About the SME 100
The SME 100 is a live streaming media encoder that interfaces with DVI, RGB, HDTV,
and standard definition signals for delivering media over IP networks. It features a three-
input video and audio switcher, plus buffered loop-throughs for simplified integration into
AV systems. The SME 100 uses H.264 / MPEG-4 AVC encoding to output an IP stream
over the intranet or the Internet that can easily be decoded and viewed on PCs or H.264
compatible devices.
