{"product_id":"rc5-hst","title":"Sound Control Technologies RC5-HST – RemoteCam5 Extension for HuddleCamHD SimplTrack","description":"\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sound Control Technologies RC5-HST is a commercial-grade RemoteCam5 camera extension kit for the HuddleCamHD SimplTrack Lite auto-tracking camera. Using SCTLink™ technology, the RC5-HST carries HDMI video at 4K30 up to 70 meters or 1080p60 up to 100 meters over a single CAT cable, with PTZ control and 12V camera power on the same run. The kit includes RC5-CE and RC5-HE modules with a SimplTrack-specific cable set, and no programming is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RC5-HST solves the distance limitation between the HuddleCamHD SimplTrack Lite and the codec, recorder, or display chain in lecture-capture and conferencing installations. The RC5-CE camera interface module installs at the camera position and the RC5-HE head-end module installs at the rack; a single installer-supplied CAT cable between them carries HDMI video, control, and 12V power. Because the SimplTrack Lite performs presenter tracking on board, full tracking functionality is preserved at any extension distance, and control passes through for preset and PTZ commands. This makes the RC5-HST well suited to training rooms, lecture halls, and houses of worship where the tracking camera mounts on a rear or side wall far from the equipment rack.

The RC5-HST is built on the RemoteCam5 platform with 4K30 video support, while the RC4-HST carries HDMI with RS-232 control on the RemoteCam4 platform.
