The page contains multiple panels that are collapsed and expanded using the buttons at the top of each panel (see figure 11, 1 and 2). An interactive embedded help file is always available by clicking the help icon (see figure 11, 3) from any page or panel. 1 Figure 11.
Player Page Click the Player tab (see figure 13). This page has four panels; Player Controls, Browser, Lists, and Playlist Editor described in the following sections. Each panel expands or collapses to provide additional screen space and can have second level tabs. Figure 13. Player Controls Page Player Controls The Player Controls panel allows the user to select a source (clip, stream, or playlist), monitor the playback video, and control playback.
Status indicator and Player Controls — Text above the controls (figure 14, 1) indicates the current decode state (stopped, paused, or playing). 2 3 1 Playing 4 5 6 1 Stopped 7 8 Figure 14. Player Control Buttons The controls are: 2 Return — If pressed within five seconds after the clip begins, returns to the previous clip or stream and plays. If pressed after five seconds, returns to the beginning of the clip or stream and plays. 3 Play — Begin normal playback. 4 Pause — Pause playback.
Source field When a source (clip or stream) loads, this field displays the path and file name. Click (...) to the right of the text field to open a dialog displaying paths and file names too long for the field. A source can be loaded by any of these methods: • Click and hold, then drag a source from the browser to this field. • Use to copy, then to paste a URI or URL directly into the field.
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.
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.
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.
Lists The Lists panel features an editable channel list for use with the optional IR remote control (see IR Remote Control on page 56), a drag and drop favorites list for convenient access of frequently played files, and the playback history. By default the player page opens with the Lists panel expanded to the right of the browser. NOTE: M3U, M3U8, and PLS playlist formats do not support Playlist Title or Playlist Creator metadata. Text entered in those fields is not retained.
To clear an item, select the item, then click Delete>Delete Selected. To clear all items, click Delete>Delete All. NOTE: Channel, Favorite and History lists are imported or exported using the Configuration panel found on the Firmware Loader page of the Advanced Configuration page. Lists Panel – Favorites The Favorites tab displays a list of user defined favorite clips (see figure 20). Favorites are clips, streams, or playlists more frequently played by the user.
Lists Panel – History The History tab displays a list of previously played clips, playlists, or streams with details of the data and time the item played and the URI of the item, grouped by time period. Figure 21. Lists Panel, History Tab Fields below the history list show the date and time of the selected item along with the URI. The URI can be copied or edited to create a new URI, which can be loaded and played (the original entry remains unchanged).
Playlist Editor By default, the Player page opens with the Playlist Editor open (see figure 22). 1 2 3 4 Figure 22. Player Page, Playlist Editor Playlists are stored in local media and are found using the files tab of the browser. Select a playlist on the Files tab of the Browser panel (see figure 22, 2). The playlist opens in the Playlist Editor panel for viewing or editing. The name of the currently selected playlist is on the title bar at the top of the Playlist Editor panel (4).
The playlist title, creator, track title, track duration, and URI of a currently selected clip in the playlist are shown in the Playlist Properties panel. If an attempt is made to add an unsupported clip, an error message (“unsupported file format”) is presented. NOTE: Playlist level metadata is not supported in M3U, M3U8, and PLS format playlists. file:///clips/hd_other.ts Figure 23.
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.
Configuration Page The Configuration tab provides controls on the global navigation bar to adjust basic features of the SMD 101. The controls are in four groups; Video, Audio, On Screen Display, and Automation accessed from a ribbon toolbar across the top of the screen (see figure 24).

Reference Information This section provides information about: • Parts and Accessories • Mounting the SMD 101 • SMD 101 Reset Summary • Optimum Network Share Performance • Configuring Windows 7 for Network File Sharing • Copying Config Files Using Internet Explorer • DataViewer • Glossary Parts and Accessories Several parts and accessories are available for the SMD 101 including: • IR Remote Control • Wired IR sensor kit • Multiple outlet power supply • False plates to fill out rack s
Rack Mounting For optional rack mounting, do not install the rubber feet. Mount the SMD 101 on a 19 inch universal or basic rack shelf. Follow the instructions included with the rack mount kit to install the SMD 101. UL Rack Mounting Guidelines The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the safe installation of the SMD 101 in a rack. 1.
SMD 101 Reset Summary The SMD 101 can be reset to default states using the rear panel reset button, the Reset Device page of the user interface, and SIS commands. Each reset affects different configurations and local files, resetting some to factory condition and retaining others. The reset mode summary table below details the activation, results, and purpose of each rear panel activated reset mode.
The web-based user interface explains what is retained by each reset. The following table outlines configuration settings and files affected by the SIS command and rear panel resets. In general, configuration settings and files can be: • Retained (not affected by the reset). • Reset to factory (the original factory firmware replaces the current). • Erased (the configuration settings or files are deleted).
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.
Configuring Windows 7 for Network File Sharing The SMD 101 can access shared folders and files of devices on the same network running various operating systems. PCs running Windows 7 must specifically share the folder to make it available to the SMD 101. The following instructions show how to share a folder on the network to make it available to the SMD 101. To create and share a folder, start with step 1. If the folder already exists on the PC, navigate to the folder and begin with step 2. 1.
4. Check the Share this Folder box in the upper left, then click Permissions. 5. The Permissions for Media dialog box opens. In the Group or user names: panel, select Everyone. 5 6 7 6. In the Permissions for Everyone panel, under the Allow column, check the Read box, then click Apply. NOTE: To reduce the chance of unintentional or unauthorized changes, Extron recommends only Read access to folders and files that are shared on the network. 7.
8. In the Media Properties dialog, select the Security tab. 8 9 9. In the middle of the dialog, click Edit (see above). The Permissions for Media dialog box opens. u u 10. In the Group or user names: panel, select System, then click Add.
11. In the Enter the object names to select (examples): field, enter Everyone, then click Check Names. Everyone is underlined. £ ¤ 12. Click OK. The Security dialog box opens. 13. In the Permissions for Everyone panel, under the Allow column, if they are not already, make certain Read & execute, List folder contents, and Read are checked. ¥ ¦ ¦ 14. Click Apply, then OK to exit the Security dialog box.
This completes the folder sharing permissions. Close all open dialog boxes. Next the sharing properties must be configured. 1. In the control panel, click Network and Internet. 2. Click Network and Sharing Center. 3. Click Change advanced sharing settings on the left side of the dialog. 4. Click on the down arrow icon to expand the Home or Work option.
5. On the expanded Home or Work panel make the following selections: • Network Discovery = On • File and Printer Sharing = On • Public Folder Sharing = On • File Sharing Connections = Enable File Sharing for Devices that use 40- or 56- bit encryption. • HomeGroup Connections = Allow Windows to manage homegroup connections. • Password Protected Sharing = Off (this selection may or may not be visible). 6. Click Save Changes, then close the control panel.
Copying Config Files Using Internet Explorer Internet Explorer does not automatically save the SMD 101 config files to the host computer (see Configuration panel on page 37), but attempts to open them instead. The box.cfg and ip.cfg files must be saved using a text file copy. To save a configuration file using IE: 1. Open the web-interface for the SMD 101 (see Accessing the Web-based User Interface on page 14). 2. Open the Advanced Configuration page (see Advanced Configuration Page on page 34). 3.
DataViewer DataViewer is an enhanced terminal emulation program that facilitates analysis of RS-232, USB, and TCP/IP communication with Extron devices. The software allows users to send commands to a device and view the responses in ASCII or hexadecimal format. Command and response logs can be saved in text or HTML format. DataViewer is available at www.extron.com. Download the installation file and load the program on the PC connected to the SMD 101. Starting the DataViewer program 1.
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.
Elementary Stream — Raw H.264 video or raw AAC audio, not wrapped by additional headers. Encoder — A hardware device or software program used to compress (encode) or change a signal from one format to another or convert an analog signal into a digital data stream. The SME 100 is an encoder that converts analog audio and video into digital streams.
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) — A TCP/IP communications protocol used by hosts and adjacent routers on a network to establish multicast group memberships. When the SMD 101 is connected to a streaming media server, the IGMP multicast protocol is used to pull RTSP streams. The IGMP multicast protocol conserves network bandwidth because the streaming media server only connects to the SMD 101 when the connection to the streaming media server is made by the user.
Network Address Translation (NAT) — A network protocol that allows multiple devices to have their own, individual, private addresses, but they share one public IP address (IPv4) for connection to the internet or other networks. Network Time Protocol (NTP) — A protocol used for synchronizing the clocks of computer systems over networks. Parity (or Parity checking) — An error detection technique that tests the integrity of the digital data being sent. Parity can be set to None, Even, or Odd.
Static IP address — An IP address specifically (instead of dynamically [see "DHCP"]) assigned to a device or system in a network configuration. This type of address requires manual configuration of the network device or system and can only be changed manually or by enabling DHCP. Stop bits — The bit or bits transmitted that signal the end of a character. Typically set to 1. Streaming Media Player (SMP) web browser plugin — The Extron SMP web browser plugin (V1.
