{"product_id":"replacement-module-9","title":"Sound Control Technologies RC5-HE – RemoteCam5 Head-End Replacement Module","description":"\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sound Control Technologies RC5-HE is the head-end replacement module for the RemoteCam5 camera extension platform. RemoteCam5 Gen2 delivers 4K30 HDMI video, Ethernet, 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 RemoteCam5 installation by swapping only the rack-side head-end module, keeping the camera-end module and installed cabling in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a RemoteCam5 system, the head-end module sits in the equipment rack near the codec and links to the RC5-CE camera-end module over the SCTLink CAT cable. The platform supports Cisco, Poly, Panasonic, Sony, and other professional PTZ cameras depending on kit configuration, carrying HDMI video up to 4K30, Ethernet for control and Cisco Control Hub integration, and camera power on the single link. When troubleshooting isolates a fault to the rack side, replacing only the RC5-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 RemoteCam5 specification and pairs directly with the installed camera-end electronics. It mounts on the SCT rack shelf supplied with RemoteCam5 kits for proper ventilation and cable management, making the swap a quick rack-side service task rather than a full system replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRemoteCam5-Specific Replacement\u003c\/strong\u003e — Drop-in head-end module for RemoteCam5 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 CAT cabling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4K30 Video Path\u003c\/strong\u003e — Maintains the platform's HDMI video transport up to 4K@30 over the SCTLink connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEthernet and Control Support\u003c\/strong\u003e — Preserves Ethernet transport and camera control, including Cisco Control Hub integration on Gen2 systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRack-Side Installation\u003c\/strong\u003e — Mounts at the codec rack on the SCT rack shelf for clean service access.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLike-for-Like Pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e — Pairs directly with the existing RC5-CE camera-end module over the installed link cable.\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\u003eTraining 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\u003eRC5-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\u003eRemoteCam5 camera extension platform\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVideo Transport\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHDMI up to 4K@30 over SCTLink\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControl\/Network\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEthernet and camera control transport; Cisco Control Hub integration (Gen2)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLink Cable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle CAT cable up to 100m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePairs With\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRC5-CE camera-end module\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSCT standard advance replacement limited warranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the RC5-HE compatible with other RemoteCam platforms?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The RC5-HE is the head-end replacement specifically for RemoteCam5 systems.
