Operation With Extron SME100 Encoders
For SME100 stream discovery in the SMD101 streams browser (see figure 5 on page 4), the SME100 must have both
Stream Control and SAP Control enabled to enable SAP announcements. The SME100 settings are shown below.
From the SME100 default web page (see the SME100 User Guide), select the Encoder Conguration link, then
Encoder Settings to open the conguration dialog shown in gure 6 below.

In both the Stream Control and SAP Control drop-down lists, select Enable. Choose a Destination IP and
DestinationPort which avoid conict with other multicast devices on your network, then enter them into the
appropriate elds.
With SAP Control enabled, the SME100 stream (Test Pattern 1) is listed by the SMD101 stream browser in the Extron
folder. To connect the stream, from the browser, drag and drop the stream anywhere on the Player Controls panel
(see Play a Stream: on page4).
RTSP Multicast (Pull Streaming)
When using RTSP multicast from an SME100, the SMD101 must still connect to it using the SME100 IPaddress (for
example rtsp://192.168.254.100) rather than the typical multicast IP address (for example rtsp://239.10.193.165).
If the SME100 is set up for push streaming (Stream Control Enable), the RTSP bitrate is limited to 5Mbps on startup or
restart. Although it can be higher, it is not recommended.
If higher bitrates are required, only a single stream method should be active.
Push Streaming (Unicast Port Numbers)
In systems with more than one SME 100 encoder using any of the unicast push methods (TS/UDP, TS/RTP, ES/RTP) to a
single SMD101 decoder, each SME 100 must use a unique port number (such as 60000 and 61000). See the SMD101
User Guide for additional information.
Multicast
For systems where streams from one or more SME100s are received and decoded by multiple SMD101s, multicast
addressing is strongly recommended. All network switches must be suitably rated and correctly congured for IGMP
snooping and multicast ltering with an active IGMP querier (possibly the network switch) available on the local subnet
for optimum performance.
