4. Working with SMIL
The XDS-101 uses open communications protocols for highly flexible content presentation and
playback control. SMIL-compliance means predictable results across multiple devices, and SMIL’s
non-proprietary nature means that your investments are never obsolete.
4.1. Introduction
Using SMIL (pronounced “smile”), the language created by W3C for multimedia communications, the
media player understands the language “spoken” by professional tools from companies such as
Adobe, Apple, Microsoft, and Real Networks. What this means is quicker, easier, and better
integration of your players into your digital signage networks, opening up avenues of software
controls and realizing the full potential of your player hardware down the road.
4.2. Playing a SMIL demo
The demonstration files can be found in the Software and Documentation CD .
Step 1: Prepare contents using a PC
Prepare a formatted USB drive (using the “ FAT32 ” file system
option). Copy the entire sample SMIL directory with all its content
files from
Software and Documentation CD to the USB drive.
Make sure the SMIL directory shows up in the root directory of
the USB drive.
Step 2: Upload contents to player
Power up the XDS-101. Booting takes about 90
seconds. When the orange boot indicator lamp goes
out, insert USB drive into the USB port to begin upload.
All files under the SMIL directory will be copied to the
player and the sample contents will begin to play.
