Extron electronics SMP 300 Series User Manual

Encoding Presets
Encoding presets are combinations of settings for audio and video encoding. The recording
uses the highest quality signal encoding (archive encoding), and the preview (confidence
view) displayed within the embedded web pages uses the lowest quality encoding
(confidence encoding) of the encoding streams.
• SMP 351 models support up to two encodes (archive and confidence), one recording,
one local output, and live streams simultaneously.
• SMP 352 models and SMP 351 models with LinkLicense support up to three
encodes (archive A, archive B, and confidence), two recordings, one local output, and
live streams simultaneously.
NOTE: In composite mode, the video encoding resolution of the archive encoder must
always be higher than or equal to that of the confidence encoder.
Any of the default encoder presets or user-created presets can be recalled and applied to
a recording session (archive encoder) and stream using the embedded web pages. Presets
can also be recalled using the front panel menu and controls (see Presets Menu on
page28) or SIS Commands (see the Presets on page124).
NOTE: Encoding presets must be selected prior to the start of a recording. You cannot
change encoding settings during an active recording. For custom resolutions, the
resolution height and width must be specified before the custom rate can be used.
The first 18 presets are factory set. Presets 1 through 9 are for popular, general AV uses
with settings from 1080p High (1080p resolution at 8000 Kbps) to Confidence (515x288
at 350 Kbps). Presets 10 through 18 provide convenient settings that make it easy to
integrate the SMP into an Opencast system, especially when using dual channel encoding.
Some are tailored for speaker flavor, some for presentation flavor. Factory defined
presets 33 through 42 support Panopto quality settings. For more information, see the
SMP300SeriesEmbedded Web Pages Help File.
NOTE: Some of the parameters available on this page can also be set individually using
front panel controls.
An overview of encoding
Each of the two encoders for the SMP300 Series can be used for multiple purposes. The
table below shows how each encoder is typically used and the differences. For details, see
the SMP300SeriesEmbedded Web Pages Help File.

Archive Encoding
• One stream for SMP 351
models and all models in
composite encoding mode
• Two streams (channel A,
channel B) for dual encoding
mode in SMP352 models
and SMP 351 models with
LinkLicense
Recording
Refresh rate: 5 to 30 fps
Highest quality and
resolution
Local HDMI output through
the rear panel Output
(preview) port
Refresh rate: 50 or 60 Hz.
Does not use the compression
settings specified in the archive
encoder preset. This output
bypasses compression and
encoding.
Live stream via the LAN
port and network if using a
decoder application
Refresh rate: 5 to 30 fps (same as
the recording stream)
Confidence Encoding
Preview window in the AV
Controls panel
For composite
encoding mode,
confidence encoding
must always be
the same or lower
resolution than archive
encoding

port and network if using a
