About this Guide

This guide contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the SMD101.

In this guide:

• Codec or H.264 refers to the H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10 AVC codec.

• Stream can refer to audio, video, or both that is received by the SMD101 and

constantly decoded for display.

About the SMD101

The SMD101 is a compact, high performance H.264 decoder used in applications that require live AV streaming or file playback from files located on other network devices and shared. The SMD101 can decode and display one SD or HD stream and output a single HDMI signal supporting resolutions up to 1920x1200 (60 fps, progressive). The video output can be scaled and its aspect ratio modified. The Extron SMD101 is compatible with all SME100 HD and SD encoder streaming protocols and resolutions.

The SMD101 can be controlled using IR, RS-232, or Ethernet. Ethernet to RS-232 pass-through for display control is possible.

The SMD101 decodes H.264/MPEG-4 AVC streams or clips and outputs HDMI video with embedded audio for display on any HDMI compatible device (see figure 1 on the next page).

SMD101 • Introduction 2

Video Output

The SMD101 can decode and display one SD or HD stream. The optional handheld IR remote control allows channel preset recall and channel navigation. The SMD101 automatically detects transport and stream formats and decodes the content for presentation to the display.

A channel list can be defined that allows simple selection of individual streams. The user can import or export source selection data including URLs and associated data from the channel list. This is an extension of the configuration save or restore capability that can save box and IP configuration settings for the product as a separate xml file.

The channel list can be accessed with a remote control (not included) for selection and playing streams included in the list.

The SMD101 decodes all common stream resolutions and frame rates.

NOTES: The SMD101 does not support decoding of encrypted content.

The SMD101 can be configured using a host PC or laptop connected to the front panel USB Config port, the RJ-45 LAN connector, or the RS-232 port (see Remote

Communication and Control on page57). A compatible web browser on a control PC

connected to the same network as the SMD101 can access the embedded HTML pages. A video confidence display allows image monitoring from the user interface while making configuration and control adjustments.

Video output parameters are configured automatically for the connected display based on the display EDID, or can be configured manually using a browser and the video configuration page.

NOTE:

• The SMD101 does frame rate conversion between the input stream frame rate

and the output frame rate, scaling from the source resolution and output resolution, and aspect ratio between ﬁt (zoom), ﬁll, and follow as required.

• Fill and follow background, when necessary, is black.

The SMD101 by default, automatically outputs video corresponding to EDID data from the connected display within the resolution and rate combinations (see Output Resolution and

EDID Support Table on page4). The output rates available are limited by the display

capabilities. EDID data exchange is compatible with E-EDID V2.0 (EDID data structure 1.4) and EIA/CEA-861E.

Output format

Displays the current format (video resolution, frame rate, and audio format) of the output.

Network Condition

Displays a simple indication of current network conditions relative to the selected stream (corresponds to the front panel network indicator). The network conditions are defined as:

• Very Good (green) — Network conditions allow full image and sound quality.

• Reduced (amber) — Network conditions such as packet loss, jitter, or delay are likely to

cause intermittent and noticeable degradation of image or sound quality.

• Poor (red) — Network conditions are likely to cause frequent and sustained degradation

or loss of audio and video.

• Very Bad (black) — Communication with the source is lost. The server could be

disconnected from the network.

NOTE: In many cases, the error correction features of the SMD101 allow good

image quality even when degraded network conditions are indicated.

Browser

By default, the player page opens with the streams tab selected (see figure 15). Collapse it to make more room for the lists or playlist editor panels. Tabs divide available source content into Files and Streams.

Figure 15. Browser Panel, Streams Tab

SMD101 • Web-based User Interface 18

Browser Panel - Streams

The Streams tab in the Browser panel displays a list of streams identified on the local subnet the SMD101 is connected to.

NOTE: The compatibility of streams listed in the browser is not assured. Stream

compatibility is verified by the SMD101 only as it is loaded for play.

The streams list is generated using information from Session Announcement Protocol (SAP) messages broadcast on the local subnet.

Streams are grouped into folders according to information within the SAP message. Standard panel controls expand, collapse, or refresh the list. In addition, click the corresponding folder icon to expand or collapse individual folders.

To load a stream:

• Click and hold the desired stream, then drag it to the PlayerControls panel.

• Click the stream to highlight it, then click Load (below the Filter panel).

• Right-click on the stream, then select Load from the right-click menu.

SMD101 • Web-based User Interface 19

Filter

Filters are provided to refine the list of streams viewed in the browser. There are three filters with sub-filters to narrow the list of streams. The default choice for each filter is All.

• Source — Limits the browser to streams identified by their source device or location.

The drop-down list is populated with SAP source identification data. Limiting choices are Extron or Other.

NOTE: A stream listed under Extron is defined as a member of the Extron group by

the SAP/SDP message. If the SAP/SDP message does not indicate Extron group membership, it is listed in Other.

• Protocol — Limits the browser to streams identified by their transport protocol (UDP or

RTP). The list is dynamic, populated from SAP transport protocol data as the streams are identified.

• Addressing — Limits the browser list to streams identified as unicast or as multicast.

NOTE: Unicast streams can only be played if the connection (destination)

address is set correctly at the decoder.

Load

Loads the selected stream for playing.

Browser Panel - Files

The Files tab opens a list of available clips and playlists in the file system including internal storage (up to 175 MB for user content) and shared network folders (when mounted). Each file type (audio, image, video, system, and playlist) has a different icon to distinguish it.

Figure 17. Browser Panel, Files

Separate controls fully expand, fully collapse, or refresh the list. In addition, click the corresponding individual folder icons to expand or collapse.

SMD101 • Web-based User Interface 20

In a current session, the folder view is retained after the user collapses the browser, changes tabs within the browser, or changes the page (for example, from Player to Configuration). The default view (top folders expanded and all sub-folders collapsed) is restored each time the web interface is opened or refreshed.

NOTE: Right-click on file browser items for additional actions. When renaming files or

folders, the web interface enforces SIS file name and path requirements. Spaces are not allowed. When creating folders or uploading files using a SFTP client, spaces are allowed and fully supported.

A clip or playlist is loaded for playback by dragging the selected item from the browser and dropping it inside the Player Controls panel.

Filter

The drop-down filter limits the browser files display to any combination of the following file types:

• Clips — compatible video files.

• Playlists — compatible playlist files created by the user.

• Images — compatible image files.

• Audio Only — compatible audio files.

NOTE: The quantity, size, and contents of shared folders on the network are initially

unknown. In order to maximize performance, the filter is applied only to one level below the currently expanded folders. When a user expands a folder, it is then indexed and filtered.

Load

Loads the currently selected file (audio, clip, image, or playlist) to the player.

SMD101 • Web-based User Interface 26

The track duration, the length of time a clip plays during the playlist, can be shortened or lengthened without changing the original clip. Although a duration can be set beyond the clips original playing time, the transition to the next clip occurs when the clip completes.

NOTES:

• Clips in the playlist that are in network shares and local storage have known

durations. Streams in the playlist whether in local storage, network shares, or are streamed live typically have an unknown duration.

• When playlists are assembled ofﬂine, it is possible to introduce incompatible,

damaged, or missing clips into a playlist without warning. The player always attempts to play the entire playlist. Incompatible, damaged, or missing clips are skipped.

When a playlist is edited, changes are saved immediately. If the playlist is active, the changes are indicated by an asterisk following the playlist name until the playlist is reloaded.

Select a clip or clips and click Remove to remove individual or multiple clips from the current playlist. When removing one or more clips, the user is presented a warning message (“Press enter to remove the selected clips”) with an option to confirm or cancel the operation. When multiple clips are removed it is not necessary for them to be part of a contiguous range.

Digital Format — Sets the digital output format from these selections:

• Auto (default)

• DVI RGB 444 (digital embedded audio is disabled)

• HDMI RGB 444

• HDMI YUV 444

• HDMI YUV 422

NOTE: HDMI video level range is set automatically according to defined standards

(0-255 for RGB and 16-235 for YUV (YPrPb).

Aspect Ratio — Sets the output aspect ratio.

• Fill — Scales the source to fill the display area. If the aspect ratios differ, the source

aspect ratio is not maintained.

• Follow (default) — Does not scale the source. If the aspect rations differ, the source

aspect ratio is maintained using black bars to fill areas where the source video does not fit the display screen.

• Zoom — Maintains the source aspect ratio, but crops excess video to fit the screen.

Video Mute — Mutes only the active video.

Sync Mute — Mutes both video and sync allowing a connected display to go into power

save mode (if equipped).

NOTE: The current playback stops when changing the output timings, digital format,

or aspect ratio as the output adjusts. Press Play to restart the selected clip or test pattern.

Buffer Settings panel

The stream buffer runs the stream into internal memory, delaying output video until the buffer fills. This prevents normal network events from disrupting video output.

Buffer settings are configured to optimize the way stream data is handled for specific applications. Where low latency (minimum delay) is required, reduce the Bufferbeforeplayback(sec): time or disable buffering by unchecking

EnableBuffering. Where network performance is limited, increase the buffer times to

ensure sufficient data is available to prevent freeze or dropouts. Enable Buffering — Place a checkmark in this box to turn buffering on. To turn buffering

off, click the checkbox again to clear the checkmark. Buffer before playback (sec): — Sets the time in seconds the stream is buffered before

video output begins. Choose a time from 0.01 to 30 seconds. Default is 2.0 seconds. Buffer before restart (sec): — Sets the time in seconds the video output is delayed after a

restart. Range is 0.01 to 30 seconds. Default is 6.0 seconds.

SMD101 • Web-based User Interface 29

Audio Configuration

The Audio Configuration page (see figure 25) provides information and control of the analog audio output. The controls do not affect embedded audio on the HDMI output.

Analog audio can be delayed or muted. A master gain control for the selected audio is provided.

Figure 25. Configuration - Audio Controls

The analog audio output format is displayed in the Audio Output panel. Click Stereo to maintain a 2 channel audio output. Select Dual Mono when there is only single channel source audio. Dual mono provides two channel output from a single channel input or mixes left and right channels and sends the mix to both the left and right outputs.

The audio delay control allows the user to achieve audio-to-video synchronization when timing differences occur between the audio and video streams. By default, the audio and video streams are synchronized (Audio Delay: = 0 mS). Audio delay is adjusted between +255 to -255 milliseconds.

• Positive delay results in audio lagging video by the set value.

• Negative delay results in audio leading video by the set value.

For SME100 stream discovery in the SMD101 stream browser window (see Browser

Panel - Streams on page19), the SME100 must have both Stream Control and

SAP Control enabled. Figure 49 shows the SME100 settings. 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 49 below.

Figure 49. SME100 Encoder Configuration Panel (Partial View)

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 session name (Test Pattern 1) is listed in the SMD101 stream browser page in the Extron folder. To connect the stream, from the browser, drag and drop the stream anywhere on the Player Controls panel (see Player

Controls on page16).

If an SME100 is configured for RTSP multicast, the SMD101 must still connect to it using the SME100 IPaddress (for example rtsp://192.168.254.100/extron) 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)

RTSP Multicast (Pull Streaming)

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)

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 • Advanced Player Configuration 53

Connecting to Streams Without SAP Announcements

For a source that is not configured for SAP announcements (such as IP cameras), the RTSP (pull) stream URI is entered directly in the Source field of the SMD101 player controls. The URI prefix (udp in the example below) corresponds to the streaming method.

UDP or RTP Connections

To connect the SMD101 to a stream using the destination port of the encoder, use the following template:

udp://@:<destination port>

For example, to connect to a SME100 stream, enter the following URI in the SMD101

Source field (see Source field on page18):

udp://@:60000

The SMD101 also supports the URI formats:

rtp://192.168.254.254@192.168.254.254:60000

and

rtp://@192.168.254.254:60000

HTTP Connection to an SME100

To connect SME100 unicast or multicast push streams over HTTP, use the following templates.

For unicast streams with no password, the URI format is:

http://<sme100_ip>/web/output1.sdp.

For multicast RTP over UDP RTSP (pull) streams with no credentials set, the URI format is:

http://<sme100_ip>/web/multicast.sdp.

NOTE: A typical IPv4 address for an SME100 device on a private network is

192.168.nnn.nnn or 10.nnn.nnn.nnn). A multicast address is in the range

224.nnn.nnn.nnn to 239.nnn.nnn.nnn.

If the encoder has an active admin password, it challenges the connection. An admin or user password is required for connection. To play the stream, the user name and password must be embedded in the URI entered in the Source field.

For unicast or multicast PUSH streams with a password, the URI format is:

http://user:password@<sme100_ip_adr>/web/output1.sdp.

For multicast RTP over UDP RTSP (pull) streams with a password, the URI format is:

http://user:password@<sme100_ip_adr>/web/output1/multicast.sdp.

In the following example, connect to a unicast RTSP over UDP stream broadcast from the SME100 in figure 49 on page 53, using an admin password “123456”.

1. Locate the HTTP stream in the streams browser (see Player Page on page16).

2. Drag and drop the stream into the player panel. An error message indicates the stream

load failed. The URI of the stream is shown in the Source: field.

3. Click the ellipsis (...) to open the full file path.

Remote Communication and Control

This section describes SIS programming and control of the SMD101, including:

• Connection Options

• LAN (Ethernet) Port

• Host-to-device Communications

• Command and Response Tables

Connection Options

The SMD101 Streaming Media Decoder can be remotely connected via a host computer or other device (such as a control system) attached to the rear panel RS-232 port or LAN port, or the front panel USB Config port.

The SMD101 can be configured and controlled using SIS commands or embedded web pages. SIS commands can be executed using the Extron DataViewer program, found on the Extron website.

RS-232 Port

RS-232 protocol:

• 9600 baud • no parity • 1 stop bit

• 8 data bits • no flow control

See RS-232 Port below, for additional details on connecting the RS-232 port.

USB port details:

The Extron USB driver must be installed before use (see Front Panel Configuration Port on page58).

LAN port defaults:

SMD101 IP address: 192.168.254.254

Gateway IP address: 0.0.0.0

Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0

The SMD101 has a serial port that can be connected to a host device such as a computer running a HyperTerminal utility, or the Extron DataViewer utility. The port makes serial control of the player possible. Use the protocol information listed above to make the connection (see Host-to-device Communications on page61).

The port can also be configured as pass-through for direct RS-232 control of a connected display using serial commands via the network.

SMD101 • Remote Communication and Control 57

Front Panel Configuration Port

The mini type B USB port is located on the front panel (see Front Panel Features on page8). It connects to a host computer for configuration using SIScommands with DataViewer.

To connect the SMD101 to a host computer:

NOTE: If an Extron USB device has never been connected to the host computer,

prior to connecting the SMD101 config (USB) port for the first time, you must install and activate the USB driver. The simplest way to do this is to install DataViewer (see

DataViewer on page93) or obtain the driver from the SMD101 product page at www.extron.com.

1. After the USB driver is loaded, connect a USB A to mini B cable between the Config

port on the SMD101 front panel and a USB port of the PC.

2. If this is the first time an Extron product is connected to the PC, the Found New

Hardware Wizard dialog opens. The first screen offers to connect to Windows Update to search the internet for the appropriate driver. This is not necessary if the USB driver is already on your PC (see the Note above).

• E 2BOOT ] restarts the network inteface to apply changes.

Use DataViewer (see DataViewer on page93) to send the commands and view the results.

LAN (Ethernet) Port

The rear panel LAN connector on the device can be connected to an Ethernet LAN or WAN. Communication between the device and the controlling PC is via Telnet (a TCP socket using port 23). The Telnet port can be changed, if necessary, via SIS or using the SMD101 user interface. This connection makes SIS control of the device possible using a computer connected to the same LAN or WAN. The SIS commands and behavior of the product are common to the commands and behavior the product exhibits when communicating by serial port or USB.

NOTE: You do not need to insert an installation disc.

NOTE: The wizard opens only on the first occasion you connect the SMD101 to a

USB port. The wizard reopens only if you connect the SMD101 to a different USB port or if you connect a different piece of equipment, requiring a different driver, to the same USB port.

Ethernet Connection

The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover cable and must be properly terminated for your application (see figure 52).

• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the computer and the SMD101.

• Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the SMD101 to an Ethernet LAN.

Figure 52. RJ-45 Ethernet Connector Pin Assignments

59SMD101 • Remote Communication and Control

To Establish a Network Connection to the SMD101:

1. Open a TCP socket to port 23 using the player IP address.

NOTE: If the local system administrators have not changed the value, the

factory-specified default, 192.168.254.254, is the correct value for this field.

2. The SMD101 responds with a copyright message including the date, the name of the

product, firmware version, part number, and the current date/time.

a. If the SMD101 is not password-protected, the device is ready to accept SIS

commands immediately after it sends the copyright message.

b. If the SMD101 is password-protected, a password prompt appears below the

3. If the device is password protected, enter the appropriate administrator or user

password.

a. If the password is accepted, the device responds with Login User or Login

Administrator.

b. If the password is not accepted, the Password prompt reappears.

Connection Timeouts

The Ethernet link times out after a designated period of time of no communications. By default, this timeout value is 5 minutes, but the value can be changed.

NOTE: Extron recommends leaving the default timeout at 5 minutes and periodically

issuing the Query (Q) command to keep the connection active. If there are long idle periods, disconnect the socket and reopen the connection when another command must be sent.

Verbose Mode

Telnet connections can be used to monitor changes that occur, such as SIS commands from other Telnet sockets or a serial port. For a Telnet session to receive change notices, the Telnet session must be in verbose mode 1 or 3. In verbose mode 1 or 3, the Telnet socket reports changes in messages that resemble SIS command responses.

Host-to-device Communications

Space

The commands listed in the following tables perform the same functions, but are encoded differently to accommodate the requirements of each port (Telnet or browser).

SMD101-initiated Messages

The SMD101 initiates messages under specific conditions. No response is required from the host. The SMD101-initiated messages are listed here (underlined).

Vn.nn is the firmware version number.

The SMD 101 sends the boot and copyright messages under the following circumstances:

• If the SMD 101 is off and an RS-232 connection is already set up (the PC is cabled to

the SMD101 and a serial communication program such as HyperTerminal is open), the connected unit sends these messages via RS-232 when first powered on.

• If the SMD101 is on, it sends the boot and copyright messages when a Telnet

connection to the SMD101 is first opened. The day of the week, date, and time are shown when the SMD101 is connected via Telnet, but not via RS-232. If using a Telnet connection, the copyright message, date, and time may be followed by a password prompt.

Password Information

The

Password: prompt requires a password (administrator level or user level) followed by

a carriage return. The prompt is repeated if the correct password is not entered.

Using the Command and Response Tables

SIS commands consist of a string (one or more characters per command field). No special characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. When the SMD101 determines a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), signaling the end of the response character string.

When programming, certain characters are more conveniently represented by their hexadecimal rather than ASCII values. The table below shows the hexadecimal equivalent of each ASCII character:

ASCII to Hex Conversion Ta ble

Figure 53. ASCII to Hex Conversion Table

61SMD101 • Remote Communication and Control

The Command and Response tables list valid ASCII (for Telnet or RS-232) command codes, the corresponding URL (uniform resource locator) encoded (for Web browsers) command codes, the SMD101 responses to the host, and a description of the command function or the results of executing the command.

Change any non-alphanumeric character (%, +, }) within the data section into the corresponding hexadecimal equivalent, %xx, where xx represents the two-character hex byte. For example, a space (hex: 20) is encoded as %20, and a plus sign (hex: 2B) is encoded as %2B.

Simple Control Port Commands - Telnet and Web-browser Accessible

Upper and lower case text can be used interchangeably except where noted. Port 23 is default for Telnet. Port 80 is default for web browsers. They both can be mapped to different ports.

The following commands are for either a Telnet (port 23) or web browser (port80) connection. There are minor differences when implementing these commands via Telnet or via URL encoding using a web browser. All commands listed will work using either connection method but due to some limitations of the web browser, the encapsulation characters must be modified to be certain the web browser will properly handle them. All examples are shown in a proper implementation of a Telnet or web browser session.

NOTE: When using web browsers, some non-alpha numeric characters must be

represented as their hex equivalent such as %xx where xx equal the two character representation of the hex byte that needs to be sent (a comma ‘,’ would be represented as %2C). Characters such as ‘%’ (percent), ’+’ (plus) and ‘ ‘ (space) should also be encoded in Hex.

Optimum Network Share Performance

For optimum performance, the PC used for network file sharing should be a dedicated server. In smaller systems using a desktop PC, the computer must be configured for the task. You may need to allocate additional resources on the PC by setting the following registry key to 3:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\Size.

Image quality and playback can be compromised when files are uploaded to the player during active playback.

Network Shares Dialog

The SMD101 network shared folder dialog provides options for flexibility within the SMB/CIFS protocol (see Play Video from a Network Share on page51). You can add a credentials file, change the port mapping, configure security related features, and add security mode settings. Other options provide the ability to set the read/write mode, filename character remapping, and control over filename case sensitivity. The options field is not normally required. If the network connection fails, or you cannot access a server folder, contact your network administrator to determine if these options are necessary for your network.

SMD101 • Reference Information 85

Glossary

Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) — A standardized compression and encoding scheme for lossy (low quality) digital audio. Higher bit rates provide higher quality. Part of the MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 specifications. The SMD101 supports AAC-LC (MPEG-2 part 7, MPEG-4 part3, sub-part4 and part 14, MP4 audio).

Advanced Video Coding (AVC) — Video compression format, H.264/MPEG-4 part 10. See the H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) definition.

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) — A protocol for assigning an IP address to a device based on the device MAC (Media Access Control) address or physical machine address, that maintains a table showing the correlation between the two.

B-frames — Bi-predictive frames (B-frames) reference video frames before and after the current frame. They offer significantly better compression than I or P frames, but are not available in Baseline profile.

Bandwidth — A measure of available (or used) data communication resources. The total range of frequencies or bit rate required to pass a specific signal without significant distortion or loss of data. The maximum bit rate at a specified error rate, expressed in bits per second (bps). The device bandwidth should be wider than the highest possible bandwidth of the signals it could be required to process.

Bit rate — The number of bits that are conveyed or processed per unit of time. Bit rate is quantified using the bits per second (bit / s) unit, often in conjunction with an SI prefix such as kilo- (kbit / s or kbps), mega- (Mbit / s or Mbps), or giga- (Gbit / s or Gbps).

Codec — A hardware device or software program used to encode or decode a digital data stream or signal. Loosely, a combination of coder-decoder or compressor-decompressor.

Compression — Reducing the amount of data required to represent a picture (or a stream of pictures) and sound before sending or storing it.

Constant Bit Rate (CBR) — This scheme adjusts the output bit rate so that it stays very close to the specified target bit rate.

Constrained Variable Bit Rate (CVBR) — This scheme is similar to Variable Bit Rate (VBR), but sets a maximum allowed bit rate that the encoder cannot exceed.

Data bits — The number of bits used to represent one character of data. Data bits can be 7, 8, or 16, but most serial devices use 8 bits for ASCII characters.

DDC — Display Data Channel (DDC) is a bi-directional communications standard developed by VESA ( Video Electronics Standards Association) that defines a universal data transmission standard for the connectivity between display devices and computers.

Decoder — A hardware device or software program used to decompress (decode) or change a signal from one format to another or convert a digital signal into analog. The SMD101 is a decoder that converts compatible digital AV streams into a video and audio HDMI signal or to HDMI AV plus analog audio.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) — A network protocol that enables a server to automatically assign unique network addresses (IP address, subnet mask, gateway) to a device using a defined range of numbers configured for the network.

Domain Name System (DNS) — A database system that translates domain names (such as www.extron.com) into IP addresses.

Dynamic IP address — An IP address that is automatically assigned to a client device in a TCP/IP network, typically by a DHCP server. Network devices that serve multiple user, such as servers and printers, are usually assigned a static (unchanging) IP address.
