Working with SMIL

The XDS-151 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.

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.

The media player utilizes W3C SMIL open standard, making it easier to customize to your project management needs.
