Mode for IT technicians to manually assign static IP addresses and other settings for the SMARTplayer.

Important note: Changes take effect only after saving and restarting the SMARTplayer.

 

Audio #

Minimum Volume #

This setting defines a minimum volume and is especially useful when multiple employees operate the sound system. The master volume in the Live view cannot go below the set level.

Analog Input Gain #

The gain control adjusts the input signal of low-volume audio sources from -12 dB to +32 dB. This function is available only for the SMARTplayer’s analog input, with a default setting of 6 dB.

Cinch Socket Input (for ANALOG IN) #

Select the analog input signal (default: Mono). For a single-channel audio source, you can choose the corresponding channel (Right or Left) to double the volume.

Switch Input (EVAC) #

The switch input allows connection to existing EVAC systems. By default, the SMARTplayer is supplied with a clip that bridges the two contacts. Removing this clip, the player is muted. According to the EVAC standard, a closed contact means music continues; in case of fire, the contact opens. If your EVAC system works differently, it can be adjusted here. Warning: This is a potential-free contact—applying voltage may cause damage and is not covered by the warranty.

Important note: Restart the SMARTplayer for changes to take effect.

 

File #

For playback of MP3 files from a micro SD card (not included)

Important note: After inserting the micro SD card, the SMARTplayer must be restarted to access the files. This also applies after removing and reinserting the card. The micro SD card should be formatted as FAT32 and have a maximum capacity of 32 GB.

Upload MP3 files #

Upload and transfer local MP3 files to the micro SD card. Depending on the file size, this process may take a few minutes. Afterwards, the file can be added as an audio source under Sources.

 

Source #

In this tab, you will find pre-configured audio sources. Activating a source makes it available for selection in the SMARTplayer Live view. When using a SMARTstreamer, it transmits on CHANNEL 1 by default, which is also received on CHANNEL 1 of the SMARTplayer. No additional settings are required. This applies to CHANNEL 1–6.

Activate audio source #

To activate an additional source, select it and slide the toggle to the right. Confirm the change by clicking Apply Changes.

Create a new audio source #

Click the +, select the desired audio source type, and enter the required data. Then click Create Source to add the new audio source. It will then be available for selection in the Live view

Webstream #

Create a digital music source by entering the corresponding URL. If the URL is protected with a username and password, use the format: http://Username:Password@Url. The SMARTplayer only supports unencrypted mp3-streams. If only an encrypted https URL is available, remove the ‘s’ to disable encryption. A large selection of radio stations can be found at http://fmstream.org/.

Additionally, the input gain can be adjusted (default: -10 dB). You can also set up a backup source that will play automatically if the web stream is interrupted, e.g., due to an internet outage.

Click here to watch the video.

SMARTstream #

Creating additional digital music sources for transmission within the network from one SMARTstreamer to several SMARTplayers or other SMARTstreamers. This is only required if the preconfigured CHANNELS 1 to 6 are not sufficient. In this case, use multicast addresses, e.g., 239.10.140.30:42735, and number them sequentially: 239.10.140.31:42735, 239.10.140.32:42735, etc. Add this audio source to all devices that should send or receive the channel.

SMARTstream Peer to Peer #

To establish a direct connection between the SMARTstreamer and the SMARTplayer, create a new CHANNEL on both devices and enter the IP address of the other device.

File (Micro SD card) #

To play MP3 files from a micro SD card (not included): select the desired file, adjust the input gain (default -10 dB), and choose the action to be performed after playback.

Important note: After inserting the micro SD card, the SMARTplayer must be restarted to access the files. This also applies after removing and reinserting the card. The micro SD card should be formatted as FAT32 and have a maximum capacity of 32 GB.

End Action #

Audio In #

Create an analog audio source via a cable connection to the SMARTplayer’s RCA input (already preconfigured as ANALOG IN).

Stop #

Create a stop source (audio playback stops – already preconfigured as STOP).

Delete audio source #

To delete an audio source, select the desired source and click Delete Source.

Important note: The audio source currently selected in the Live view cannot be deleted.
