Sound Control Technologies RC4-HE – RemoteCam4 Head-End Replacement Module

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RC4-HE is the head-end replacement module for the RemoteCam4 camera extension platform. RemoteCam4 delivers HDMI video, RS-232 control, and camera power over a single CAT cable up to 100 meters between the codec rack and a PTZ camera. This replacement module lets AV integrators and facilities managers restore a failed RemoteCam4 installation by swapping only the rack-side head-end module, keeping the camera-end module and installed cabling in place.

Product Description

In a RemoteCam4 system, the head-end module sits in the equipment rack near the codec and links to the RC4-CE camera-end module over the SCTLink CAT cable. The platform supports Cisco PrecisionHD and Precision series cameras, Poly EagleEye models, Panasonic, AVer, ClearOne, Crestron 1Beyond, and other professional PTZ cameras depending on kit configuration, carrying HDMI video, RS-232 serial control, and camera power on the single link. When troubleshooting isolates a fault to the rack side, replacing only the RC4-HE restores full system operation without disturbing the camera-end module, camera cabling, or the field-run CAT link. The module is a like-for-like replacement built to the original RemoteCam4 specification and pairs directly with the installed camera-end electronics. It mounts on the SCT rack shelf supplied with RemoteCam4 kits for proper ventilation and cable management, making the swap a quick rack-side service task that protects the original installation investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the RC4-HE compatible with other RemoteCam platforms?

No. The RC4-HE is the head-end replacement specifically for RemoteCam4 systems. RemoteCam5, RemoteCam6, and RemoteCam8 require their own HE modules; the platforms are not interchangeable.

How do I know whether I need the RC4-HE or the RC4-CE?

The RC4-HE is the rack-side (codec end) module; the RC4-CE is the camera-side module. If the fault is at the camera location, you need the RC4-CE. Contact Creation Networks for diagnostic support.

Will the RC4-HE pair with my existing camera-end module and cabling?

Yes. It is a like-for-like replacement that pairs directly with the installed RC4-CE over your existing CAT link cable.

Does the RC4-HE include a power supply?

No. The replacement module reuses the power supply from your existing RemoteCam4 kit. Contact Creation Networks if you also need a replacement power supply.

What warranty applies to this replacement module?

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