Extron electronics SMP 111 User Manual

SMP111 • Reference Information 117
iCalendar file — An iCalendar file is a file containing schedule, task, or meeting information
in a standard format. iCalendar files work independent of transport protocol and can be
used cross‑platform to share calendar data.
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) — A TCP/IP communications protocol
used by hosts and adjacent routers on a network to establish multicast group memberships.
When the SMP111 is connected to a streaming media server, the IGMP multicast protocol
is used to pull RTSP streams. The IGMP multicast protocol conserves network bandwidth
because the streaming media server only connects to the SMP111 when the connection to
the streaming media server is made by the 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.
Internet Protocol (IP) — The primary protocol that establishes the Internet. It defines
addressing methods and structures for datagram encapsulation, allowing delivery of packets
from a source to a destination across an internetwork based purely on addressing.
Intraframe (I-frame) — In video compression schemes, intraframes (I‑frames) are primary
frames that contain the full spatial resolution and data of a video frame.
IP address — A numerical label using the Internet Protocol assigned to devices in a
network. The IP address for the source and destination are included in an IP datagram. A
unique, 32‑bit binary number (12‑digit dotted decimal notation — xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) based
on version 4 of the Internet Protocol (IPv4) that identifies each sender and each receiver
of information connected to a LAN, WAN, or the Internet. IP addresses can be static (see
Static IP on page 119) or dynamic (see DHCP on page 115).
Java™ — A class‑based, object oriented programming language developed at Sun
Microsystems
®
, Inc. (merged with Oracle
®
Corporation). Programs written in Java can run
on multiple platforms.
JavaScript
®
— A scripting programming language adding interactive features to web
pages.
LAN — Local Area Network. A computer network that connects devices in a limited area,
such as a building or campus, using network equipment that does not include leased
communications lines.
Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) — The maximum packet size allowed in a network
data packet.
Media Access Control (MAC) — A unique hardware number given to devices that
connect to the Internet. When your computer or networking device (such as a router, hub,
or interface) is connected to the Internet, a table (see ARP on page 114) relates the IP
address of the device to its corresponding physical address on the LAN on page 117. This
protocol allows for several terminals or network nodes to communicate within a multi‑point
network, typically a local area network.
Metadata — A metadata record consists of attributes to describe another object. The
Dublin Core Metadata Element Set contains 15 generic elements for describing resources:
Creater, Contributor, Publisher, Title, Data, Language, Format, Subject, Description,
Identifier, Relation, Source, Type, Coverage, and Rights.
MPEG-2 — The video compression algorithm used for DVD‑Video, Digital Broadcast
Satellite (DBS), and Digital TV (including HDTV) delivery systems.
MPEG-4 — A patented collection of methods defining compression of audio and visual (AV)
digital data. MPEG‑4 allows higher amounts of data compression and encoding efficiency
than MPEG‑2. It also includes support for digital rights management and for interactive
multimedia applications.
MPEG‑4 uses include compression of AV data for streaming media on the web; CD,
HD DVD, or Blu‑Ray Disc distribution; voice (telephone, videophone) distribution; and
broadcast television applications.
