  • Page 68: Add A Network Share

    Add a Network Share Network servers or network-attached storage drives (network shares) can be added to the file list so the SMP 111 can access files and folders stored on shared network resources. NOTE: The size of network shares is initially unknown and there can be significant performance issues if the entire contents of every network share is indexed on every filter or search request.

  • Page 69: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting The five pages within the Troubleshooting tab contain controls typically used during initial setup to test connections, and then later if a product support issue arises. They make it possible for a user logged in as an administrator to view current system conditions and connections, view event logs and alarms, test network connections, and reset the unit.

  • Page 70: Status

    Status The Status page within the Troubleshooting tab displays factory-defined and user-defined information about the unit. This page contains the unit name, part number, firmware version, MAC address, location description, and related information about the unit. It also displays the current audio bit rate and the video bit rates for all encoding streams. Some of the information in this page can also be found using SIS commands (see Command and Response Tables on page 75).

  • Page 71: Logs

    Logs The Logs tab within Troubleshooting displays a list (log) of alerts and notices for any event set up for any status other than Disabled in Configuration > Alarms and Traps > Alarm Message panes. All log entries are read-only. The logs can be sorted, filtered, searched, or exported to a comma-separated values (CSV) file.

  • Page 103: Port Number

    Port Number A port number is combined with the IP address to create an application‑specific or process‑specific address. The port number can uniquely identify an application or process on a computer and thereby enable the computer to share a single Ethernet connection for multiple requirements.

  • Page 105: Multicast Ip Addressing For Multiple Smp 111 Installations

    Multicast IP Addressing for Multiple SMP 111 Installations When multiple SMP 111 devices are installed in a system (when the multicast address is used for push or pull streaming) the streams are managed by the SMP 111 to avoid conflicts. Pull streaming (RTSP) The SMP 111 can use one of two multicast streaming IP address assignment methods.

  • Page 106: Streaming Method Overview

    Streaming Method Overview The streaming method used by the SMP 111 should be considered carefully. Multicast is typically used for live multicasting a "one‑to‑many" session when it is known there will be multiple viewers of a stream. Unicast streaming is used for on‑demand video where the network infrastructure does not support multicast traffic.
  • Page 107 NOTE: IGMP multicast protocol is used by routers and switches to deliver streams to subscribing endpoints. The SMP 111 delivers packets and frames onto the network that are identified as multicast. An IGMP multicast conserves network bandwidth because the SMP 111 will only send data when a connection is made by a user. All network switches and routing equipment must be properly configured to support IGMP snooping and IGMP query to avoid flooding all endpoints with unnecessary streaming traffic.

    Streaming Playback Methods Streams from the SMP 111 can be viewed using various playback methods. NOTE: The procedures presented in the following sections use a Microsoft Windows operating system and version 2.0.2 of VLC media player. These procedures may vary when a different operating system is used or when different versions of the VLC media player are used.

  • Page 117: Estimating Storage Requirements For A Recording

    Estimating Storage Requirements for a Recording Estimating Storage per Recording Hour You need to know video and audio bit rates configured in your Extron SMP 111. For these examples, the calculations assume that the bit rates remain constant during the recording. If you are using VBR (variable bit rate, which is the default) then the actual bit rates are often slightly lower than this estimate.

Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) — A standardized compression and encoding scheme for lossy (low quality) digital audio. Higher bit rates provide higher quality. Part of the MPEG‑2 and MPEG‑4 specifications.
  • Page 122 Constant Bit Rate (CBR) — Constant bit rate encoding means that the rate at which codec output data is consumed is constant. CBR is useful for streaming multimedia content on data communication channels which operate more efficiently or require the bit rate to remain within a tight tolerance.

A single stream is sent from the source to a group of devices at the same time in one transmission. Delivery is managed by network switches using the most efficient strategy to deliver the messages over each link of the network only once, and creating copies only when the links to the group of destinations split.
