APower LED – Lights solid green when the SMD 101 is powered. Lights solid red when in standby (low power) mode.

BPlayback status indicator — Dual-color LED indicates the current state of playback operation:

•Solid Green – The SMD 101 is actively decoding a stream.

•Blinking Green – A stream is selected for decoding, but playback is paused.

•Off – The selected stream is not being decoded.

•Solid Red – Playback errors.

CNetwork status indicator — Dual-color LED indicates the current state of network operation and connection quality.

•Solid Green – Indicates network conditions are favorable for the current source. The LED is also lit if the current source is a local file.

•Red/Green – When flashing red and green, indicates encoder or network conditions are compromising image or audio quality, and the buffers could be depleted.

•Solid Red – Indicates server or network conditions are compromising video or audio quality and the buffers could be depleted.

•Off – No network connectivity.

DIR Receiver Window— Allows remote operation using a compatible IR hand control (optional).

EConfig port — Connect a control PC or other USB device to this port with a mini-type B USB cable (not supplied). Use this port to send Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands to the SMD 101 for device configuration and control.

SMD 101 Configuration

The SMD 101 can be configured and controlled using a web‑browser. To configure the SMD 101 to play a multimedia stream:

1.Connect the external power supply to a 100 to 240 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz power source. The SMD 101 powers up and undergoes a self testing sequence.

2.Power up all connected devices. The SMD 101 reads the EDID of the connected display device and sets the output resolution and format.

3.The SMD 101 can be connected to a control PC using the front panel USB port, the rear panel RS-232 connection, or the RJ‑45 LAN port (see Control System Connections on page 2). Ensure the control PC is on the same subnet, power the PC, and open a web browser.

•Google Chrome™ version 27 or higher (recommended),

•Mozilla® Firefox® (version 15 or higher) or

•Microsoft® Internet Explorer® version 8 or higher (for Windows operating systems).

4.Enter the default IP address of the SMD 101 (192.168.254.254) into the browser address bar and press <Enter> on the keyboard.

The Player Page opens with the browser, lists, and playlist editor panels open. The browser Streams tab is selected (see figure 5 on page 4).

5.Configure the SMD 101 using the Configuration, and Advanced Configuration pages. See the SMD 101 User Guide at www.extron.com for details.
