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.

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).
zConnect a video output device to the component, S-video, composite BNC buffered loop connectors (c).
zConnect a video output device to the 15-pin HD buffered loop connector (e).
zConnect a high resolution digital output device to the DVI buffered loop connector (g).
zConnect audio output devices to the buffered loop audio captive screw connectors (i) using cables with balanced or
unbalanced 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connectors. See the image below to wire the connectors.
ATTENTION: For unbalanced audio, connect the sleeves to the ground contact. DO NOT connect the
sleeves to the negative (–) contacts.

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).

NOTE: The front panel buttons on the SME 100 can be locked so that configuration using the front panel is not
possible. Refer to the SME100 User Guide for more information.
Conguring the Network Settings of the SME 100 Using the Front Panel
The SME 100 contains several primary conguration 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 congured.
The SME 100 is pre-congured 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 congure 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 congure the addresses:
zCycle to the desired octet by rotating the left Adjust
knob ([).
zAdjust 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 congured.

About the Web-based User Interface
The web-based user interface is used to view, congure, 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 Interface
Open 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 gure 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 Software
The 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 (ain gure 1 and gure 2), two screens
may appear. If a blue player window is displayed (see gure 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 gure 2 appears,
click the rst here link(b).
3. A File Download window appears. Click the SMP-1.0.0.2-win32.exe le 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 nished, 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
gure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 Conguration 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.
