied CAT cable run of up to 100 meters (328 ft). At the camera end, the RC5-CE module connects to the 1Beyond camera with the included short HDMI, UTP, and DC power cables, eliminating local power outlets at the camera position. At the head end, the RC5-HE module hands off HDMI video and network control to the codec, capture system, or control processor. As an RC5 Gen2 kit, the RC5-1BC adds native Cisco Control Hub integration, on-board diagnostics, and field-upgradeable firmware enhancements, and the Gen2 head end remains backwards compatible with existing RC5-CE camera modules. For BYOD soft-codec applications, the head end can be paired with the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/sound-control-technologies-rc-sda5-remotecam5-byod-camera-bridge\"\u003eRC-SDA5+ BYOD camera bridge\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrestron 1Beyond Camera Support\u003c\/strong\u003e — Purpose-built cable set for the Crestron 1Beyond IV-CAMPTZ-12, IV-CAMPTZ-20, and Lumens CL511 PTZ cameras.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-CAT Extension up to 100m\u003c\/strong\u003e — HDMI video, IP\/Ethernet control, and 12V DC camera power travel over one CAT cable run up to 100 meters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo Programming Required\u003c\/strong\u003e — SCTLink transport passes video and control transparently for plug-and-play installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e12V Camera Power Delivery\u003c\/strong\u003e — The included WPS-12 supply powers the camera through the link, removing the need for an outlet at the camera location.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRC5 Gen2 Platform\u003c\/strong\u003e — Adds Cisco Control Hub integration, diagnostics, and field-upgradeable features; backwards compatible with RC5-CE modules.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete Kit\u003c\/strong\u003e — Ships with camera-end module, head-end module, camera and head-end cable set, and power supply.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBYOD Expandable\u003c\/strong\u003e — Pairs with the RC-SDA5+ bridge to add USB3 soft-codec connectivity to the same camera run.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoardroom or all-hands room with a Crestron 1Beyond camera mounted at the rear wall, far from the codec rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraining room or auditorium using 1Beyond Intelligent Video tracking cameras over existing CAT infrastructure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment space standardized on Crestron control and 1Beyond cameras requiring a single-cable camera run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse of worship with PTZ cameras positioned at distance for presenter capture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroadcast studio or production-style commercial meeting space integrating Lumens CL511 capture cameras\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel \/ SKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRC5-1BC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Family\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRemoteCam5 (RC5 Gen2) — HDMI + IP\/Ethernet Control + 12V Camera Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupported Cameras\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrestron 1Beyond IV-CAMPTZ-12, Crestron 1Beyond IV-CAMPTZ-20, Lumens CL511\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSignal Types Carried\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHDMI video, IP\/Ethernet camera control, 12V DC camera power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Extension Distance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 meters (328 ft) over a single CAT cable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlatform Features\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCisco Control Hub integration, diagnostics, field-upgradeable firmware (RC5 Gen2)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatibility Note\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRC5 Gen2 head end is backwards compatible with existing RC5-CE camera modules\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVendor Documentation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRC5-1BC Crestron 1Beyond \u0026amp; Lumens Application Guide; RC5 Data Sheet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEach\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich cameras does the RC5-1BC support?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RC5-1BC is tested and supported with the Crestron 1Beyond IV-CAMPTZ-12, Crestron 1Beyond IV-CAMPTZ-20, and Lumens CL511.
