SME 100 • Setup Guide

The Extron SME 100 is a live streaming media encoder that interfaces with DVI, RGB, HDTV,
and standard denition signals for delivering media over IP networks. It features a three input video and audio switcher, plus
buffered loop-throughs for simplied integration into AV systems. The SME 100 uses H.264 / MPEG-4 AVC encoding to output an
IP stream over the Internet (or over an intranet) that can easily be decoded and viewed on PCs or H.264 compatible devices.

The SME100HD (part number 60-1061-01) supports both high denition and standard denition output rates. The SME100SD
(part number 60-1061-02) supports standard denition output rates only.

This guide provides basic instructions for an experienced installer to set up and operate the SME 100. Installation and service
must be performed by authorized personnel only.

NOTE: See the SME 100 User Guide for complete installation, configuration, operation, and mounting

information. The user guide is available at www.extron.com.

Installation

Step 1 — Mount the SME 100

Turn all devices off and unplug their power cords. Verify that the SME 100 is disconnected from
the power source. Mount the SME 100 to a rack using the mounting brackets included with the
unit (see image at right).

Step 2 — Connect Input Devices

Connect input devices to at least one of the following connectors.

z Connect a video input device to the component, S-video, or composite BNC connectors

(input 1; b). See the examples below to connect the necessary signal format.

Step 3 — Connect Buffered Loop Output Devices (Optional)

If necessary, connect output devices to the following buffered loop connectors. Buffered loop connectors output the input video
that is connected to a similar input connector (for example, BNC buffered loop connectors output BNC video).

Step 4 — Connect RS-232 Control Device (Optional)

If necessary, connect a host computer or control system to the RS-232 connector (j). Use this port to send Simple Instruction
Set (SIS™) commands to the SME 100 for device conguration and control. The default protocol for this port is:
9600 baud rate, no parity bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no flow control (handshaking).

Step 5 — Connect the SME 100 to the Network

Connect one end of an RJ-45 cable to the Ethernet connector (l) on the SME 100. Connect the other end of the RJ-45 cable to
a router or switch to connect the SME 100 to a network.

The LEDs on the Ethernet connector indicate the status of the network connection. The green LED lights when connected to a
network. The amber LED ickers as the SME 100 actively communicates with a network.

Step 6 — Connect Control PC and Viewing Devices to the SME 100 Network

Connect one end of an RJ-45 cable to a control PC or viewing device. Connect the other end of the RJ-45 cable to a router or
switch to connect the control PC or viewing device to the network.

Step 7 — Power On the SME 100 and All Devices

Connect a standard IEC power cord into the AC power connector (a) of the SME 100 and plug it to a 100 to 240 VAC,
50 Hz or 60 Hz power source. Connect the power cords of the input and output devices and turn them on.

Powering Up

When applying power to the SME 100, the unit undergoes a self-testing sequence (see the image below). After the testing
sequence is complete (and when the device is not being congured), the default display cycle is shown on the LCD display.
The default display cycle shows the model name/rmware version, active input/output signal format, active input/horizontal and
vertical scan rate, stream mode/output resolution,
and stream method/AV bit rate in kilobits per second (Kbps).
