• EDID Minder automatically manages EDID communication between connected
devices — EDID Minder automatically manages EDID communications between
devices, ensuring use of optimal signal formats.
• Audio input gain and attenuation — Gain or attenuation can be adjusted for each
input signal to eliminate noticeable differences when switching between sources, or
adjusting audio levels for the output stream.
• Picture controls for brightness, contrast, signal sampling, and overscan —
16user memory presets are available for each input to store all image settings.
• Aspect ratio control — The aspect ratio of a source window can be controlled by
selecting a Fill mode, which provides a full screen output, Follow mode, which preserves
the aspect ratio, or Fit mode, which maintains image uniformity and zooms into the
source.
• HDCP authentication and signal presence confirmation — Provides real-time
verification of HDCP status for each digital video input and output signal. This allows
for easy signal and HDCP verification through RS-232 or Ethernet, providing valuable
feedback to a system operator or help desk support staff.
• HDCP Visual Confirmation provides a green signal when encrypted content
is sent to a non-compliant display — A full-screen green signal is sent when
HDCP-encrypted content is transmitted to a non-HDCP compliant display, providing
immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on the display.
• Quad standard video decoding — The SMP351 uses a digital, five-line adaptive
comb filter to decode NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, and PAL for integration into systems
worldwide.
• Internal test patterns for setup — The SMP351 offers eight test patterns as well as
on-screen display (OSD) data overlay including timestamp, time and date, and system
information to aid in calibration and setup of the encoder.
• Front panel security lockout — This feature locks out all front panel functions except
for input selection; all functions however, are available through IP and RS-232 control
via SIS commands, and the embedded web pages.
• Ethernet monitoring and control — The SMP351 is controllable over Ethernet,
supporting configuration and real-time management from a control system.
• Embedded Web interface — The SMP351 provides an intuitive Web interface with
an embedded video window for viewing the live stream, as well as source input and
encoding adjustments.
• RS-232 control port — Using serial commands, the SMP351 can be controlled and
configured via the SIS command protocol, a set of basic ASCII code commands that
allow for quick and easy programming.
• USB keyboard and mouse ports — Configure and control the SMP351 and system
settings using a keyboard and mouse viewing the embedded Web page from the HDMI
output connection.
• Includes LockIt HDMI cable lacing brackets
• Rack-mountable 1U, full rack width metal enclosure
• Internal universal power supply — The 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, international power
supply provides worldwide power compatibility.
