SME 100 Stream Discovery
For SME 100 stream discovery in the SMD 101 stream browser window (see
on page 29), the SME 100 must have both Stream Control and
SAP Control enabled. 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 in figure 98 that shows the SME 100 settings.

To enable the SME 100 stream discovery:
1.
In the
Stream
Control
(
1
) drop-down list, select
Enable
.
2.
In the
SAP
Control
(
2
) drop-down list, select
Enable
.
3.
Enter a
Destination
IP
address (
3
).
4.
Enter a
Destination
Port
(
4
).
NOTE:
Choose a
Destination
IP
and
Destination
Port
which avoid conflict with
other multicast devices on your network.
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, double-click the stream, or drag and drop the stream anywhere on the
Player
Controls
NOTE:
Some encoders offer both unicast and multicast RTSP streams at the same
URL. In this case the SMD 101 must request the multicast stream (recommended
for large systems with networks designed for multicast traffic). This setting allows the
decoder to make a specific request for a multicast stream when it is available. If the
request fails, the SMD 101 reverts to the unicast stream.
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.
