General Product Overview
Input
The SMP111 has one HDMI input and one analog audio captive screw input.
Signals from the input channel and metadata (descriptive information about data content)
are combined in a user-configurable layout and encoded into streams.
Encoding and Output
The SMP111 supports simultaneous streaming and recording, with one HDMI output. The
record and stream encoder settings can be configured as different bit rates, resolutions, and
frame rates.
The HDMI output defaults to the record settings.
See the An overview of encoding on page50 for a comparison of the two encoding
types. The video output can be scaled and its aspect ratio modified. The SMP111 also
outputs high quality encoded HDMI video with embedded audio on a single output for
display on any HDMI display, supporting resolutions up to 1920x1080 at 60 Hz.

File Storage
Internal storage is available for storing recordings to be uploaded to a file server. The
SMP111 has a 32GB SD card internally, which is field upgradable to different storage
sizes (see Upgrading the SD Card on page111). You can view the total storage size in
the storage information table found on the File Management embedded web page (see
Storage Information in the Help file) or in the storage information table found on the
Device Status embedded web page.
Two USB ports (one on the front panel, one on the rear panel) provide a connection for
portable, user-provided USB drives for storing recordings.
The optional RCP 101 also has a USB port to connect a user-provided USB drive for storing
recordings.

SMP 111 • Introduction 7
Control Options
The SMP111 can be controlled using the following:
• Front panel controls.
• Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands sent over Ethernet via the LAN connection, over
RS-232 via the rear panel Remote captive screw connector, or over USB via the front
panel Config port.
• Ethernet connection to the SMP111 embedded web pages.
• Front and rear USB ports provide for direct connection of a keyboard and mouse to
permit the use of an internal browser client. This allows limited web page configuration
of the network settings for the device.
• The optional Extron RCP 101 record control panel connected through the rear panel
Remote Control port.
Recordings
The core function of the SMP111 is to create recording files from connected audio and
video input sources.
Start a recording
Recordings are initiated manually in one of several ways:
• Press the Record ( ) button on the front panel of the SMP111 or the RCP 101
record control panel.
• Click the Record ( ) button in the AV Controls panel of the SMP111 embedded
web pages (see Start an AdHoc Recording on page36) and set the options in the
Encoding & Metadata window.
• Tap a control button on a configured record control panel (such as an Extron RCP 101).
Make a recording
The SMP111 creates recordings by:
• Encoding the content into stream (see Encoder Settings and Metadata on
page49).
• Creating a set of files — one or more .m4v, .mp4, or .m4a files and other files containing
metadata, thumbnail images, and optional chapter markers. These files are stored either
within the unit (the internal, default location), or on an optional USB drive (see Setting
the Default Recording Media on page56 for how to set the default recording
storage location).
The SMP111 creates a set of the same types of files for every recording, regardless of how
a recording is initiated. Default file names are specified within the System Settings page (see
System Settings on page55 for details).
Output and share recordings
Recording files can be saved in the SMP111 internal memory and on an optional
connected USB drive. Recordings stored internally (not on a USB drive) can also be
automatically uploaded to a network server folder.

SMP 111 • Introduction 8
NOTES:
• When integrated with an Opencast and Entwine, Kaltura, or Extron ECM server,
recordings are automatically uploaded to the server location defined.
• To upload recordings for other scheduling or integration methods, specify a
publishing destination during system setup (FTP, SFTP, or CIFS/Windows Net Share
server folder).
Uploading recordings to a server allows you to archive or share files with others who are
authorized to access that folder or to use tools such as Extron Streaming Content Manager
(SCM) and Entwine EMP.
• Streaming Content Manager checks the designated network server locations for new
recordings, packages SMP111 recording files with a player application (Extron Media
Player) and additional information, and automatically distributes recording packages to
event presenters via a secure web page interface.
• Entwine EMP is a tightly-integrated end-to-end software solution that facilitates the
capture, management, and playback of media files from meetings, lectures, and other
live events. Current, previously recorded, or archived media files can be added to
Entwine EMP, making everything accessible from a single point. Entwine EMP ensures
recordings with metadata are packaged for playback within the player environment.

ATTENTION:
• Do not tin the wires. Tinned wires are not as secure in the captive screw
connector and could pull out.
• Ne pas étamer les câbles. Les câbles étamés ne sont pas aussi bien fixés dans
les connecteurs des à vis captives et pourraient sortir.
• The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is important. The ideal
length is 3/16 inch (5 mm). If longer, the exposed wires may touch, causing a
short circuit between them. If shorter, the wires can be easily pulled out even if
tightly fastened by the captive screws.
• La longueur des câbles exposés est importante lorsque l’on entreprend de les
dénuder. La longueur idéale est de 5mm (3/16inches). S’ils sont un peu plus
longs, les câbles exposés pourraient se toucher et provoquer un court circuit.
S’ils sont un peu plus courts, ils pourraient sortir, même s’ils sont attachés par
les vis captives.
Output Connection
EHDMI output — Connect an HDMI (or DVI with suitable adapter) display device to
the HDMI output connector. The preview output switches between the record preview
content and the internal browser using an attached USB keyboard and mouse.
