    The SMP 300 Series can accept up to three HDMI inputs and one component or composite video input. The SMP 351 3G-SDI and SMP 352 3G-SDI are identical to the SMP 351 and SMP 352 except that they include the 3G/HD/SDI input (input 5). Both models accept digital audio embedded on HDMI signals or analog audio input via captive screw connectors.

  • Page 139: Ip Addressing

    IP Addressing What is an IP Address? A full explanation of IP addressing is beyond the scope of this user guide. However, the following information is enough to get started. An IP address is a 32‑bit binary number that is used to identify each device on an Ethernet network.

  • Page 140: Subnet Mask

    Subnet Mask The subnet mask is a 32‑bit binary number used to "mask" certain bits of the IP address. It extends the number of network options available for the IP address. The subnet mask does this by allowing part of the host identifier to be used as a subnetwork identifier. It is important that the correct value is used for the subnet mask.

  • Page 141: Using The Ping Utility To Test Communications

    — There has been no response from the specified address. Either • Request timed out the processor is not receiving data (from the computer) or is not sending data back. Check that the device is powered on and set to the same address that was pinged. Also, check that the device is correctly connected to the network.

  • Page 143: Streaming Method Overview

    Streaming Method Overview The streaming method used by the SMP 300 Series 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 144: Unicast Streaming Method - An Overview

    NOTE: IGMP multicast protocol is used by routers and switches to deliver streams to subscribing endpoints. The SMP 300 Series delivers packets and frames onto the network that are identified as multicast. An IGMP multicast conserves network bandwidth because the SMP 300 Series will only send data when a connection is made by a user.

  • Page 145: Streaming Playback Methods

    Streaming Playback Methods Streams from the SMP 300 Series 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 146: Push Stream And Pull Stream Playback Urls

    Push Stream and Pull Stream Playback URLs To verify a running stream, use the templates below to place the stream into the VLC "Open Network Stream" dialog (see step 5 of Playing a Pull Stream Using VLC Media Player on page 142). Substitute the SMP IP address for <SMP35x_IP>. Substitute the destination IP address and port number for <DESTINATION_IP>:DESTINATION_PORT.

  • Page 147: Streaming Capabilities And System Scalability

    NOTES: • <SMP35x_IP> is the IP address of the SMP 300 Series. • For push URLs, the Destination Port is the lowest port in the Port Range set from the web page. • UDP://@:DESTINATION_PORT default is UDP://@:12340. • Some dependencies may apply with certain versions of VLC. •...
