SMD 202

H.264 Streaming Media Player and Decoder

Streaming media comes in many different formats, and its presentation requirements vary greatly across applications. Encoded media files can be played back in a presentation, or live events may be streamed over an enterprise network. Extron’s SMD 202 H.264 Streaming Media Player and Decoder provides the flexibility and performance required to integrate media playback and live streaming into many different professional AV applications.

The SMD 202 plays back media files from internal, local, or network storage, and it decodes live H.264 streams. It can also present a locally connected AV signal. The SMD 202 supports use of a wide range of media file container formats and streaming protocols making it adaptable for use with a variety of encoded media. Advanced signal processing, scaling, and aspect ratio management deliver high quality signals to AV displays. The SMD 202’s multi-language on-screen display – OSD, provides an intuitive interface for setup and source selection from the front panel or a handheld remote. Designed for use in professional AV systems, the SMD 202 can be managed using Ethernet, RS-232, or wired IR control connections.
