    File Management The File Management page contains a directory of files stored in the SMP 300 Series and any connected shared drives on the network, which can be deleted, renamed or locked. It also contains a file upload utility to add new files to the SMP for use as background images. Use this page to connect the SMP to shared network drives and upload or download files from the SMP through an SFTP client.

  • Page 104: Add A Network Share

    NOTES: Recordings stored on the internal drive can be automatically uploaded to a • network server (configured in Configuration > Schedule Settings > Publish Settings). If internal storage space is nearly full, the SMP uses a disc cleanup feature to make room for new recordings. As needed, the unit automatically deletes old recordings that have already been uploaded to a server, starting with the oldest recordings, until there is enough free space on the disk.

  • Page 105: Troubleshooting

    Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) — A standardized compression and encoding scheme for lossy (low quality) digital audio. Higher bit rates provide higher quality. Part of the MPEG‑ 2 and MPEG‑4 specifications. The SMP 300 Series supports AAC‑LC (MPEG‑2 part 7, MPEG‑4 part 3, sub‑part 4 and part 14, MP4 audio).
  • Page 171 (2) Compressor/decompressor: Codecs can be implemented in software, hardware, or a combination of both. Composite encoding mode — The SMP 300 Series mode that signals from channels A and B are combined into one archive stream (forming a single recording). This is the only mode available in the SMP 351 and SMP 351 3G‑SDI.
  • Page 172 Domain Name System (DNS) — A database system that translates domain names (such as www.extron.com) into IP addresses. Dual channel encoding mode — The SMP 300 Series mode that signals from channel A and signals from channel B are encoded to separate archive streams (and, therefore, separate recordings), each with its own settings.
