Fail Over
In this panel (see

stream is interrupted before the SMD switches to an alternative source which can be a
solid color on the screen or any source from a specified source path. The time to wait after
the stream is lost, the solid background color that plays in the event of stream loss, and
an alternate source clip, image, playlist, or stream on the local drive can be selected here.
Settings include :
Display Solid Color — The length of time after a stream loss before a solid color screen is
output to the connected display. Click the After checkbox to activate the fail over mode.
Select the time after the stream loss is detected before the solid screen is output.
Color — The color of the fail over output. There are three choices:
•
Black presents a black screen.
•
Blue with OSD bug displays a blue background with the message:
SMD101: No Source Input.
Custom allows selection of a solid color background using the drop-down palette or by
•
entering the hex value of the desired color directly into the field.
NOTE: The hex value uses HTML formatting with a # prefix (#RRGGBB). For
example, cyan is #00FFFF.
Source from Path Below: — Select a clip or image to display upon entering fail over
mode. Although not a requirement, the alternative is ideally located on internal or local
removable (such as the SD card) storage, to remove dependence on the network. The
SMD 101 does not automatically revert from the fail over source to the primary source
if it becomes available. External control system monitoring can achieve this operation if
required. Right-click the file and select Set as Failover Play or cut and paste the file into
the field. Alternately, click Source from Path Below: and type the folder location of the file
into the entry field (see
