GroupSTATION
Overview
The Vaddio GroupSTATION is a complete media collaboration appliance for small and medium meeting spaces. GroupSTATION incorporates all the audio & video functions required for group collaboration in a sturdy and robust form-factor.
This multipurpose appliance is used for local presentations, PC-based Unified Communications, and VoIP conferencing. The GroupSTATION system consists of a table-based MicDock and a camera/sound bar.
The MicDock functions as the microphone, user interface, and PC interface dock. Four (4) cardioid microphone elements, each with its own AEC (acoustic echo canceller) circuit, provide a 360° pickup pattern for all participants. Vaddio’s microphone technology ensures that pristine, crystal clear audio is maintained for both local and far-end participants with hands-free, automatic operation. A capacitive-touch user interface on the MicDock provides for dialing, volume and mute along with video controls for zoom, PIP, and a 2-input source selection for complete operator control during a conference. The MicDock features interfaces for a PC, laptop or tablet, HDMI or VGA inputs to locally extend the PC to the room monitor and a USB 2.0 UVC and UAC compliant connection. Once the laptop is docked, media functions are extended from the PC for room operations.
The GroupSTATION wall unit includes a pair of 2-way loudspeakers with a HD camera in the center. Like the ZoomSHOT™ camera, the GroupSTATION camera has an auto-focus, 19X motorized zoom lens and is directly wired into the main processor in the camera/speaker unit. ZoomSHOT can be manually positioned for pan and tilt. The GroupSTATION also includes an HDMI output for the room LCD monitor extending the PC or laptop’s screen when docked. A supplied single Cat-6 SSTP shielded cable (25-feet) connects the GroupSTATION with the MicDock carrying power, video, audio, and network making installation a pure breeze. A Premium Wall Mount with integrated cable tray and a 4x4 PC Interface Cable are both sold separately as accessory options.
Intended Use:
Before operating the device, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The system was designed, built and tested for use indoors, and with the provided power supply and cabling. The use of a power supply other than the one provided or outdoor operation has not been tested and could damage the device and/or create a potentially unsafe operating condition.

Important Safeguards:
Read and understand all instructions before using. Do not operate any device if it has been dropped or damaged. In this case, a Vaddio technician must examine the product before operating. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse in water or other liquids and avoid extremely humid conditions. Do not connect Power over Ethernet (PoE) cables directly to the RJ-45 ports on the device as damage may result.
Use only the power supply provided with the system. Use of an unauthorized power supply will void all warranties.
The GroupSTATION Cable: The type of LINK cable betw een the GroupSTATION MicDock and the C amera/Sound Bar is critical for proper operation. The LINK cable is Cat-6 SSTP (26awg stranded, individually shielded pairs with overall shield, gold contacts and metal shielded RJ-45. This exact attrib utes of the cable are required for the high speed data traffic between the two GroupSTATION devices. A 25’ (7.62m) cabl e is provided. A 50’ (15.24m), which is the maximum di sta nce between the Dock and the Camera/Sound Bar, is available as an accessory.
Installation Requirements
Please use qualified personnel for installation of the GroupSTATION systems. It is critical that the IT professionals that install and maintain the network at the place of installation be involved with the provision of the network for the GroupSTATION IP, VoIP and PC connectivity.

First Time Set-up with the GroupSTATION
The GroupSTATION is easy to install and operate with typical installations taking less than an hour. The GroupSTATION Camera/Sound Bar is positioned above or below a room’s LCD display. There is a premium wall mount bracket available in certain system packages or it can be purchased separately. Power, Network, HDMI output to room monitor and the LINK cable are connected to the Camera/Sound Bar. A single 25’ (7.62m) Cat-6 SSTP LINK cable with individually shielded pairs is provided and connects the Camera/Sound Bar to the MicDock residing on the conference room table. Next, a PC’s media interfaces are connected to the MicPOD Dock. This includes connecting USB 2.0, RGBHV or HDMI and Ethernet. This completes the physical installation of the GroupSTATION. The final step is to log-on to the GroupSTATION web pages to complete the VoIP configuration of the device. A diagram of the system connection is depicted below.
Once installed, users will be able to conduct Unified Communications (UC) sessions, VoIP Teleconferencing, or local presentations with the GroupSTATION.

Installation Instructions:
To install the GroupSTATION, follow the Step-by-Step Installation instructions.
Step 1: Position the GroupSTATION Camera/Sound Bar
Position the Camera/Sound Bar at the front of the room over, or under, the main monitor located in the room. If the system is to be wall mounted, please see the note below.
The Premium Wall Mount Bracket for the Camera/Sound Bar is available as an Accessory Option and is also packaged with the GroupSTATION Deluxe and GroupSTATION Premier Systems. It is highly recommended to purchase the Wall Mount or buy a package that includes the mount if the intent is to mount the Camera/Sound Bar to the wall above the monitor.
If the system is to be shelf mounted, cabinet mounted or mounted to a portable stand with wheels, detailed drawings of the GroupSTATION elements are available at Vaddio.com. General dimensions will also be available in the specification section of this here manual.
