{"product_id":"replacement-module-17","title":"Sound Control Technologies RC8-HE – RemoteCam8 Head-End Replacement Module","description":"\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sound Control Technologies RC8-HE is the head-end replacement module for the RemoteCam8 camera extension system used with the Cisco Quad Camera. The RemoteCam8 platform extends power, dual HDMI video, Ethernet control, and dual-channel audio over a single CAT6 STP cable from 10m to 100m between the codec rack and the camera. This replacement module lets AV integrators and facilities managers restore a failed RemoteCam8 installation by swapping only the rack-side head-end module, without replacing the camera-end module or the installed cabling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a RemoteCam8 system, the RC8-HE head-end module sits in the equipment rack near the Cisco SX80, Codec Plus, or Codec Pro codec and links to the RC8-CE camera-end module at the Cisco Quad Camera over the SCTLink CAT6 STP cable. The head end provides two sets of independent 1x2 distribution-amplified HDMI outputs, a 10\/100 two-port Layer 2 Ethernet switch for control expansion, and a selectable ARC\/analog audio input that sends audio to the Cisco Quad Camera speaker over the existing HDMI channel. When a head-end failure is diagnosed, replacing only the RC8-HE restores full system operation while the existing RC8-CE, 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 camera-end module. It mounts on the RC-RKM 2RU rack shelf included with RemoteCam8 kits for proper ventilation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRemoteCam8-Specific Replacement\u003c\/strong\u003e — Drop-in head-end module for RemoteCam8 Cisco Quad Camera extension systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eField-Replaceable\u003c\/strong\u003e — Restores a failed system without replacing the camera-end module, power supply, or installed CAT6 cabling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual HDMI Distribution Outputs\u003c\/strong\u003e — Provides two sets of independent 1x2 DA HDMI outputs at up to 1920x1080p60 with HDCP support.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-Port Ethernet Switch\u003c\/strong\u003e — Built-in 10\/100 Layer 2 switch supports control expansion at the rack.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eARC\/Analog Audio Input\u003c\/strong\u003e — 3.5mm TRS stereo input sends audio to the Cisco Quad Camera speaker via the existing HDMI channel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRack-Mount Ready\u003c\/strong\u003e — Mounts on the RC-RKM 2RU rack shelf for proper ventilation and clean cabling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirmware Pass-Through\u003c\/strong\u003e — Maintains manufacturer firmware update pass-through from codec to camera.\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\u003eAll-hands room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-purpose room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment space\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\u003eRC8-HE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModule Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHead-End Replacement Module (rack\/codec side)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRemoteCam8 (Cisco Quad Camera with SX80, Codec Plus, Codec Pro)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHDMI Outputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo sets of independent 1x2 DA HDMI outputs, up to 1920x1080p@60Hz, HDCP support\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEthernet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10\/100 Two-Port Layer 2 Ethernet Switch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAudio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eARC\/Analog audio in, 3.5mm TRS, stereo line level unbalanced\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLink Cable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCAT6 STP (SCTLink), 10m–100m, T568A\/T568B\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH 1.34\" x W 9.04\" x D 5.32\" (34 x 229 x 135 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.2 lbs \/ 544 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-Year Standard Advance Replacement (2-Year extension available)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the RC8-HE compatible with other RemoteCam platforms?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The RC8-HE is the head-end replacement specifically for RemoteCam8 systems.
