Extron Electronics SME 100 User Guide - Manual (Page 10)

Features
• Streams DVI, RGB, HDTV, and video signals with audio over IP networks.
• Inputs — DVI-D with loop-through; universal 15-pin HD input with loop-through for
RGB, HD component video, S-video, or composite video; BNCs with loop-throughs for
component video, S-video, or composite video.
• Outputs — Ethernet for streaming H.264 / MPEG-4 AVC encoded video.
• Standards-based H.264 / MPEG-4 AVC video compression — The SME 100
employs high, main, and baseline profiles of the H.264 / MPEG-4 AVC compression
standard, which are compatible with many different platforms including desktop and
laptop PCs. SME 100 streams can easily be viewed on PCs using web browsers and
software media players such as VLC media player
® , QuickTime ® , and the Extron SMP.
• Integrated three-input AV switcher — The SME 100 accepts commonly used
video signal formats together with stereo audio, from DVI to analog RGB and
composite video. The universal video input can accept a variety of analog formats and
automatically detect between them.
• Buffered input loop-throughs for video and audio — Each input has a buffered
loop-through. This allows the SME 100 to be integrated into a new or legacy system
without the need for additional AV equipment (such as distribution amplifiers).
• Supports input signal resolutions up to 1920x1200, including HDTV 1080p/60 —
The SME 100 supports a wide range of input resolutions, from standard definition up to
the high resolutions commonly used for computer-video and HDTV.
• DVI, RGB, HDTV, and standard definition video upscaling and downscaling —
DVI, RGB computer-video, high definition video, and standard definition video sources
can all be scaled to a range of defined streaming resolutions. The SME 100 features an
advanced scaling engine that preserves image quality when upscaling or downscaling
an input signal.
• Auto input format detection — The universal video input on the SME 100 can detect
the incoming signal format and automatically reconfigure itself to provide the appropriate
decoding and signal processing. This feature can reduce the number of required
outputs for a matrix switcher, lowering system cost while improving manageability.
• Auto-Image™ setup — When activated, the SME 100 automatically analyzes the
incoming video signal and then automatically adjusts sizing, centering, and filtering to
optimize image quality. This can save time and effort when fine tuning displayed images.
• Selectable streaming output resolutions from 166x120 to 1024x768, and
HDTV 720p/30 and 1080p/30 — Available output rates include various resolutions
optimized for mobile or compact devices, or computer-video (from 166x120 to
1024x768, and HDTV 720p and 1080p). Frame rates can be adjusted from 30 fps
down to 1 fps.
• AAC audio encoding — Variable audio compression is available to support different
streaming bit rate requirements.
• Encoding quality controls — Several user controls are available to adjust encoding
quality including video resolution, video bit rate, frame rate, constant or variable bit rate
control, GOP length, and audio bit rate.
• Presets for quick recall of profiles based on target resolution or bit rates — The
SME 100 provides 16 presets for saving encoder control settings. This allows a user to
quickly switch between various encoder profiles based on resolution or bit rates. Nine
presets on the SME 100 HD and six presets on the SME 100 SD are predefined for
common streaming applications.
