StudioStation 100 • Introduction 7

Features

Output and share recordings

Recording files can be saved in the StudioStation 100 internal memory and on an optional connected USB drive. Recordings stored internally (not on a USB drive) can also be automatically uploaded to a network server folder.

NOTES:

• When integrated with Opencast or Kaltura, recordings are automatically uploaded to the server location defined.

• To upload recordings for other scheduling or integration methods, specify a publishing destination during system setup (FTP, SFTP, or CIFS/Windows Net Share server folder).

Uploading recordings to a server allows you to archive or share files with others who are authorized to access that folder or to use tools such as Opencast.

•

Opencast

is a tightly-integrated end-to-end software solution that facilitates the capture, management, and playback of media files from meetings, lectures, and other live events. Current, previously recorded, or archived media files can be added to Opencast, making everything accessible from a single point. Opencast ensures recordings with metadata are packaged for playback within the player environment.

Do not tin the wires!

ATTENTION:

•

Do not tin the wires. Tinned wires are not as secure in the captive screw connector and could pull out.

• Ne pas étamer les câbles. Les câbles étamés ne sont pas aussi bien fixés dans les connecteurs des à vis captives et pourraient sortir.

• The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is important. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm). If longer, the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. If shorter, the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.

• La longueur des câbles exposés est importante lorsque l’on entreprend de les dénuder. La longueur idéale est de 5 mm (3/16 inches). S’ils sont un peu plus longs, les câbles exposés pourraient se toucher et provoquer un court circuit.

S’ils sont un peu plus courts, ils pourraient sortir, même s’ils sont attachés par les vis captives.

Output Connection

HDMI output

— Connect an HDMI (or DVI with suitable adapter) display device to the HDMI output connector. The preview output switches between the record preview content and the internal browser when using an attached USB keyboard and mouse.

The input format passes unchanged.

A 4x3 format (represented by the red block on the left) remains at its original aspect ratio. The vertical dimension fills, but not the horizontal dimension of the output or recording.

Letter box or pillar bars can be applied based on the horizontal and vertical size settings.

The input format is zoomed to fill the output with top and bottom or left and right information cropped out in order to fit the screen without letter boxing or adding pillars. Some loss of image occurs, represented by the dimmed image outside the red box.

Universal OSD

— This pattern consists of white text overlaid atop the source video content. By default, it appears in the upper left corner of the screen. The location of the universal OSD is dependant on the position selected for the metadata OSD. The text includes brief custom text followed by three selectable elements separated by commas. The options for those elements are listed in (see

The universal OSD pattern can be displayed together with the main AV content because it overlays the video rather than replacing it. The universal OSD pattern can be used at any time, not just during setup. It can also serve as an on screen label for presentations, in addition to metadata labels (see

NOTE: You may need to log in to the

Extron website

using your Extron Insider account information in order to download the software.

See the

StudioStation 100 Embedded Web Pages Help File

to upload a FlexOS application.

File Management

The

File Management

page contains a directory of files stored in the StudioStation 100 and also of any connected shared drives on the network, and a file upload utility so new files can be added to the StudioStation 100. It also provides a way to connect the StudioStation 100 to shared network drives and lists the URL to use to upload or download files from the

StudioStation 100 through an SFTP client.

Within the file directory, many files or folders can be deleted, renamed, or locked.

Those logged in at the user level do not have access to the File Management page. Users logged into the StudioStation 100 with administrator privileges can see and make changes.

Figure 57. File Management Page

The storage information table (

) in the lower right of the

File Management

page (also displayed in the middle of the

Device Status

page) displays the names of the available connected storage devices, their locations (internal, USB front panel port, USB rear panel port, RCP USB), total capacity, and amount of used and available storage space. It also provides an estimate of remaining recording time for each drive. If a USB drive has more than one volume, the volumes are listed in the table.

Figure 58. Storage Information Table

This list can be sorted. Click on any of the table headings or click the arrow that appears when the pointer is hovered over a table heading and select a sort order from the dropdown list.

See the

StudioStation 100 Embedded Web Pages Help File

for information on using the file manager.

NOTE: Recordings stored on the internal drive can be automatically uploaded to a network server (configured in

Recorded Events > Publish Settings

). If internal storage space is nearly full and the StudioStation 100 is set up to automatically upload recordings to a server, the StudioStation 100 uses a disk cleanup feature to make room for new recordings. As needed, the unit automatically deletes old recordings that have already been uploaded to a server, starting with the oldest recordings, until there is enough free space on the SD card. If a recording is locked, it will not be automatically deleted.

StudioStation 100 • Web-Based User Interface 56

Add a Network Share

Network servers or network-attached storage drives (network shares) can be added to the file list so the StudioStation 100 can access files and folders stored on shared network resources.

See the

StudioStation 100 Embedded Web Pages Help File

to add a network share using the Web-Based UI.

NOTE: The size of network shares is initially unknown and there can be significant performance issues if the entire contents of every network share is indexed on every filter or search request. To provide the best performance with available resources, the searches and filtering for network shares is limited to the layer immediately below the level that the user manually expands. If the user fully expands the share, then it is fully indexed, searched, and filtered.

Upload and Download Files Using an SFTP Client

NOTE: Recordings can be downloaded from SFTP client but recordings

cannot

be deleted from client (see the Delete Recordings section of the

StudioStation Help File

for instructions to delete a file).

Automatic file uploading to a network location (see

Publish Settings

on page 32), the

recording re-transfer (re-upload) option within the

Recording Calendar

page, and the file upload option with this

File Management

page satisfy most file transfer needs. However, if there is a need to transfer files into or out of the StudioStation 100 outside of those controls, use an SFTP client utility.

To use an SFTP client utility to transfer files:

Click the

File Management

tab.

Copy the URL from the Accessing Internal Filesystem pane. The URL includes the SFTP protocol name (sftp), the address of the StudioStation 100, and also the logical port number (default: 22022 ) of the LAN port. For example, sftp://192.168.194.28:22022 .

Open an SFTP client program of your choice.

Paste the URL from the StudioStation 100 into the host name or host address field of the SFTP client program. If necessary, delete sftp

from the URL, select SFTP from a different field or menu, remove the port number from the URL, and paste it into a port number field.

If an administrator password is set for the unit, enter the username and password in the appropriate fields in the SFTP client.

Log into or connect to the StudioStation 100.

Use the SFTP client software to copy files (recordings, images, and logs) to and from the internal storage folders on the StudioStation 100.

Disconnect from the StudioStation 100 (close the SFTP session).

StudioStation 100 • Remote Communication and Control 66

Ethernet (LAN) Port

The rear panel LAN connector on the device can be connected to an Ethernet LAN or

WAN. Communication between the device and the control system or PC is via Telnet (a TCP socket using port 23). The Telnet port can be changed, if necessary, via SIS or using the

StudioStation 100 user interface. This connection makes SIS control of the device possible using a control system or PC connected to the same LAN or WAN. The SIS commands and behavior of the product are common to the commands and behavior the product exhibits when communicating by serial port or USB.

Connection Timeouts

The Ethernet link times out after a designated period of time with no communication. By default, this timeout value is 5 minutes, but the value can be changed (see

Set current port timeout

on page 79).

NOTE: Extron recommends leaving the default timeout at 5 minutes and periodically issuing the Query (

) command to keep the connection active. If there are long idle periods, disconnect the socket and reopen the connection when another command must be sent.

Verbose Mode

Telnet connections can be used to monitor for changes that occur, such as SIS commands from other Telnet sockets or serial port changes. For a Telnet session to receive change notices, the Telnet session must be in verbose mode 1 or 3. In verbose mode 1 or 3, the

Telnet socket reports changes in messages that resemble SIS command responses.

Host-to-device Communications

The StudioStation 100 accepts SIS commands through the rear panel Remote RS‑232 port, the front panel Config port, and the rear panel Ethernet (LAN) port. SIS commands consist of one or more characters per command field. They do not require special characters to begin or end the command character sequence. Each response to an SIS command ends with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF =

]

), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.

StudioStation 100 - Initiated Messages

The StudioStation 100 initiates messages under specific conditions. No response is required from the host. The StudioStation 100 initiated message is as follows:

]

n.nn

, 60‑1720‑01

]

Day, DD MMM YYYY HH:MM:SS

]

The StudioStation 100 sends the copyright messages under the following circumstances:

• If the StudioStation 100 is off and an RS‑232 connection is already set up (the PC is cabled to the StudioStation 100 and a serial communication program such as

DataViewer is open), the connected unit sends these messages via RS‑232 when first powered on.

• If the StudioStation 100 is on, it sends the copyright message when a Telnet connection to the StudioStation 100 is first opened. The day of the week, date, and time are shown when the StudioStation 100 is connected via Telnet, but not via RS‑232. If using a Telnet connection, the copyright message, date, and time may be followed by a password prompt.

StudioStation 100 • Remote Communication and Control 68

Password Information

UL Rack Mounting Guidelines

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the safe installation of the

StudioStation 100 in a rack.

1. Elevated operating ambient temperature

— If installed in a closed or multi‑unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment can be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the unit in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma = +122°F, +50°C) specified by Extron.

2. Reduced air flow

— Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

3. Mechanical loading

— Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

4. Circuit overloading

— Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.

Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

5. Reliable earthing (grounding)

— Maintain reliable grounding of rack‑mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).

What is an IP Address?

A full explanation of IP addressing is beyond the scope of this user guide. However, the following information is enough to get started.

An IP address is a 32‑bit binary number that is used to identify each device on an Ethernet network. This number is usually represented by four decimal numbers (each in the range 0 to 255) separated by dots, (for example, 198.123.34.240

). This is called

"dotted decimal notation".

An IP address is divided into two parts:

• The network identifier

•

The host identifier

On a given network, each address must have the same network identifier value, but have a unique host identifier. There are, therefore, different classes of addresses that define:

• The range of valid addresses.

• The parts of the address used to identify the network and host.

The most common IP address classes are:

Class Valid Address Range

Class A 0.0.0.1

127.255.255.254

Class B

128.0.0.1

through

191.255.255.254

Class C

192.0.0.1

through

223.255.255.254

Identifier Arrangement

NNN.HHH.HHH.HHH

NNN.NNN.HHH.HHH

NNN.NNN.NNN.HHH

NOTES:

•

NNN

= Network identifier

•

HHH

= Host identifier

StudioStation 100 • Reference Information 94

Private and Public Address Ranges

Within each of the classes are a range of addresses designated as "private" addresses.

These are addresses that should only be used on private local networks and intranets and cannot be accessed directly from the Internet.

• 10.0.0.0

– 10.255.255.255

•

172.16.0.0

–

172.31.255.255

•

169.254.0.0

–

169.254.255.255

•

192.168.0.0

– 192.168.255.255

Addresses outside these ranges are considered "public".

Multicast Address Range

A further range of addresses is available for multicast use (class D addresses):

•

235

–

239

255

These addresses are used to allow several devices to be part of the same multicast group.

Each device in the group has the same multicast address and can effectively send data to all other devices in the same group simultaneously.

The StudioStation 100 uses

235

111

as the default multicast address for the RTSP Pull stream.

Subnet Mask

The subnet mask is a 32‑bit binary number used to "mask" certain bits of the IP address. It extends the number of network options available for the IP address. The subnet mask does this by allowing part of the host identifier to be used as a subnetwork identifier.

It is important that the correct value is used for the subnet mask. The value of the subnet mask is dependent on the IP address class being used. Use the table below and the table in

What is an IP Address?

on page 94 to select the subnet mask class that matches the

IP address class.

Class Subnet Mask

Class A 255.0.0.0

Class B

255.255.0.0

Class C

255.255.255.0

StudioStation 100 • Reference Information 95

Port Number

A port number is combined with the IP address to create an application‑specific or process‑specific address. The port number can uniquely identify an application or process on a computer and thereby enable the computer to share a single Ethernet connection for multiple requirements. A port number is always associated with the IP address of the computer, as well as the type of protocol used for network communication.

The StudioStation uses specific ports, but can be configured to meet most requirements. In addition to the default ports, any port in the available range (1024 to 65535) can be used.

NOTE: Ports previously assigned and currently in use by the StudioStation 100 cannot be used again.

All streaming methods (except TS/UDP push) use multiple port numbers. The following table shows the number of ports used by each streaming method. Recording and streaming streams have different port numbers.

RTSP (Pull) TS/UDP

(Push)

TS/RTP

(Push)

ES/RTP

(Push)

Unicast

(per stream)

Multicast

4 ports for "Audio/Video", or 2 ports for "Video only"

When the StudioStation 100 ports are configured, only the initial port is entered by the user.

The StudioStation 100 firmware then assigns the multiple port numbers based on the initial port number.

Choosing an IP Address

If the StudioStation 100 and other devices are connected via an independent network, then follow the guidelines below when choosing IP addresses. However, if the StudioStation 100 and other devices are being connected to an existing network, advise the network administrator and ask them to assign suitable addresses.

On an independent network, nearly any type of address can be used (in theory). However, it is generally recommended that class C addresses are used (

192.0.0.1

through

223.255.255.253

There are two rules for choosing IP addresses:

• The network identifier must be the same for each address.

•

The host identifier must be unique for each address.

Applying these rules to class C addresses, the first three decimal values of the IP addresses must all be the same, while the last value is used to uniquely identify each device.

The table below shows an example of a valid class C addressing scheme.

Device IP Address Subnet Mask

Device 1

Device 2

Device 3

208.132.180.41

208.132.180.42

208.132.180.43

255.255.255.0

NOTE: The host identifiers (

, and

in the example above) do not need to be in sequential or in any particular order. However, it is recommended that the numbers are grouped for simplicity.

StudioStation 100 • Reference Information 96

The table below shows an example of an invalid class C addressing scheme.

208.132.180.41

Subnet Mask

255.255.255.0

Assuming the IP address for device 1 is valid, the IP address for device 2 is invalid because the network identifier for each address must begin with

208.132.180

.xxx. The IP address for device 3 is invalid because it is using the same IP address as device 1.

The ping command can be used from a computer (see below) or from the web interface to ensure that a device at an IP address is responding correctly.

Using the Ping Utility to Test Communications

Use the ping command to test communications between a Windows‑based computer and another device on the same network.

From the desktop, select

Start > Run

The

Run

dialog box displays. In the

Open

field, enter

ping

nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn

–t

(where

nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn

is the IP address of the device to test).

Click

or press the <

Enter

> key. A window opens showing a series of response messages (explained below).

To stop the ping utility, press <

Ctrl+C

> on the keyboard.

NOTE:

The embedded web page includes a ping utility (see

Diagnostic Tools

on page 62).

Response Messages

While running the ping utility, a series of response messages are displayed that are used to determine the status of the communications link. For example, pinging a device with the

IP address 208.132.180.48 replies with a message similar to the following:

Reply from 208.132.180.48: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=32

This is the correct response which indicates that the device at the specified address is communicating correctly. The response time value may vary according to network traffic. If one of the following messages are received:

•

Request timed out

— There has been no response from the specified address. Either the processor is not receiving data (from the computer) or is not sending data back.

Check that the device is powered on and set to the same address that was pinged.

Also, check that the device is correctly connected to the network.

•

Reply from 208.132.180.48: Destination host unreachable

— The IP address of the computer is not in the same class as the device being pinged. Check that the subnet mask on both the computer and the device are set to the same value. Also check that both IP addresses are within the correct range for the chosen class and

are compatible (see

Subnet Mask

on page 95 and

What is an IP Address?

on page 94 to select the subnet mask class that matches the IP address class).

StudioStation 100 • Reference Information 97

Multicast IP Addressing for Multiple StudioStation 100 Installations

When multiple StudioStation 100 devices are installed in a system (when the multicast address is used for Push or Pull streaming), the streams are managed by the StudioStation to avoid conflicts.

Pull streaming (RTSP)

The StudioStation can use one of two multicast streaming IP address assignment methods.

If multicast IP addresses for a network are limited, the StudioStation 100 devices can use unassigned port numbers within the available range (1024 to 65436).

NOTE: To prevent conflicts, always check to see if other devices using the same IP address have already used a port number before using it in the StudioStation 100.

The following table shows a typical port assignment for multiple StudioStation 100 devices using a single multicast IP address (RTSP pull streams require four sequential ports).

NOTE: The StudioStation 100 automatically inserts the ending port number when the initial port number is entered.

Push streaming (TS/UDP, TS/RTP, ES/RTP)

Push streams to a multicast address generally require only two ports, except for ES/RTP which requires four. When Push streaming from multiple StudioStation 100 devices to multicast addresses, the same IP address rules apply as with Pull streaming.

For Push streaming, the destination IP and port number are adjusted using the encoder presets page.

StudioStation 100 • Reference Information 98

Streaming Method Overview

The streaming method used by the StudioStation 100 should be considered carefully.

Multicast is typically used for live multicasting a "one‑to‑many" session when it is known there will be multiple viewers of a stream. Unicast streaming is used for on‑demand video where the network infrastructure does not support multicast traffic. Typically, unicast streaming is used for a point‑to‑point (one‑to‑one) connection.

Protocols Used for Streaming

Streaming protocols must be selected based on the streaming method and the

StudioStation capability. The following transport layer protocols can be used for

StudioStation 100 streaming.

Pull Push

Unicast Multicast Unicast

RTP (RTP over UDP) RTP (RTP over UDP) TS/UDP

TS/RTP

Multicast

ES/RTP (Native RTP) ES/RTP (Native RTP)

The transport protocols are summarized in this section. For information on how to change the StudioStation 100 transport protocol, see the

StudioStation 100 Help File

Multicast Streaming Method — An Overview

This streaming method is used for live video multicasting with low latency in a

"one‑to‑many" streaming session. The StudioStation uses a variety of streaming protocols to send data to a multicast group. Using multicasting, the StudioStation does not need to know the IP address of the devices viewing the stream. This allows a large number of users to view the data simultaneously while using bandwidth efficiently. The maximum number of connected users is dependent on the type of distribution network.

NOTE:

To use this streaming method, each network must be configured to pass multicast broadcasts.

Multicast streaming can use push or pull streaming. It can push the data to a network for broader distribution, or to many individual viewing devices. It can also use pull streaming, where the StudioStation waits for viewing devices to request the stream before broadcasting.

StudioStation 100 • Reference Information 99

NOTE: IGMP multicast protocol is used by routers and switches to deliver streams to subscribing endpoints. The StudioStation 100 delivers packets and frames onto the network that are identified as multicast.

An IGMP multicast conserves network bandwidth because the StudioStation will only send data when a connection is made by a user. All network switches and routing equipment must be properly configured to support IGMP snooping and IGMP query to avoid flooding all endpoints with unnecessary streaming traffic.

Unicast Streaming Method — An Overview

This streaming method is used for on‑demand video with low latency and uses a variety of streaming protocols. It can be used where the network infrastructure does not support multicast traffic. Typically, unicast streaming is used for a point‑to‑point (one‑to‑one) connection (StudioStation 100 to single viewing device), but can be configured to use multiple active connections.

Unicast Push streaming can push exactly one (1) stream. Unicast Pull streaming can pull as many streams as the StudioStation 100 can handle. Unicast streaming can Push the data to individual or multiple viewing devices, or it can use Pull streaming, where the StudioStation waits for an individual viewing device to request the stream before broadcasting.

All network switches and routing equipment must be properly configured to support IGMP snooping and IGMP query to avoid flooding all endpoints with unnecessary streaming traffic.

The table below indicates the approximate number of multicast streams supported by the

StudioStation using IGMP multicast protocol. Operating at different resolutions using higher or lower bit rates can increase or decrease the scalability of the streaming system.
