Make a recording
The SMP 300 Series creates recordings by:
• Composite mode — Scaling and arranging the content from one or both AV
inputs, channel A and channel B, and the optional background .png file as defined
by the selected layout preset (see
page 84).
• Dual mode — Scaling channel A and channel B in full screen with no background and
no metadata.
Encoding the content into up to three encoding streams (two encoding streams [archive
•
and confidence] in composite mode, three encoding streams [ChA archive, ChB archive
and confidence] in dual channel mode (see
SMP 351 models encode the content and layout into two encoding streams, archive
•
and confidence.
• SMP 352 models and SMP 351 models, with LinkLicense, encode the content and
layout into three encoder streams that include archive channel A, archive channel B,
and confidence.
Creating a set of files — One or more .m4v or .mp4 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
& Layout for instructions on how to set the default recording storage location).
The SMP 300 Series 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 Setting the Default Recording Media
Output and share recordings
Recording files can be saved in the SMP 300 Series internal memory and 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 or Kaltura, server, both ad hoc and scheduled
recordings are automatically uploaded to the server location defined during the
scheduling setup.
• To upload recordings for other scheduling or integration methods, specify a
publishing destination during system setup (FTP, SFTP, or CIFS/Windows Net
Share server folder).
Uploading recordings to a server allows the user to archive or share files with others who are
authorized to access that folder or to use tools such as Opencast.
• Opencast is an end-to-end software solution that facilitates the capture, management,
and playback of media files from meetings, lectures, and other live events. Current,
previously recorded, or archived media files can be added to Opencast, making
everything accessible from a single point. Opencast ensures recordings with metadata
are packaged for playback within the player environment.
