Clean switching — Switching has a clean transition between sources. Distractions
•
such as visual jumps, glitches, and distortion commonly experienced when switching
between computer and video sources will not be experienced when using the SMP.
• Recording metadata — Metadata can be assigned to make indexing and searching of
recordings simple including: Title, Creator, Subject, Description, Publisher, Contributor,
and Date.
• Metadata text overlay — Data concerning the recording can be presented and clearly
identified on recording layouts with AV sources and a background image.
Uploadable background image files — Upload PNG image files at resolutions up to
•
1920x1080 to identify organizational or event information.
On screen display information — Present device information and status on source
•
images to aid in troubleshooting and fault finding activities.
• Onscreen display video time reference — Text displaying a time and date reference
can be presented within the onscreen display in the top left corner of the output signal.
• Extended time recording — Recordings that would produce a media file size greater
than 4 GB are bundled into a recording package of sequential MP4 files.
User configurable recording file size — Split recordings into specified files sizes.
•
• Automatic file management for internal storage — Storage space is automatically
created for new recordings when additional space is required. Files are deleted on a
first-in, first-out basis. Important recordings can be locked and retained indefinitely until
they are manually deleted.
System workflow alarms — Notify monitoring systems or support staff if disk space
•
is low, encrypted signals are detected, AV signal errors occur, or other error conditions
exist.
• Alarm reporting — Automate communication with monitoring systems or support staff
using email, SNMP traps, or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol - SMTP messages.
"Publish Failure" Alarm — There is a new alarm notification for a publishing failure for
•
transferring recordings. The new alarm can be found in the Configuration > Alarms and
Traps > Alarm Message List.
View Temperature SIS — SIS command to view system temperature. The new
•
command information can be found in the SMP User Guide section Remote
Communication and Control.
• AAC audio encoding — Standards-based audio compression is used to provide
compatibility with many devices. The bit rate can be adapted to different application
requirements.
• Video encoding quality controls including video resolution, video bit rate, frame
rate, constant or variable bit rate control, GOP length, and audio bit rate —
Several user controls are available to adjust encoding quality.
• Auto Input Memory — When activated, the SMP automatically stores size, position,
and picture settings based on the incoming signal. When the same signal is detected
again, these image settings are automatically recalled from memory.
• Automatically manage EDID communication between connected devices with
EDID Minder — Automatically manage EDID communications between devices, EDID
Minder, ensuring use of optimal signal formats.
• Audio input gain and attenuation — Gain or attenuation can be adjusted for each
input signal to eliminate noticeable differences when switching between sources or
adjusting audio levels for the output stream.
Picture controls for brightness, contrast, signal sampling, and overscan —
•
Sixteen user memory presets are available for each input to store all image settings.
