Operation With Extron SME 100 Encoders

For SME 100 stream discovery in the SMD 101 streams browser (see figure 5 on page 4), the SME 100 must have both Stream Control and SAP Control enabled to enable SAP announcements. The SME 100 settings are shown below. From the SME 100 default web page (see the SME 100 User Guide), select the Encoder Configuration link, then Encoder Settings to open the configuration dialog shown in figure 6 below.

In both the Stream Control and SAP Control drop-down lists, select Enable. Choose a Destination IP and Destination Port which avoid conflict with other multicast devices on your network, then enter them into the appropriate fields.

With SAP Control enabled, the SME 100 stream (Test Pattern 1) is listed by the SMD 101 stream browser in the Extron folder. To connect the stream, from the browser, drag and drop the stream anywhere on the Player Controls panel (see Play a Stream: on page 4).

RTSP Multicast (Pull Streaming)

When using RTSP multicast from an SME 100, the SMD 101 must still connect to it using the SME 100 IP address (for example rtsp://192.168.254.100) rather than the typical multicast IP address (for example rtsp://239.10.193.165).

If the SME 100 is set up for push streaming (Stream Control Enable), the RTSP bitrate is limited to 5 Mbps on startup or restart. Although it can be higher, it is not recommended.

If higher bitrates are required, only a single stream method should be active.

Push Streaming (Unicast Port Numbers)

In systems with more than one SME 100 encoder using any of the unicast push methods (TS/UDP, TS/RTP, ES/RTP) to a single SMD 101 decoder, each SME 100 must use a unique port number (such as 60000 and 61000). See the SMD 101 User Guide for additional information.

Multicast

For systems where streams from one or more SME 100s are received and decoded by multiple SMD 101s, multicast addressing is strongly recommended. All network switches must be suitably rated and correctly configured for IGMP snooping and multicast filtering with an active IGMP querier (possibly the network switch) available on the local subnet for optimum performance.

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.
