Mount the SMD | Extron electronic SMD 101 instruction

SMD 101 • Setup Guide

The Extron SMD 101 decodes video or graphics streams from an IP network,

plays back internal video and audio files, and plays Video On Demand files from network shares at their original resolution or scaled up or down to any common SD, HD, or graphics resolution up to 1900x1200 (WUXGA). The SMD 101 can be deployed in live event streaming and high level conferencing for specialized projects.

Mount the SMD 101

Before connecting the SMD 101, turn off all devices that will be connected to it. The SMD 101 is housed in a 1-inch high,

half‑rack width, 6‑inch deep metal enclosure that can sit on a table with the provided rubber feet or can be rack mounted. Select a suitable mounting location, then choose an appropriate mounting option.

Make all external device connections before applying power.

ATTENTION:

•Always use a power supply provided by or specified by Extron. Use of an unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certification and may cause damage to the supply and the end product.

•Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling spaces or in wall cavities. The power supply is to be located within the same vicinity as the Extron AV processing equipment in an ordinary location, Pollution Degree 2, secured to the equipment rack within the dedicated closet, podium, or desk.

•The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 75 and the Canadian Electrical Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to building structure or similar structure.
