StudioStation • Installation Guide
The Extron StudioStationis an easy-to-use single button recording system, which allows users to create recordings with the
touch of a button. The system integrates the StudioStation100 Streaming Media Processor, a high denition recording and
streaming device, the RCP101 EU for remote recording controls, the IPL T PC1 for remote AC power, and the SMB 212 to
surface mount the RCP101 EU. The StudioStation100 records MP4, M4V and M4A les of full screen HDMI video channel with
mixed audio, and metadata. The StudioStationis ideal for installation beneath conference tables and in lecterns.
The StudioStation turns the power output of the IPL T PC1 (or optional IPL T PCS4) on and off when it is triggered by thumb drive
detection on the RCP101 EU. When the user inserts a properly formatted USB drive into the RCP101 EU, the AC power port
of the IPL T PC1 turns on to power up all the attached recording equipment such as the camera, studio lights, and microphone.
Conversely, when the USB thumb drive is removed from the RCP101 EU, the AC power port of the IPL T PC1 automatically
powers OFF the equipment.
Items included in StudioStation are:
• 1 StudioStation100 • 1 RCP101 EU • 1 Flex55 102 • (1) 15’ (4.5 m) USB Mini-B to USB type A cable
• 1 IPL T PC1 • 1 SMB 212 • 1 Blank plate • (1) 6’ (1.8 m) RJ-45 network crossover cable
NOTES:
• Throughout this guide, the IPL T PC1 refers to either the IPL T PC1 or IPL T PC1i.
• For full device conguration and operation details, see the StudioStation User Guide at www.extron.com or
StudioStation Help File.

ATTENTION:
• Do not connect any external power supplies until you have read the Attention notications in the Power Supply
section of the user guide for that device.
• Ne branchez pas de sources d’alimentation externes avant d’avoir lu les mises en garde dans la section
«PowerSupply» du guide utilisateur pour cet appareil.
7Connect the StudioStation100 LAN port to the IPL T PC1 LAN port (see figure 1 on page 1) using the included NETXC
M-M 6 foot (1.8 meter) RJ-45 network crossover cable to enable the IPL T PC1 to power on and off the connected recording
equipment such as the camera, studio lights, and microphone, when a USB drive is inserted into the RCP101 EU USB port.
• If the crossover cable is used, no further conguration is required.
• If a straight-through cable is used and the StudioStation and PC1 are connected through a network, follow these
conguration steps:
a. Congure the IP address of the IPL T PC1 via the embedded web page.
• If you do not know the IP address, use the IP Link Device Manger to discover it.
• The default IP address of the IPL is 192.168.254.254.
b. Assign an Admin password to the IPL T PC1 (optional).
c. From the StudioStation100 Web UI, on the StudioStation page, enter the IP address and the Admin password
(if required) of the IPL T PC1 and test the connection (see gure 4).
• In order to enter the Web UI of the StudioStation 100, you need the IP address of the StudioStation 100.
• The default IP address of the StudioStation 100 is 192.168.254.253
Figure 4. Test Connection on the StudioStation Page
8Connect the IEC power cable from the lights into the IEC Power outlet of the IPL T PC1 to automatically power the lights on
and off when a USB drive is inserted into the USB port on the RCP101 EU.
9Connect an optional HDMI display into the HDMI output to preview the recording.
¢Connect the provided IEC cables:
a. Into the IPLTPC1 and a power source.
b. Into the StudioStation100 and a power source.
c. Verify the front panel buttons and LCDs illuminate.
£Insert a USB drive into the USB port on the RCP101 EU.
a. The StudioStation100 detects the USB drive inserted into the RCP101 EU and sends a command to the IPLTPC1 to
turn on the power outlet.
NOTE: By default, the StudioStation100 records to the RCP101 EU USB drive.
b. The IPL T PC1 powers ON the attached recording devices.
NOTE: When the USB drive is removed from the RCP101 EU, the Studio Station 100 sends a command to turn OFF the
IPLTPC1 power output. All attached recording devices are powered OFF.
¤Configure the StudioStation 100 (optional). Configuration is only available when connected through a network.
a. Congure the metadata on the Metadata page (see gure 5) in the StudioStation100 Web UI.
