Q: 1. Will this work to connect the Marshall VS-PTC-200 to the Marshall CV-605 SDI via RS232?

A: The Marshall Electronics CV620-CABLE-06 RJ-45 to 8-Pin RS-232 & D-Sub 9 Connector Adapter Cable could be used with the Marshall Electronics VS-PTC-200 Compact PTZ Camera Controller along with an Ethernet cable to connect to the Marshall Electronics CV605 Compact 3G-SDI/IP PTZ Camera with 5x Optical Zoom.

Q: 2. is the extender IP based? is it able to be fed through a switch in its own VLAN? or does it have to be a direct connection on both ends?

A: My assumption is that it would need to be a direct connection. I have not tried it on a vlan. Based on the information on their site, it would need to be directly connected, as it seems to encode the signal and send it over the copper to be decoded at the other end by the receiver.
