SME 100 • Setup Guide The Extron SME 100 is a live streaming media encoder that interfaces with DVI, RGB, HDTV, and standard definition signals for delivering media over IP networks. It features a three input video and audio switcher, plus buffered loop-throughs for simplified 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 definition and standard definition output rates. The SME 100 SD (part number 60-1061-02) supports standard definition 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.

RS-232 Connected Device SME100 (j)

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 configuration 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 NetworkConnect 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 flickers as the SME 100 actively communicates with a network.

Step 6 — Connect Control PC and Viewing Devices to the SME 100 NetworkConnect 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 DevicesConnect 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 UpWhen 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 configured), the default display cycle is shown on the LCD display. The default display cycle shows the model name/firmware 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).

Configuring the Network Settings of the SME 100 Using the Front PanelThe SME 100 contains several primary configuration menus and one hidden menu that are available on the front panel LCD display. In order to access the web-based user interface of the SME 100, the network settings may need to be configured. The SME 100 is pre-configured with the following network settings:

IP address: 192.168.254.254 Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0 Gateway address: 0.0.0.0

NOTE: With these settings, the control PC and viewing devices must use IP addresses within the range of 192.168.0.1 through 192.168.254.253 and use the same subnet mask.

Use the following procedure to configure the network settings of the SME 100, if necessary.

1. Press the Menu button repeatedly until the View Comm Settings menu is shown on the LCD display.

2. Press and hold the Next and Input 3 button simultaneously for approximately three seconds. This changes the View Comm Settings menu to the Edit Comm Settings menu.

3. Press the Next button repeatedly to cycle to the IP address (IP), subnet mask (SM), and default gateway (GM) submenus.

4. Change the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway as necessary (default values shown). To configure the addresses:

z Cycle to the desired octet by rotating the left Adjust knob ([).

z Adjust the value of the octet by rotating the right Adjust knob ({).

5. Save the network settings by pressing the Menu button. The network settings of the SME 100 are now configured.

About the Web-based User InterfaceThe web-based user interface is used to view, configure, and control the SME 100. This section details how to access the web-based user interface and install media player software. For more information on using the web-based user interface, see the SME 100 User Guide.

NOTE: SME 100 firmware versions 2.0 and higher use the Extron streaming media player (SMP) available for download from the SME 100 file management page or from the SME 100 download page at www.extron.com.

Accessing the Web-based User InterfaceOpen a web browser (Microsoft® Internet Explorer® version 7 or higher is recommended) on the control PC or viewing device and type the IP address of the SME 100 into the address bar (for example, http://192.168.254.254). The Live View page appears in the browser (see figure 1).

NOTE: The SME 100 can also be accessed in Windows using Firefox® (version 15 or higher), or Chrome™ (version 21 or higher) and on a Mac® OS® platform (version 10.6 or higher) using Safari® (version 5.1 or higher). See the SME 100 User Guide at www.extron.com for current compatibility.

Installing Media Player SoftwareThe SME 100 requires a media player plugin to view live streams. Extron recommends using the Extron SMP plugin for streaming. Use the following procedure to install the SMP plugin.

NOTE: VLC media player® and QuickTime® media player are compatible with the SME 100. For information on installing either player, see the SME 100 User Guide.

1. Access the web-based user interface of the SME 100 (see "Accessing the Web-based User Interface" above).

2. From the Live View tab (a in figure 1 and figure 2), two screens may appear. If a blue player window is displayed (see figure 1), it means a version of SMP media player is already installed and nothing more needs to be done. If the screen shown in the Live View tab in figure 2 appears, click the first here link (b).

3. A File Download window appears. Click the SMP-1.0.0.2-win32.exe file to download and start the SMP media player installation. Follow the directions on the remaining prompts to install the player.

4. After the media player installation has finished, close and restart the browser. Optionally, you can reboot the control PC or viewing device.

5. Access the web-based user interface (see "Accessing the Web-based User Interface" above). The Live View page should now contain a blue player window (see figure 1). Click the Play icon to view a live stream.

NOTES: •When a live stream is played, by default it uses the

unicast RTP transport protocol. To change the transport protocol and other various settings on the SME 100, click on the Configuration tab, then click on the Encoder Settings link on the left sidebar.

•Clicking on the © icon located in the upper right hand corner of the web page lists the licensed third-party software that is used by the SME 100.
