The Planar ContentSmart Media Player (MP-3450) is designed to work with 3
rd
party management solutions.
Please refer to the printed ContentSmart Software Guide for related set up instructions.
4. Authoring in HTML5
A major feature of the MP-3450 media appliance is the ability to playback HTML5 content which can contain
dynamic information.
5. Working with SMIL
The MP-3450 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.
5.1. Introduction
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
TM
, Apple
TM
, Microsoft
TM
, and Real Networks
TM
.
What this means is quicker, easier, and better integration of your media player into
your digital signage networks, opening up avenues of software controls and realizing
the full potential of your player hardware down the road.
5.2. 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. For resources, downloads, and community support, please
