RemoteCam5™ Project Pack >> Extension Kit + RC-RK2

Sound Control Technologies RemoteCam5 (RC5), a kit for extending a conferencing camera controlled over IP. A single CAT5e, CAT6 or CAT6A cable carries HDMI video up to 4K at 30 Hz, full Ethernet to the camera and 12 V power.

Key features

• A single CAT5e, CAT6 or CAT6A cable carries the video, the camera control and the camera power

• HDMI video up to 4K at 30 Hz with HDCP support up to version 2.2

• Camera control over IP, the RC5-HE module is also a two-port 10/100 layer 2 switch, the RC5-CE module has a single 10/100 port

• Distance of 100 metres for 4K30 over CAT6A, 70 metres for 4K30 over CAT5e and CAT6, 100 metres for 1080p60

• 12 V camera power, 3.5 A maximum, from the WPS-12 supply in the kit, system draw 7.5 W plus the camera

• The box holds the cable set for the specific camera and codec and the PowerSniffer wiring tester

Strengths and limits

Which room it suits

The “Verify” and “Consider another range” cards come from the experience of the atlantis team.

Which camera and codec

The suffix in the order code sets which camera and codec the kit is cabled for. The electronics are the same in every RC5 kit; RC5+UNI is a different generation.

The camera list for the RC5-UNI. Sony SRG-300H, SRG-360SHE, SRG-X120, BRC-X400 and SRG-120DH; Minrray UV401A, UV540-05-HDMI and UV540-10-HDMI; PTZ Optics PT30X-SDI, PT12X-SDI and PT20X-SDI; QSC Q-SYS PTZ 12x72 and PTZ 20x60; VDO360 Saber20XNDI; Lumens VC-A71P, VC-A61P, VC-A50PN and VC-A50P; Marshall CV630 and CV730; AVer TR320 and TR530.

If you do not see the customer's camera in the table, send us its exact designation and we will verify the variant. Where the table says “we will confirm the mapping”, we will confirm the camera mapping on the RC5 range before ordering. We will also confirm the mapping of mounts to the -K and -KS variants for the specific camera.

Variants and the product range

What to check before ordering and deploying

1. Camera and codec: the exact models on both ends, they decide the suffix of the order code

2. Control method: RC5 carries control over IP; a camera with serial control belongs to the RC4 range

3. Resolution and cable category: 4K30 at 100 metres requires CAT6A, over CAT5e and CAT6 the limit is 70 metres

4. Length of the run: minimum 10 metres, maximum 100 metres, a point to point link without joints, the cable supplied by the integrator

5. Network: the camera stays on the network through the switch in the RC5-HE module, so check the addressing and the network rules for room devices

6. Mounting and rack: an RCM mount on the -K and -KS variants, the RC-RK2 shelf on the -S and -KS variants

7. BYOD: whether the camera should also serve a laptop over USB 3.0, in which case an RC-SDA5+ kit instead of RC5

8. Warranty: the extension to 5 years has the code RC5-5Y, order it with the kit

The atlantis team will help with every point. On RC5 the usual sticking points are confusing it with the RC4 range over the control method, and confusing the RC5+UNI kit with an ordinary RC5 kit. We will go through both with you before the order, together with the mapping of codes to cameras.

Management and services

• No cloud management: These products have no central or cloud management. Passive kits and cabling need no configuration at all, active modules are set with DIP switches on the module itself.

• Firmware on active modules: on modules that allow a firmware update, it is loaded from a microSD card directly into the module. The procedure differs by range, so check it with us for the specific kit.

atlantis services for partners

atlantis is a direct importer and distributor, and we supply through a network of specialist partners. The services below are therefore offered to the partner, not to the end customer. The partner sets the scope. On one project we are only the source of the parts and a consultation, on another we design the whole run and oversee the work, on a third we take on the installation in full.

• Choosing the kit by camera and distance: we pick the kit from the camera or codec the customer already has, how far it sits from the equipment and which interface is used, that is HDMI, USB or fibre. We also say what to do about a device that is not on the compatibility list.

• Route design and building readiness: we go through the cable run with the partner, the category and length of the cabling, the number and position of the boxes, the wall penetration and the space in the rack. On in-wall mounts the opening size and cavity depth are what matters, and we settle those before the order, not on site.

• Completing the order: we match the kit with the right cables, power supply and mount, because that is exactly where jobs are left unfinished. We check that the pieces fit each other by connector and by length, and that nothing the partner needs on day one is missing from the delivery.

• Installation and commissioning: we handle the professional installation in full, or support the partner's own team where needed. Once it is wired we test the link at full distance, that is picture, camera control and power, before the ceiling is closed.

• Integration with the customer's environment: we advise on connecting to the codec, to the control system and to third-party software and hardware, and on how the kit behaves when the camera is swapped for a different model.

• Service, spare parts and warranty: our certified team in Czech, available to the partner throughout the equipment's life. We keep track of the replacement modules and parts by range and handle a warranty claim with the manufacturer on the partner's behalf.

Warranty

The standard warranty on Sound Control Technologies products is 3 years from the sale to the first purchaser, uniformly across the range. It applies equally to modules, cables, mounts and power supplies.

Extended warranty order code. For the RC5 platform the extension to 5 years in total has the code RC5-5Y. Order it with the kit; we will confirm with your order whether it can be bought later. For the RC5+UNI kit, that is the higher RC5+ generation, we will confirm the cover before ordering.
