{"product_id":"rc5-apa","title":"Sound Control Technologies RC5-APA – HDMI Camera Extension for AVer Cameras","description":"\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sound Control Technologies RC5-APA is an HDMI camera extension kit for AVer professional cameras, carrying HDMI video, 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-APA supports the AVer CAM520 Pro Advanced, CAM520 Pro3, CAM550, CAM570, and the MD120UI, MD330U, and MD330UI medical-grade cameras. The complete kit installs without programming, making long AVer camera runs in conference rooms and specialty spaces a single-cable job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAVer conferencing cameras such as the CAM520 Pro Advanced and the 4K dual-lens CAM570 are common in mid-size and large meeting rooms, where the camera often needs to sit far from the codec or UC compute. The RC5-APA solves the distance problem with a camera-end RC5-CE module and a head-end RC5-HE module connected by one installer-supplied CAT run up to 100 meters (328 ft). The kit ships with AVer-matched HDMI, UTP, and PPC-003 DC power camera cables, head-end HDMI and UTP cables, and a WPS-12 power supply that powers the camera through the link — no outlet needed at the camera position. Support for the AVer MD120UI, MD330U, and MD330UI also makes the RC5-APA suitable for telehealth and medical observation installations using AVer's MD camera line. As an RC5 Gen2 kit, it adds Cisco Control Hub integration, diagnostics, and field-upgradeable firmware, and the head end remains backwards compatible with existing RC5-CE modules. Project packs add an RCM-UNI camera wall mount (-K), an RC-RK2 rack shelf (-S), or both (-KS).
