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
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.
