The Planar ContentSmart Media Player (MP-3450) is designed to work with 3rd party management solutions. Please refer to the printed ContentSmart Software Guide for related set up instructions.

4.Authoring in HTML5

A major feature of the MP-3450 media appliance is the ability to playback HTML5 content which can contain dynamic information.

5.Working with SMIL

The MP-3450 uses open communications protocols for content presentation and playback control. SMIL- compliance means predictable results across multiple devices, and SMIL’s non-proprietary nature means that your investments are never obsolete.

5.1. Introduction

Using SMIL (pronounced “smile”), the language created by W3C for multimedia communications, the media player understands the language “spoken” by professional tools from companies such as AdobeTM, AppleTM, MicrosoftTM, and Real NetworksTM. What this means is quicker, easier, and better integration of your media player into your digital signage networks, opening up avenues of software controls and realizing the full potential of your player hardware down the road.

The media player operating system utilizes W3C SMIL as the underlying scripting language, which lends well to customization to your project management needs. For resources, downloads, and community support, please visit www.a-smil.org.
