About the SMP300 Series
The Extron SMP 300 Series is a compact, high performance H.264 recording and streaming
processor that provides the ability to record a presentation and output an HDMI signal to a
local display, and, if needed, stream the AV content live while recording.
Six versions of the SMPmodels, with varying internal file storage capacity, are available:
• SMP351 (150 GB and 480 GB)
• SMP351 3G-SDI (150 GB and 480 GB)
• SMP 352 (480 GB)
• SMP 352 3G-SDI (480 GB)
NOTE: The SMP models have similar front and rear panel features and function exactly
the same. The SMP3513G-SDI and SMP 352 3G-SDI support a 3G-SDI video input.
Figure1 on page2 shows an SMP 351 application that utilizes Channel A HDMI and an
audio loop-out for local display of the computer input. The presentation is then streamed to
an SMD 101.
Figure2 on page2 shows a typical SMP 352 application featuring a computer input
with embedded audio, an SDI camera input, and a wireless microphone for audio. The
presentation is streamed to a SMD 101 and the SMP 352 records both channels and
publishes to the Kaltura cloud hosted service. The SMP 351 models can be upgraded to
support SMP 352 features through a LinkLicense upgrade.
