Sound Control Technologies RC8-CQC-F3-K – Cisco Quad Camera Codec EQ Project Pack

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RC8-CQC-F3-K is a complete camera extension project pack for Cisco Codec EQ conference room deployments using the Cisco Quad Camera. Built on the RC8 Gen2 RemoteCam8 platform, this kit extends HDMI video, IP control, bidirectional audio with ARC (HDMI), and 12V QuadCam power over a single structured cable run. The RC8-CQC-F3-K bundles the RC8 Gen2 extension kit with both the RC-RCF3 Codec EQ rack shelf and the RC-CUBBY-CQC camera cubby unit, providing a turnkey installation solution for integrators.

Product Description

The RC8-CQC-F3-K is engineered specifically for Cisco Codec EQ rooms equipped with the Cisco Quad Camera PTZ system. The RC8 Gen2 head-end and camera-end modules work in tandem to carry HDMI, IP control, bidirectional audio (including HDMI ARC), and 12V camera power across a single structured cable — eliminating the need for multiple discrete cable runs to the camera location. The included RC-RCF3 rack shelf is purpose-built for the Cisco Codec EQ, providing clean rack integration at the head end. The RC-CUBBY-CQC provides a professional enclosure for the camera-end module, protecting equipment while delivering a clean finished look at the camera position. This project pack reduces field labor by pre-packaging all head-end and camera-end components needed for a complete Cisco Quad Camera extension installation. Signal integrity is maintained at commercial-grade standards across the supported cable run distances. The RC8 platform supports HDMI resolutions suitable for commercial conference rooms, and the IP control path enables full PTZ camera command passthrough to the codec. Recommended for AV integrators installing Cisco Codec EQ systems in boardrooms, executive conference rooms, or large commercial meeting spaces where the camera must be located away from the codec rack.

Frequently Asked Questions

What codec does the RC8-CQC-F3-K support?

The RC8-CQC-F3-K is configured for use with the Cisco Codec EQ and Cisco Quad Camera. The included RC-RCF3 rack shelf is purpose-built for Codec EQ integration.

What cable infrastructure is required?

The RC8 Gen2 platform uses structured CAT cable for signal extension. Consult the SCT installation documentation or contact Creation Networks for specific cable type and run-length specifications for your deployment.

Is the RC-CUBBY-CQC required, or can I use just the extension kit?

The RC-CUBBY-CQC is included in this project pack and provides the camera-end enclosure. If you need only the extension kit and rack shelf without the cubby, consider the RC8-CQC-F3 (without the -K suffix).

Does this kit carry power to the Cisco Quad Camera?

Yes. The RC8-CQC platform delivers 12V power to the Cisco Quad Camera over the same structured cable run, eliminating the need for a separate local power supply at the camera position.

What warranty coverage applies to this product?

Contact Creation Networks for current Sound Control Technologies warranty terms applicable to the RC8-CQC-F3-K.

Can this kit be used with other Cisco codecs?

This kit is specifically configured for the Cisco Codec EQ. For SX80/Plus/Pro EQ deployments, see the RC8-CQC-PA-K. For Crossview configurations, see the RC8-CQC-F2-K.
