In this blog post, I'll be showing you how to configure your new Studio X30, X50 or X70.
Connecting our Devices
First, connect your bar to corporate network and power source, and then to a display (X30), or two displays (X50 or X70). Also, connect your TC8 to PoE source.
In order to IP devices (such as TC8) can be paired to video system, your TC8 and Studio X need to be on the same VLAN, you need to allow traffic on TCP port 18888 and the following network components must be unblocked:
- Multicast address 224.0.0.200
- TCP port 2000
- UDP port 18888
The diagrams are as follows:

Changing Password
Type in Studio X's IP address in your preferred browser, and then enter user name and password.
- Default user name: admin
- Default password: The last 6 digits of serial number
 |
| Web Interface |
Now, I highly recommend you change your password, select Security and Local Accounts, click on Change Password.
 |
| Local Accounts |
Type in current password and, a new one.
 |
General Settings
Sign in with your new password.
Add your information, click on General Settings and My Information. Fill up the requested blanks.
 |
| Your Information |
Go into General Settings, click on Date and Time, and set time zone, date format and time format.
 |
Check for updates in Device Management. If there's any update, click on Update All. After completing the update, the system will restart itself.
 |
Let's configure systems settings. Now, go into General Settings - Systems Settings.
- Sleep Mode: Set time before systems goes to sleep. You can enable "Mic mute" in this mode.
- Digital Signage: Enable it, and select one provider. It's optional, but a good option to take advantage of it. In another post, I'll talk about it.
- Out of Office: Enable and set out of office time. In my opinion, it can be set from 8:00 to 20:00, however, you can configure it as you prefer.
- Collaboration Tools: Enable device mode, and make sure that idle timeout is set to immediately.
- Environment: Enable it to control smart devices using Extron applications, but you must have an Extron control processor, and a license. This year, I'll set aside time to talk about how to automate your room.
I highly recommend enabling Scheduled Auto Restart feature and setting Scheduled Auto Restart to Daily, and what time will your system restart? You can choose one any time, but I will set time to 8 AM bc in-office employees always arrive in the office at 9 AM.
Once you've already completed configurations, click on Save Button.

Audio / Video Settings
Before getting into audio/video configurations, I recommend you enable CEC protocol, if you ask me... CEC protocol allows a device to become the active source with a single button press, and more...
Click on Audio/Video, and then Monitors.
Audio
Now, let´s check audio settings, click on Audio.
Take a look at NoiseBlockAI options:
- NoiseblockAI helps us suppress background noise and reduce interruptions caused by keyboard tapping, dog barks, fierro viejo and so on.
- Soud Reflection Reduction: Removes/Reduces audio reverberation caused by glass walls and hard surfaces.
Also, enable Acoustic Fence to create a "virtual fence" that blocks out voices and noise from outside the fence.
What does Acoustic Fence sensibility mean? Check out the following pictures and you will figure it out by yourself.
 |
For Studio X Series, you only need to multiply sensibility by 12 and you will set the angle to Y°, and that's all.
Other settings depend on what you need, you can connect an audio conferencing processor to your system, for instance. Go over the information below.
- Enable USB Audio: This option is for connecting 3rd party audio systems such as Shure, QSC or Biamp processors.
- Enable Trio Audio: Option for using trio's microphones in addition to Studio X built-in mics.
- Enable Audio Mic Switching: This option is only available on X50, X52 and X70, and is for using an extension mic and Studio X's mics.

General Camera Settings
Built-in Camera
Let's talk about Workspace Lighting, Sharpness, Brightness, Color Saturation, and stuff. Refer to the following information to see how you can make the most of your device, in terms of image.
Workspace Lighting options:
- Personal Mode: Perfect option for a home office.
- Conference Mode: Excellent option for rooms.
- Off: Strong backlight? This is the best option.
When lightning is not optimal, you can configure the following options:
- Sharpness: It provides more detail just as you increase it.
- Brightness: You can increase it in low light environment, or decrease it in high light situations, but it may cause you to lose fine details. Be careful.
- Color Saturation: Increasing it can correct washed out colors in low light environment.
Other configurations:
- Tracking Mode: Frame Speaker, Group framing and so on options are available
- Maximum Digital Zoom Factor: Make sure it is set to 3x
Note: The options mentioned are not available on X70's web interface. Check out the following Web UI of X70:
One new feature you could take advantage of is DirectorAI Perimeter, so enable it by checking the box. Set the perimeter for the room and define a space where people will be, and your Studio X will only frame people who are inside of the space.
