Source field

When a source (clip or stream) loads, this field displays the path and file name. Click (...) to the right of the text field to open a dialog displaying paths and file names too long for the field.

A source can be loaded by any of these methods:

•Click and hold, then drag a source from the browser to this field.

•Use <Ctl+C> to copy, then <Ctl+V> to paste a URI or URL directly into the field. If required, edit the name, then press <Enter> or click outside the field to confirm and load the source.

•Select a source in the Browser>Files panel and click Load in the bottom panel.

•<Right-click> a source in the Browser>Files panel, and select Load.

Source format

Displays the format (DVI or HDMI), resolution, frame rate, and audio codec of the current clip or stream.

Output format

Displays the current format (video resolution, frame rate, and audio format) of the output.

Network Condition

Displays a simple indication of current network conditions relative to the selected stream (corresponds to the front panel network indicator). The network conditions are defined as:

•Very Good (green) — Network conditions allow full image and sound quality.

•Reduced (amber) — Network conditions such as packet loss, jitter, or delay are likely to cause intermittent and noticeable degradation of image or sound quality.

•Poor (red) — Network conditions are likely to cause frequent and sustained degradation or loss of audio and video.

•Very Bad (black) — Communication with the source is lost. The server could be disconnected from the network.

NOTE: In many cases, the error correction features of the SMD 101 allow good image quality even when degraded network conditions are indicated.

Browser

By default, the player page opens with the streams tab selected (see figure 15). Collapse it to make more room for the lists or playlist editor panels. Tabs divide available source content into Files and Streams.

SMD 101 specifications

Extron Electronics has long been a prominent name in the realm of audio-visual solutions, and the SMD 101 is a prime example of its innovation in display management technology. The SMD 101 is a compact and versatile AV signal processor and distribution device designed to optimize the performance of modern AV systems.

One of the standout features of the SMD 101 is its ability to handle multiple video resolutions and formats, making it compatible with a wide range of sources and displays. This flexibility ensures that users can connect various components seamlessly, irrespective of their video standards. The SMD 101 supports HDMI signals, including embedded audio, while also offering the capability to manage audio signals separately, providing a comprehensive solution for users who demand high-quality sound alongside their visual content.

Another significant characteristic of the SMD 101 is its powerful scaling technology. With advanced scaling algorithms, it ensures that all video signals are converted to optimal resolutions without sacrificing image quality. This feature is particularly beneficial in environments where content from different sources is displayed simultaneously, maintaining consistent clarity and detail across diverse display types.

Moreover, the SMD 101 integrates Extron's advanced EDID management to streamline the communication between source devices and displays. This technology helps to minimize configuration issues and ensures that the best possible video output is achieved. The device also includes sophisticated audio features, such as audio de-embedding and mixing, enabling users to tailor the audio output to fit their specific requirements.

In terms of connectivity, the SMD 101 provides multiple input and output options, allowing for extensive system integration. The device interfaces easily with various control systems, giving users the ability to automate and manage their AV environments efficiently. It also supports Extron's control system protocols, enhancing its adaptability within existing setups.

Built to last, the SMD 101 features a robust design that ensures reliability in demanding environments. Its compact form factor allows for easy installation in racks, under tables, or in other tight spaces.

Overall, the Extron SMD 101 stands out as a comprehensive solution for AV signal processing and distribution, combining sophisticated features with user-friendly operation. Its cutting-edge technologies make it a powerful tool for any modern AV application, from corporate settings to educational institutions.
