Select Audio Output
User can choose either digital (HDMI/DP) audio or analog audio (phone jack). If you connect more than one screens to an SMP player, all digital audio will have the same outputs simultaneously in Clone/Extend mode. In Distinct mode, the sounds of each individual screen (digital output only) can be split for certain models. Please refer to the following comparison table:
| Model | Digital Audio Connection Type | Distinct Mode | Clone/Extended Mode |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMP-2100 | HDMI x 2 |
|
Mixed sound to all HDMI audio |
| SMP-2200 | HDMI x 2 | Separate sound | Mixed sound to all HDMI |
| SMP-2210 | HDMI x 2 | Separate sound | Mixed sound to all HDMI |
| SMP-2300 | HDMI x 3 | Separate sound (HDMI 3 supports video output only, no audio output) |
Mixed sound to all HDMI (HDMI 3 supports video output only, no audio output) |
| SMP-2310 | HDMI x 3 | Separate sound (HDMI 3 supports video output only, no audio output) |
Mixed sound to all HDMI (HDMI 3 supports video output only, no audio output) |
| SMP-6000 | HDMI x 1 | N/A | N/A |
| SMP-8000 | DP x 4 | Mixed sound to all DP audio | Mixed sound to all DP audio |
| SMP-8000QD | DP x 4 | Mixed sound to all DP audio | Mixed sound to all DP audio |
| SMP-8100 | HDMI x 4 | Depend on Playback settings* | Mixed sound to all HDMI audio |
* Audio output corresponds to the Playback settings. For example:
HDMI1 and HDMI2 together form Playback1, which corresponds to a single output on these two screens.
HDMI3 and HDMI4 together form Playback2, which corresponds to a single output on these two screens.

Touch Screen
After connecting a touch screen to the SMP player, you can check the model of the screen in the left column and select a video output mapping to the touch screen in the right column.
Calibration is not necessary for most touch panels that CAYIN tested, so you can use Auto-detect for most cases. However, you still can enter proper parameters for the touch screen in the right column.
| Auto-detect | Automatically read parameters from the Touch controller. This is the default setting. |
|---|---|
| Configure manually | Enter suitable X and Y axis parameters here. You can consult the touch screen manufacturer or press Crtl+F8 to try it by yourself. |
If you need to calibrate your touch screen which is mapping to HDMI2, we strongly suggest you change the display mode to Single mode before the calibration. Then, switch back to the display mode you were using (e.g. distinct or extended mode) after you calibrate the touch screen successfully.
