5.21 Working with SMIL
The player uses open communications protocols for content presentation and playback control. SMIL-compliance means predictable results across multiple devices, and SMIL’s non-proprietary nature means that your investments are never obsolete.
5.21.1 Introduction check font
Using SMIL (pronounced “smile”), the language created by W3C for multimedia communications, the media player understands the language “spoken” by professional tools from companies such as Adobe, Apple, Microsoft, and Real Networks. What this means is quicker, easier, and better integration of your players into your digital signage networks, opening up avenues of software controls and realizing the full potential of your player hardware down the road.

5.21.2 www.a-smil.org for developers
The media player operating system utilizes W3C SMIL as the underlying scripting language, which lends well to customization to your project management needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What video format can I play?

Video files encoded in MPEG-4 AVC up to 1920x1080 resolutions and bitrates should play perfectly. If a certain video is not played as scheduled, or if it plays poorly, search the support site for “transcode” instructions.

What should I do if I forgot my password?

Perform a factory reset. Use the S/W RESET button located at the back of the media player to restore factory settings. This also clears the player’s password.

How do I manage the playback of contents?

The media appliance is designed to be interoperable with leading 3rd party management software solutions or via SMIL open standard commands.

Can the player display Flash or Microsoft PowerPoint presentations?

The player features limited PowerPoint support, but not Flash support. While PCs can play many formats with varying degrees of success, RISC-based media players are designed to reliably play specific video formats (see spec for details). While Microsoft PowerPoint native files cannot play directly on a RISC- based player, the file can be converted (i.e. Manager Express) into an image format to be played as an image slideshow.

Why won’t some media files play properly?

The video data bit-rate used may have exceeded the recommended bit rate. The video data bit-rate is the amount of video or audio data used per second to store or play the contents, usually expressed in Mbps (mega-bits per second). Video encoded with excessive bit-rates does not playback smoothly in the media player, likely due to storage I/O bottleneck. Visit www.KramerAV.com for compatible media format presets. The media playback looks different on a PC compared to the media player’s screen. (Wrong aspect ratio) There are two major aspect ratios (width-to-height ratios) for video content, but many kinds of displays. If you play 4:3 video on a 16:9 display (or vice versa), a circle becomes oval, and the picture takes on a squeezed or stretched look. To avoid this distorted look, adding black bars is a common technique. The Network Media Player can be configured to automatically add black bars for certain types of displays. You can set the output resolution in the player’s configuration menu to match the native resolution of your display. Some JPEG images cannot be played in the media player. Progressive JPEG files are not supported. Convert to baseline JPEG for maximum compatibility. JPEG images can be either of 2 types: baseline or progressive compression. Baseline JPEG offers greatest compatibility, while progressive JPEGs are suitable for Web site images. Progressive images are downloaded and displayed “progressively,” being rendered more clearly as more data is received over the internet. Progressive images are primarily supported on PCs. For media appliances, make sure to save images as baseline JPEG in your photo editor, or resave them as baseline JPEGs using free tools such as IrfanView (www.irfanview.com/ ).

Does the media player support video streaming?

No. Media players play files from local storage and do not support real-time video streaming over the network. This delivers an optimum viewing experience free of playback quality issues such as stuttering, blocking, or blue-screens.

The player is not playing. What should I do?

Play list errors and scheduling issues are two major causes of playback problems. To determine if the problem is caused by a bad playlist, just delete the playlist and restart the player. The player should loop through all media files, indicating a fault with the play list. If the playback is scheduled to play at specific time, check to see if the device is set to the right time zone on the world clock. If nothing seems wrong, the time zone setting is often the reason the program is not played.

The video is playing but I can’t hear any sound, what should I do?

Check volume (mute) settings on monitor.
