The Extron StudioStation is an easy-to-use single button recording system, which allows users to create recordings at a touch of a button. The system integrates the StudioStation 100 Streaming Media Processor, a high definition recording and streaming device, with the RCP 101 for remote recording controls, the IPL T PC1 for remote AC power, and the SMB 212 to surface mount the RCP 101. The StudioStation 100 records MP4, M4V and M4A files 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 can turn on and off the power output of the IPL T PC1 (or optional IPL T PCS4) when it is triggered by thumb drive detection on the RCP 101. When the user inserts a properly formatted USB drive into the RCP 101, 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, 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 • 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
NOTE: For full device configuration and operation details, see the StudioStation User Guide or StudioStation Help File at www.extron.com
