SME 100 Stream Discovery
For SME 100 stream discovery in the SMD 101 stream browser window (see Browser
Panel - Streams on page 19), the SME 100 must have both Stream Control and
SAP Control enabled. Figure 49 shows the SME 100 settings. From the SME 100 default
web page (see the SME 100 User Guide), select the
Encoder Configuration link, then
Encoder Settings to open the configuration dialog shown in figure 49 below.

In both the Stream Control and SAP Control drop-down lists, select Enable . Choose a
Destination IP and Destination Port which avoid conflict with other multicast devices
on your network, then enter them into the appropriate fields.
With SAP Control enabled, the SME 100 session name (
Test Pattern 1 ) is listed in the
SMD 101 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 page 16).
RTSP Multicast (Pull Streaming)
If an SME 100 is configured for RTSP multicast, the SMD 101 must still connect to it using
the SME 100 IP address (for example rtsp://192.168.254.100/extron) rather than
the typical multicast IP address (for example rtsp://239.10.193.165).
If the SME 100 is set up for push streaming (
Stream Control Enable ), the RTSP bitrate is
limited to 5 Mbps 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 SMD 101 decoder, each SME 100 must use a unique
port number (such as 60000 and 61000)
Multicast
For systems where streams from one or more SME 100s are received and decoded by
multiple SMD 101s, 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.
