Sound Control Technologies RC5+ – RemoteCam5+ 4K60 Camera Extension Platform

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RC5+ is the RemoteCam5+ camera extension platform, carrying 66W PoE++ power, uncompressed 4K60 4:4:4 HDMI video, and IP/Ethernet camera control over a single CAT cable up to 100 meters. It is built for broadcast-quality production, live event, and high-end collaboration PTZ camera installations where the camera must be located far from the codec or production system. The platform pairs an RC5+ HE head-end module in the equipment rack with an RC5+ CE camera-end module at the camera position.

Product Description

The RC5+ platform uses Sound Control Technologies' SCTLink technology to consolidate video, power, and control onto one integrator-supplied CAT cable between 10m and 100m. The head end injects 66W PoE++ class power down the link, so the camera and camera-end module operate without a factory power supply or electrical outlet at the camera location. Video travels as uncompressed 4K60 4:4:4 HDMI, preserving full image quality for broadcast studios, auditoriums, and premium conference rooms. IP/Ethernet pass-through carries camera control, streaming, and manufacturer firmware updates from the codec or control system. Installation is plug and play with no programming, and camera-specific kits such as the RC5+UNI include all hardware-specific HDMI and UTP connection cables plus the WPS-48 power supply. Supported cameras include the Cisco Room Vision PTZ and PTZ 4K, Sony BRC and SRG series, Panasonic AW series, Canon CR-N series, Lumens, AVer, and PTZOptics models. Contact Creation Networks to configure the correct RC5+ kit for your camera and codec.
