{"product_id":"rc5-usm","title":"Sound Control Technologies RC5-USM – HDMI Camera Extension for Multiple Manufacturers","description":"\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sound Control Technologies RC5-USM is a multi-manufacturer HDMI camera extension kit that carries 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-USM supports PTZ cameras from AVer, Sony, Atlona, Lumens, and VHD — including the full AVer PTZ and TR tracking camera lines. It is the kit of choice for AV integrators who need one extension solution across mixed AVer-heavy camera deployments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RC5-USM addresses installations where the camera must sit far beyond native HDMI reach — rear walls, ceiling positions, or across large rooms — while the codec or processor lives in a rack. A camera-end RC5-CE module and head-end RC5-HE module connect over one installer-supplied CAT run up to 100 meters (328 ft), carrying video, Ethernet control, and camera power together. Supported cameras include the Sony SRG-X40UH, Atlona HDVS-CAM-HDMI, Lumens VC-TR40, VHD V60XL\/V61XL\/V63XL, and an extensive AVer list: PTZ211, PTZ231, PTC300, PTC310UV2, PTC320UV2, TR311HN, PTZ313, PTZ313V2, PTZ310, PTZ310UV2, PTZ310UNV2, PTZ330, PTZ330UV2, PTZ330UNV2, TR311HWV2, TR313V2, TR323NV2, TR333NV2, and TR335. The kit includes HDMI and UTP camera cables, the PPC-004 DC power cable, head-end HDMI and UTP cables, and a WPS-12 power supply. As an RC5 Gen2 product it provides Cisco Control Hub integration, diagnostics, and field-upgradeable firmware. Project packs add an RCM-USM camera wall mount (-K), an RC-RK2 rack shelf (-S), or both (-KS).

The RC5-USM covers AVer PTZ\/TR-series, Sony SRG-X40UH, Atlona, Lumens VC-TR40, and VHD XL-series cameras. Check the compatibility list for each SKU or contact Creation Networks before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the CAT cable included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The CAT run between the camera-end and head-end modules is installer-supplied.
