This universal fiber camera extender carries HDMI video, Ethernet control, serial VISCA loop, 12V power output, ARC\/analog audio I\/O, and an HDMI distribution amp over fiber up to 300 meters. The RCF1-UNI is the appropriate choice for installations involving Sony PTZ cameras or other VISCA-compatible cameras where a purpose-specific RCF1 variant is not available, providing a single-fiber infrastructure for all signal types. It is suited for conference rooms, boardrooms, and commercial spaces where extended camera placement from the codec is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RCF1-UNI consists of a transmitter module at the camera end and a receiver module at the codec end, with all signals transported over fiber. HDMI video from a Sony or compatible PTZ camera transits the fiber with signal integrity at distances up to 300 meters. Ethernet control allows IP-based camera management and control to pass over the fiber link without a separate network drop at the camera. The serial VISCA loop enables PTZ camera control over VISCA for integration with third-party control systems, which is common in Sony PTZ deployments. A 12V power output on the receiver module can supply compatible cameras directly. ARC and analog audio I\/O allow audio return and analog signals to share the fiber run. The built-in HDMI distribution amp on the receiver drives a primary codec input plus a secondary display simultaneously. The RCF1-UNI is suited for integrators who need a flexible, VISCA-centric fiber extender for Sony and compatible cameras in commercial AV installations. Manufactured in USA\/Taiwan. Sold as each unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUniversal PTZ Camera Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — Designed for Sony cameras and other VISCA-compatible PTZ models where a camera-specific RCF1 variant is not available.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFiber HDMI Transport\u003c\/strong\u003e — Carries HDMI video over fiber with signal integrity up to 300 meters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e300-Meter Range\u003c\/strong\u003e — Supports camera placement up to 300 meters from the codec for centralized equipment room deployments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEthernet Control Pass-Through\u003c\/strong\u003e — IP-based camera management transits fiber without a separate network connection at the camera end.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSerial VISCA Loop\u003c\/strong\u003e — VISCA PTZ control support, particularly relevant for Sony and compatible camera control systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e12V Camera Power Output\u003c\/strong\u003e — Powers compatible cameras directly from the receiver module.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eARC \/ Analog Audio I\/O\u003c\/strong\u003e — Audio return and analog signals share the fiber infrastructure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHDMI Distribution Amp\u003c\/strong\u003e — On-board amp drives primary and secondary video outputs from the receiver.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoardroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConference room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-hands room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroadcast studio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse of worship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-purpose room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel \/ SKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRCF1-UNI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Cameras\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSony and VISCA-compatible PTZ cameras\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSignal Transport\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHDMI Video, Ethernet Control, Serial VISCA Loop, 12V Power Output, ARC\/Analog Audio I\/O, HDMI Distribution Amp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Distance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e300 meters (fiber)\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\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA\/Taiwan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMSRP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$4,510\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich cameras is the RCF1-UNI compatible with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RCF1-UNI is designed for Sony cameras and other VISCA-compatible PTZ models.
