Sound Control Technologies RC8-CE – RemoteCam8 Camera-End Replacement Module

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RC8-CE is the camera-end replacement module for the RemoteCam8 extension system used with the Cisco Quad Camera. The RemoteCam8 platform carries camera power, dual HDMI video, Ethernet control, and dual-channel audio over a single CAT6 STP cable from 10m to 100m. This replacement module allows AV integrators and facilities managers to bring a failed RemoteCam8 installation back online by replacing only the camera-side module, leaving the head-end module and installed cabling untouched.

Product Description

In a RemoteCam8 system, the RC8-CE camera-end module mounts at the Cisco Quad Camera position — typically integrated into an RC-CUBBY on-wall mount — and links to the RC8-HE head-end module at the codec rack over the SCTLink CAT6 STP cable. The camera end accepts two independent HDMI inputs from the Quad Camera, provides a single 10/100 Ethernet port for camera control, offers 3.5mm TRS stereo audio in/out, and delivers camera power through its 4 Pin-DIN power output so no factory camera power supply is required. When a camera-end failure is diagnosed, replacing only the RC8-CE restores full system operation; the existing RC8-HE, WPS-48 power supply, and cabling stay in place. The module is a like-for-like replacement built to the original RemoteCam8 specification and pairs directly with the installed head-end module, maintaining firmware update pass-through from the codec to the camera.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the RC8-CE compatible with RemoteCam7 or RemoteCam6 systems?

No. The RC8-CE is the camera-end replacement specifically for RemoteCam8 systems. Other RemoteCam platforms require their own CE modules; they are not interchangeable.

How do I know whether I need the RC8-CE or the RC8-HE?

The RC8-CE is the camera-side module at the Cisco Quad Camera; the RC8-HE is the rack-side module at the codec. If the fault is at the rack, you need the RC8-HE. Contact Creation Networks for diagnostic support.

Will the RC8-CE pair with my existing RC8-HE?

Yes. The RC8-CE is a like-for-like replacement that pairs directly with the installed RC8-HE head-end module over your existing CAT6 STP SCTLink cable.

Does the RC8-CE power the Cisco Quad Camera?

Yes. Power is delivered over the SCTLink from the head end, and the RC8-CE feeds the camera through its 4 Pin-DIN power output, so no factory camera power supply is needed at the camera position.

What warranty applies to this replacement module?

Sound Control Technologies provides a 3-year standard advance replacement limited warranty. Contact Creation Networks for current warranty terms.
