Control Options Panel

IR receiver: — The front panel IR receiver or rear panel IR receiver input can be enabled or both can be disabled. Select from the following options:

Disable all IR reception — When selected, ignores all IR commands.

Enable the front panel IR receiver — When selected ignores IR commands from the rear panel wired IR input.

Enable the rear panel IR receiver — When selected, ignores IR commands from the front panel IR receiver.

Disable Video Confidence Display — Click this box to disable the video confidence display on the player controls panel. Click again to enable the display.

Power Mode Panel

The SMD 101 features an energy conserving mode. Low power standby stops the stream and places all processing in a low power condition awaiting external commands.

Full Power: — Click to select normal operation (default).

Low Power-Standby State: — Click to immediately enter standby mode. Normal operation can be resumed by clicking the full power button, by sending a power on/off command from the IR remote (if enabled in control options), or when a SIS command that sets a value is received on the network or serial ports (see Automation on page 32).

Auto Standby Delay: — Enter a time in minutes or use the list buttons to scroll to the desired time selection the device waits after the inactivity period is met before entering standby mode. Default: off.

NOTE: When the SMD 101 comes out of standby mode, the first clip can fail to load or play automatically. Any "set" command causes the SMD 101 to resume full power state, but command execution could be delayed. For best results, before sending any other commands, always send a 0psav SIS command

to bring the SMD 101 out of standby (see Power Save and Standby on page 68).
