SMP 111
Single Channel H.264 Streaming Media Processor
The SMP 111 is a high performance recording and streaming processor for capturing and distributing AV sources and presentations as live streaming and recorded media. The SMP 111 accepts an HDMI signal with embedded audio and an analog audio signal. Extron high performance scaling and flexible signal processing enable superior display of content of varying resolutions from computers and HDTV sources. The SMP 111 supports extensive streaming capabilities, it can record and stream simultaneously, with independent resolutions and bit rates using a range of transport protocols and session management options. Recording with the SMP 111 provides easy capture of live HDMI signals to an internal flash drive and external USB drives. Requiring no licensing fees, the SMP 111 is a compact, flexible, and cost-effective solution for streaming and recording content.
Optional RCP 101 Series remote control panels can extend both front panel control as well as USB connectivity for thumb drive recording media. Available in decorator-style, MK, and EU versions; the EU version is compatible with Flex55 enclosures. The included USB and power cables from the SMP 111 provide up to 15 feet (4.5 meters) of extension to the transport controls and USB port. Alternately, a USB extension such as Extron’s USB Extender Plus series can provide up to 330 feet (100 meters) between the remote control panel and the SMP 111.
The SMP 111 is ideal for applications that require simple recording of a single video signal with audio and metadata. It provides MP4 or M4V file format recordings integrated with metadata, chapter and event marking. It is also ideal for applications that require live streaming to remote participants. The SMP 111 can be adapted to many applications, documenting virtually any meeting, conference, or activity that uses an AV source as a reference. The SMP 111 is ideal for use in corporate, education, government, and rental and staging applications. Applications include:
Presentation Recording: Document presentations and replay them for absent participants
Lecture Capture: Record and publish educational courses onto learning management systems
Enterprise Training Systems: Archive training material and publish for on-demand access
Visual Data Recording: Document technical systems that use AV data
Event Rehearsal: Practice and evaluate rehearsals and presentations
Add Enhanced Features to Kaltura or Panopto with LinkLicense
These annual SMP 111 Enhanced Feature LinkLicenses enable enhanced integration with the Kaltura and Panopto hosted video platforms. Use automated scheduling and publishing, as well as live stream to Kaltura or Panopto platforms using RTMP/RTMPS.
Add Horizontal Video Mirroring Capabilities with LinkLicense
A Horizontal Video Mirroring LinkLicense upgrade adds powerful features to the SMP 111 Streaming Media Processor. The expanded functionality enhances and streamlines the recording of video and audio presentations. Horizontal Video Mirroring flips video horizontally to support lightboard or other applications that require reversal of the video image due to the presenter facing the camera while writing on a transparent surface. This eliminates time and resources spent manually flipping the video in post-production.

SMP 300 Series
H.264 Streaming Media Processors
The SMP 300 Series of products are high performance streaming and recording processors for capturing and distributing AV sources and presentations as live streaming and recorded media. Easily stream to Wowza, YouTube, Twitch, Vimeo and more with the RTMP streaming protocol. Apply RTMP push streaming with stream name or key and user authentication in unicast or multicast streaming applications to extend live presentations or events to reach much larger audiences. Streaming to Facebook Live is also supported using the RTMPS streaming protocol, and the SMP automatically adjusts for this protocol to deliver a consistent user experience. Virtual Input support for network-based streaming sources enables the ability to ingest up to two additional RTP/RTSP push/pull streams and record each stream into a separate file. Users can directly record up to 4 inputs, including IP cameras and other encoded sources for recording and streaming.
SMP 300 Series processors also support SDI audio de-embedding to decode audio from SDI sources for inclusion in audio mixes along with HDMI or analog sources. They incorporate Extron's FlexOS®, a flexible platform for automating system operation. Accepting HDMI, component, composite, and optional 3G-SDI signals, SMP 300 Series processors can record and stream simultaneously and can stream at two different resolutions and bit rates concurrently using a range of transport protocols and session management options.
Comprehensive control and configuration features make SMP 300 Series processors integration-friendly and easy to control and operate. Various LinkLicense® upgrades are available that enhance system operation, expand system options, and provide immediate cost-effective solutions that deliver presentations to larger audiences.
