Extron Electronics SME 100 User Guide - Manual (Page 11)

• Auto Input Memory — When activated, the SME 100 automatically stores size,
position, and picture settings based on the incoming signal. When the same signal is
detected again, these image settings are automatically recalled from memory.
• EDID Minder ® — Automatically manages EDID (Extended Display Identification Data)
communication with connected DVI and VGA input sources. EDID Minder ensures that
all sources power up correctly and reliably output content, whether or not they are
actively connected to the display device through the input loop-throughs.
• Glitch-free switching — Switching between inputs is glitch-free and uses a cut
transition. Presentations are enhanced by eliminating distracting visual jumps, glitches,
and distortion commonly experienced when switching between computer and video
sources.
• Power save mode — The SME 100 can be configured to enter power save mode
when no device activity is detected for seven minutes. Starting a stream, configuring the
unit using the web-based interface or the front panel, or communicating with the unit
using the Config port or RS-232 port causes the SME 100 to exit power save mode
and return to normal operation.
• Audio switching — The SME 100 features audio switching for three stereo balanced
or unbalanced input sources with buffered loop-throughs.
• Audio breakaway — The SME 100 can break an audio signal away from its
corresponding video signal, allowing it to be encoded for streaming with a different
video input.
• Audio input gain and attenuation — Gain or attenuation can be adjusted for each
input to eliminate noticeable differences when switching between sources, or adjusting
audio levels for the output stream.
• User-adjustable audio delay — Audio delay can be adjusted to adapt the streamed
output to different network conditions.
• Image controls and presets — Several user controls are available to adjust the image
quality including brightness, contrast, color, tint, detail, as well as horizontal and vertical
positioning, sizing, and zoom; 16 user memory presets are available for each input to
store all image settings.
• Automatic film mode processing — The SME 100 offers advanced processing
techniques (such as 3:2 pulldown detection) that help maximize image detail and
sharpness for NTSC, PAL, and HDTV 1080i sources that originated from film.
• Advanced deinterlacing — The SME 100 outputs optimized image quality from
sources (including cable or satellite set-top boxes) by using advanced motion adaptive
deinterlacing for 1080i and standard definition signals.
• Aspect ratio control — The aspect ratio of the streamed output can be controlled by
selecting a FILL mode (which provides a full screen output) or a FOLLOW mode (which
preserves the original aspect ratio of the input signal).
• Quad standard video decoding — The SME 100 uses a digital, five-line adaptive
comb filter to decode NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, and SECAM for integration into
systems worldwide.
• Internal test patterns for calibration and setup — The SME 100 offers 15 test
patterns and an on-screen display (OSD) data overlay. The OSD provides information
that is used to assist with calibration and setup of the SME 100 including time stamp,
average bit rate, frame rate, and general system information.
• Front panel security lockout — This feature locks out all front panel functions; all
functions however, are available through RS-232 control.
• Ethernet monitoring and control — The SME 100 can be controlled and actively
monitored over a network.
