This guide provides instructions to setup and operate the SMP 300 Series models. In this guide, the term “SMP models” refer to the SMP 351 and SMP 352 models.

The Extron SMP 300 Series models are Streaming Media Processors, high definition recording and streaming devices for professional AV systems. The SMP models record MP4 files of one or two video channels with mixed audio, a PNG background file, and metadata in various layouts (composite mode). The SMP 352 models support an additional encoding mode, which records independent MP4 files of the two video channels with mixed audio in full screen (Dual Channel mode ), but without background image or metadata overlay. All SMP models support independent live streaming videos for archive and confidence, at different resolutions and bitrates. Any SMP 351 can be upgraded to SMP 352 by applying a Dual Recording LinkLicense. In addition to Dual Channel encoding, the LinkLicense also unlocks advanced audio DSP capabilities for level control, filtering, and compression. The SMP models fit in presentation recording, lecture capture, and enterprise training applications.

MountingThe SMP 300 Series models are housed in a 1U high, full rack width metal enclosure that can sit on a table with the provided rubber feet or can be mounted using the attached rack mounts. Select a suitable mounting location, then choose an appropriate mounting option. Before connecting the SMP 300 Series models, turn off all devices that will be connected and then make all external device connections to the SMP models before applying power to the devices.

Control System and External Device Connections

The SMP 300 Series models can be configured and controlled from the remote port (see figure 1, E on previous page) or the front panel mini USB B Config port (see figure 4, B on page 3) using SIS commands and DataViewer via telnet port 23, or from the LAN port using a standard web browser. Because the LAN port must be connected for recording upload and streaming output, Extron recommends using it for configuration, remote control, and firmware upgrades.

B USB storage device — Attach an external USB storage device to save recorded files. The storage device can be any standard external hard drive or USB flash drive formatted with a compatible file system.

NOTE: SMP 300 Series devices can detect and record to USB storage devices using FAT32, VFAT long file name extensions, EXT2, EXT3, EXT4 file systems, or NTFS-formatted storage volumes.

C USB keyboard and mouse — Two (2) USB type A ports for attachment of a keyboard and mouse.When a keyboard and mouse are connected, the user can toggle (CTL+ALT+S) the HDMI output (see

figure 1, N) between the standard preview output and the internal browser view.

D Digital I/O — This 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector provides four user-defined digital inputs and outputs.

E Remote — To control the SMP models using SIS commands over RS-232, connect the host RS-232 cable to the rear panel (see the illustration at right) with a 3-pole captive screw connector for bi-directional (±5 V) serial host control. The default protocol for this port is 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no flow control (handshaking).

P Reset button and LED — The SMP models have several reset modes to return user-defined configuration settings or all settings back to factory defaults. The LED blinks to indicate the desired reset mode, and provides the reset status during the reset operation. For information on selecting the reset mode, see the SMP 300 Series User Guide.

Q RJ-45 Ethernet connector (LAN) — Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect to a network. The table at right has the default network settings.

NOTE: To connect the SMP models directly to a computer Ethernet port, use crossover Ethernet cables.

Input Connections

The audio and video inputs are grouped into channel A (G) and channel B (K). Channel A analog input can be selected for video inputs 1 or 2, and channel B analog audio can be selected for video inputs 3, 4, or 5.

F HDMI input (1 and 2) — Connect an HDMI (or DVI with a suitable adapter) source device to input 1, input 2, or both.

G Channel A analog audio input — Connect a balanced or unbalanced stereo line level audio device to this 5-pole 3.5 mm captive screw connector. Channel A analog audio can be selected for output with HDMI inputs 1 and 2 instead of the embedded audio. Wire the connector as shown in figure 2 (see Attention on next page before wiring).

When input 1 or 2 is selected, audio is selected from either the HDMI embedded audio, Ch A analog audio, or the audio can be set to Off (see Audio Input Selection on page 6).

ATTENTION:

• The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm). If longer, the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. If shorter, the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.

• La longueur des câbles exposés est primordiale lorsque l’on entreprend de les dénuder. La longueur idéale est de 5 mm (3/16 inches). S’ils sont un peu plus longs, les câbles exposés pourraient se toucher et provoquer un court circuit. S’ils sont un peu plus courts, ils pourraient sortir, même s’ils sont attachés par les vis captives.

• Do not tin the wires. Tinned wires are not as secure in the captive screw terminals <connector> and could pull out.

• Ne pas étamer les câbles. Les câbles étamés ne sont pas aussi bien fixés dans les terminaisons des <connecteurs> à vis captives et pourraient sortir.

• For unbalanced audio connect the sleeves to the ground contact. DO NOT connect the sleeves to the negative (–) contacts.

• Pour l’audio asymétrique connectez les manchons au contact au sol. Ne PAS connecter les manchons aux contacts négatifs (–).

N HDMI preview output — Connect an HDMI (or DVI with a suitable adapter) display device to this HDMI output connector. The preview output switches between the record preview content and the internal browser using an attached USB keyboard and mouse.

O Analog audio output — Connect a balanced or unbalanced stereo line level audio device to this 5-pole 3.5 mm captive screw connector (see figure 1). Wire the connector as shown in figure 3.

The audio output is selected from Channel A, from Channel B, or a mix of both Channel A and Channel B (see Audio Output Selection on page 7). Default is Ch A + Ch B.
