SMP 111 • Introduction 7
Control Options
The SMP111 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 SMP111 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 SMP111 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 SMP111 or the RCP 101
record control panel.
• Click the Record ( ) button in the AV Controls panel of the SMP111 embedded
web pages (see Start an AdHoc Recording on page36) 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 SMP111 creates recordings by:
• Encoding the content into stream (see Encoder Settings and Metadata on
page49).
• 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 page56 for how to set the default recording
storage location).
The SMP111 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 page55 for details).
Output and share recordings
Recording files can be saved in the SMP111 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.
