SMD 202 • Setup Guide
The Extron SMD 202 is a compact, high performance media player and live stream decoder
for H.264 streaming applications. It provides the flexibility to present a locally connected AV signal, decode a live streaming
source, or play back media files from internal memory, removable SD card, local USB, or network storage. The SMD 202 supports
a wide range of media file container formats and streaming protocols, making it adaptable for use with a variety of encoded
media. Advanced signal processing, scaling, and aspect ratio management supply high quality signals to AV displays. An intuitive,
interactive on-screen menu provides easy setup and source selection using front panel buttons or the optional handheld IR
remote control. Designed for pro AV applications, the SMD 202 can be controlled using Ethernet, RS-232, IR, or wired IR.
Install the SMD 202
Before mounting and connecting the SMD 202, turn off all devices that will be connected to it. The SMD 202 is housed in a 1-inch
high, half-rack width, 6-inch deep metal enclosure that can sit on a table with the provided rubber feet or can be rack mounted.
Select a suitable location, then choose an appropriate mounting option.
Make all external device connections before applying power.
