Built on the RemoteCam5 (RC5 Gen2) platform with SCTLink technology, the RC5-UNI supports the broadest camera list in the RC5 family — models from AVer, Barco, BirdDog, Cisco, Laia, Lumens, Marshall, Minrray, PTZOptics, QSC, and Sony. No programming is required, making it the universal extension choice for mixed-brand conference room and commercial AV deployments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RC5-UNI exists for AV integrators and system designers who want one extension platform across many camera brands. A camera-end RC5-CE module and head-end RC5-HE module connect over one installer-supplied CAT run up to 100 meters (328 ft), carrying video, Ethernet control, and camera power on the same cable. The tested camera list includes the AVer PTC500+ and TR530, Barco ClickShare Bar Core, BirdDog X1, X1 30x, X1 Ultra, X4 Ultra, and X5 Ultra, Cisco PTZ-12, Laia C-Pro 12X AI, Lumens VC-A50PN\/VC-A50P\/VC-A71P\/VC-A61P\/VC-TA50, Marshall CV630 and CV730, Minrray UV401A and UV540, PTZOptics PT12X\/PT20X\/PT30X-SDI and PT12X\/PT20X-USB, QSC Q-SYS NC-12x80, NC20x60, PTZ 12x72, and PTZ 20x60, and Sony BRC-X400, SRG-120DH, SRG-300H, SRG-360SHE, SRG-X120, and SRG-X400. The kit ships with HDMI and UTP camera cables, the PPC-004 DC power cable, head-end HDMI and UTP cables, and a WPS-12 power supply. As an RC5 Gen2 kit it provides Cisco Control Hub integration, diagnostics, and field-upgradeable firmware, and remains backwards compatible with existing RC5-CE modules. Project packs add an RCM-UNI camera wall mount (-K), an RC-RK2 rack shelf (-S), or both (-KS).

The RC5-UNI carries the broadest list, covering Sony SRG\/BRC, BirdDog, PTZOptics, QSC Q-SYS, Lumens, Marshall, Minrray, Cisco PTZ-12, and more. Check the compatibility list for each SKU before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the CAT cable included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The CAT run between the camera-end and head-end modules is supplied by the installer. CAT5e or better is recommended; the maximum run is 100 meters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the kit power the camera?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The included WPS-12 power supply delivers 12V DC to the camera through the SCTLink connection, so no electrical outlet is needed at the camera position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the RC5 Gen2 compatible with my existing RC5 modules?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The RC5 Gen2 replaces the original RC5 and the head end is backwards compatible with existing RC5-CE camera modules.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I add BYOD soft-codec capability?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Pair the RC5-CE camera module with the RC-SDA5+ BYOD camera bridge to convert the camera to USB3 for Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and other soft-codec platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat warranty and support terms apply?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eContact Creation Networks for current Sound Control Technologies warranty terms and support options for this product.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sound Control Technologies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44891957133548,"sku":"RC5-UNI","price":2445.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/sound-control-technologies-rc5-uni-remotecam5tm-hdmi-ip-control-12v-camera-power-creation-networks-59980.jpg?v=1757948536","url":"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/sound-control-technologies-rc5-uni-remotecam5%e2%84%a2-hdmi-ip-control-12v-camera-power","provider":"Creation Networks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
