Tip

The Extron SMD 202 is a compact, high performance media player and live stream decoder
for H.264 streaming applications. It provides the exibility to present a locally connected AV signal, decode a live streaming
source, or play back media les from internal memory, removable SD card, local USB, or network storage. The SMD 202 supports
a wide range of media le container formats and streaming protocols, making it adaptable for use with a variety of encoded
media. Advanced signal processing, scaling, and aspect ratio management supply high quality signals to AV displays. An intuitive,
interactive on-screen menu provides easy setup and source selection using front panel buttons or the optional handheld IR
remote control. Designed for pro AV applications, the SMD 202 can be controlled using Ethernet, RS-232, IR, or wired IR.

Install the SMD202

Before mounting and connecting the SMD202, turn off all devices that will be connected to it. The SMD202 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 location, then choose an appropriate mounting option.

Make all external device connections before applying power.

Control System and External Device Connections

The SMD202 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202.

USB host port – Connect a USB compatible storage device to this port (see figure 1, B on page 1).

B

SD Card slot – This slot supports SD, SD-HC, and SD-XC card types up to 512 Gigabyte card capacity and Class

C

10(UHS-1) data rates up to 25 Mbytes/sec (see figure 1, C on page 1). Mounted media is listed in the user le system
under the media folder. The media folder and contents are accessible from the File browser of the default Web interface
(see Connect to the SMD202 and Play a File or Stream: on page6).

IR In – Connect an (optional) IR receiver to this 3-pole 3.5 mm captive screw connector

H

to extend the range of the optional IR remote control (see gure at right). The handheld IR
remote provides access to the on-screen menus for conguration and for direct control
over playback (see the SMD202 User Guide).

RS-232 — To control the SMD202 using SIS commands over RS-232, connect the

I

host RS-232 cable to the rear panel (see the gure at right) with a 3-pole captive screw
connector for bi-directional (±5V) serial host control. The default protocol for this port is
9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no flow control (handshaking).

Reset button and LED — The SMD202 has four reset modes to restore default

J

conguration settings or all settings back to factory defaults (see gure at right). The
LED indicates the desired reset mode, and provides the reset status during the reset
operation. For information on using the reset mode, see the SMD 202 User Guide.

RJ-45 Ethernet connector (LAN) — Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect to a

K

network (see illustration at right). The table (right) includes the default network settings
of the SMD202.

The left side (amber) LED indicator on the LAN connector blinks in a pattern to indicate
the network link speed.

• Three blinks, pause — 1 Gbps

• Two blinks, pause — 100 Mbps

• One blink, pause — 10 Mbps

Output Connections

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

E

connected display is read and the output automatically congured. For non-standard displays or devices, see the SMD202
User Guide for additional output resolutions and format settings.

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, G on page 1). 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.

• Pour l’audio asymétrique, connectez les manchons au contact au sol. Ne PAS connecter les manchons aux

contacts négatifs (–).
