SME100 Stream Discovery
For SME100 stream discovery in the SMD101 stream browser window (see Browser
Panel - Streams on page19), the SME100 must have both Stream Control and
SAP Control enabled. Figure 49 shows the SME100 settings. From the SME100 default
web page (see the SME100 User Guide), select the Encoder Configuration link, then
Encoder Settings to open the configuration dialog shown in figure 49 below.

Figure 49. SME100 Encoder Configuration Panel (Partial View)
In both the Stream Control and SAP Control drop-down lists, select Enable. Choose a
Destination IP and DestinationPort which avoid conflict with other multicast devices
on your network, then enter them into the appropriate fields.
With SAP Control enabled, the SME100 session name (Test Pattern 1) is listed in the
SMD101 stream browser page in the Extron folder. To connect the stream, from the
browser, drag and drop the stream anywhere on the Player Controls panel (see Player
Controls on page16).
RTSP Multicast (Pull Streaming)
If an SME100 is configured for RTSP multicast, the SMD101 must still connect to it using
the SME100 IPaddress (for example rtsp://192.168.254.100/extron) rather than
the typical multicast IP address (for example rtsp://239.10.193.165).
If the SME100 is set up for push streaming (Stream Control Enable), the RTSP bitrate is
limited to 5Mbps 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 SMD101 decoder, each SME 100 must use a unique
port number (such as 60000 and 61000)
Multicast
For systems where streams from one or more SME100s are received and decoded by
multiple SMD101s, multicast addressing is strongly recommended. All network switches
must be suitably rated and correctly configured for IGMP snooping and multicast filtering
with an active IGMP querier (possibly the network switch) available on the local subnet for
optimum performance.
