A
Power LED — Dual color LED lights solid green when the SMD101 is powered. Lights
solid red when standby mode is active.
B
Playback status indicator — Dual color LED indicates playback operation:
• Solid Green — The SMD101 is actively decoding a source (clip, image, or
stream).
• Blinking Green — A source (clip, image, or stream) is loaded but paused.
• Off — Playback has stopped.
• Solid Red — Unable to load (or play) the selected source.
C
Network status indicator — Dual-color LED indicates network operation and
connection or stream quality:
• Solid Green — Indicates network conditions are favorable for the current source.
The LED is also green if the current source is a local file (see Browser Panel -
Files on page20).
• Red/Green — When flashing red and green, indicates encoder or network
conditions could compromise image or audio quality, and buffers could be
depleted.
• Red — When lit, indicates degraded server or network conditions are
compromising video or audio quality and may have depleted the buffers.
• Off — No network connection.
NOTE: In many cases, the error correction features of the SMD101 allow good
image quality even when degraded network conditions are indicated.
