Device IP Address Subnet Mask Device 1 208.132.180.41 255.255.255.0 Device 2 192.157.180.42 255.255.255.0 Device 3 208.132.180.41 255.255.255.0 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.
Page 108: Multicast Ip Addressing For Multiple Studiostation 100 Installations
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 100 to avoid conflicts. Pull streaming (RTSP) The StudioStation 100 can use one of two multicast streaming IP address assignment methods.

Page 120: Estimating Storage Requirements For A Recording
Estimating Storage Requirements for a Recording Estimating Storage per Recording Hour You need to know video and audio bit rates configured in your Extron StudioStation 100. For these examples, the calculations assume that the bit rates remain constant during the recording. If you are using VBR (variable bit rate, which is the default) then the actual bit rates are often slightly lower than this estimate.

Page 124: Glossary
Glossary Ad hoc recording — An ad hoc recording session is one that has been set up for a specific occasion or task without being previously scheduled. Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) — A standardized compression and encoding scheme for lossy (low quality) digital audio. Higher bit rates provide higher quality. Part of the MPEG‑2 and MPEG‑4 specifications.
Page 125 Constant Bit Rate (CBR) — Constant bit rate encoding means that the rate at which codec output data is consumed is constant. CBR is useful for streaming multimedia content on data communication channels which operate more efficiently or require the bit rate to remain within a tight tolerance.
Page 126 Encoder — A hardware device or software program used to compress (encode) or change a signal from one format to another or convert an analog signal into a digital data stream. The StudioStation 100 is an encoder that converts analog audio and video into digital streams.
Page 127 iCalendar file — An iCalendar file is a file containing schedule, task, or meeting information in a standard format. iCalendar files work independent of transport protocol and can be used cross‑platform to share calendar data. Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) — A TCP/IP communications protocol used by hosts and adjacent routers on a network to establish multicast group memberships.
Page 128 Multicast — A network technology for the delivery of information to a group of destinations simultaneously. A single stream is sent from the source to a group of devices at the same time in one transmission. Delivery is managed by network switches using the most efficient strategy to deliver the messages over each link of the network only once, and creating copies only when the links to the group of destinations split.
Page 129 Secondary Storage Mode — The StudioStation 100 setting in which recordings are saved to two storage drives rather than one. This is the alternative to single storage mode (see Single Storage Mode below). Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) — Similar to FTP, this protocol adds encryption and requires credentials for file transfers.
Page 130 Telnet port — Most controllers support Telnet and use port 23 as the communication port to receive or issue commands. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) — A protocol developed for the Internet that provides reliable end‑to‑end data packet delivery from one network device to another. Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) —...
