Make a recording

The SMP351 creates recordings by:

• Scaling and arranging the content from one or both AV input channels (A and B) and

the optional background .png file as defined by the selected layout preset (see Layout

presets on page99)

• Encoding the content and layout into two encoding streams (archive and confidence)

as configured by the encoding presets (see Encoder Settings and Layout Presets

Overview on page90)

• Creating a set of files — one or more .m4v 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 destination on page117 for how to set the default recording storage

location.

The SMP351 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 Set a default recording file name on page120 for details).

Output and share recordings

Recording files can be saved in the SMP351 internal memory or on an optional connected

USB drive. Recordings stored internally (not on a USB drive) can also be automatically

uploaded to a network server folder.

NOTES:

• When integrated with an Opencast server, both adhoc and scheduled recordings

are automatically uploaded to the server location deﬁned during the scheduling

setup (see Scheduling with an Opencast server on page71).

• To upload recordings for other scheduling or integration methods, specify a FTP,

SFTP, or CIFS/Windows Net Share server folder during system setup (see Add a

Network Share on page136).

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) software. Streaming Content Manager checks the designated network server

locations for new recordings, packages of SMP351 recording files with a player application

(Extron Media Player, EMP) and additional information, and automatically distributes

recording packages to event presenters via a secure Web page interface.
