Extron electronic SMD 101 User Manual

SMD101 • Setup Guide

The Extron SMD101 decodes video or graphics streams from an IP network, plays back internal video and audio les, and plays Video On Demand les 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 1-inch high, 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.

ATTENTION:

• Always use a power supply provided by or specied by Extron.

Use of an unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certication and may cause damage to the supply and the end product.

• Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable

for use in air handling spaces or in wall cavities. The power

supply is to be located within the same vicinity as the Extron AV processing equipment in an ordinary location, Pollution Degree 2, secured to the equipment rack within the dedicated closet, podium, or desk.

• The installation must always be in accordance with the

applicable provisions of National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 75 and the Canadian Electrical Code part 1, section

16. The power supply shall not be permanently xed to building structure or similar structure.

Output Connections

b HDMI output – Connect an HDMI (or DVI with suitable adapter) display device to the HDMI output connector. The EDID of a

connected display is read and the output automatically congured. For non-standard displays or devices, see the SMD101 User Guide for additional output resolutions and format settings.

c Audio output – Connect a balanced or unbalanced stereo (or dual mono) line level audio device to this 5-pole 3.5 mm

captive screw connector (see ﬁgure 1, c on the previous page). Wire the connector as shown in gure 3, below.

ATTENTION: For unbalanced audio, connect the sleeves to the ground contact.

DO NOT connect the sleeves to the negative (–) contacts.

NOTES:

• The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm). If longer,

the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. If shorter, the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.

• Do not tin the wires. Tinned wire does not hold its shape and can become loose over time.

Control System Connections

The SMD101 can be congured and controlled from the RS-232 port or the front panel mini-type B USB cong port using DataViewer, or from the LAN port using a standard web browser. Since the LAN port must be connected for streaming source input, Extron recommends also using it for conguration and remote control of the SMD101.

d IR In – Connect an (optional) IR receiver to this 3-pole 3.5 mm captive screw connector to extend the range of the IR hand

control. The optional IR hand control provides access to the on screen menus for conguration and direct control over playback.

e RS-232 — Connect the host RS-232 cable to the rear panel (see right) with a 3-pole

RS-232

captive screw connector for bi-directional (±5V) serial host control or IPpass-through. The default protocol for this port is 9600 baud rate, no parity bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no flow control (handshaking).

NOTE: To connect the SMD101 directly to a computer Ethernet port, use a

crossover Ethernet cable.

The ACT (amber) LED indicator on the LAN connector blinks in a pattern to indicate the connected network speed.

• Three blinks, pause — 1 Gigahertz

• Two blinks, pause — 100 Megahertz

• One blink, pause — 10 Megahertz

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

b Playback 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.

c Network 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 le.

• Red/Green – When ashing 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.

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

e Config 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 conguration and control.

SMD101 Conﬁguration

The SMD101 can be congured and controlled using a web-browser. To congure 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

• Microsoft

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

gure 5 on page 4).

5. Congure the SMD101 using the Conguration, and Advanced Conguration pages. See the SMD101 User Guide at
