The Extron SMP 401 Streaming Media Processors are high performance all-in-one multi-channel 4K/60 recording and streaming
processors. The SMP 401 accepts HDMI, optional 12G-SDI, line level or mic level audio with phantom power. It can create up to five
independent recordings and simultaneously provide up to six streams, with different encoder settings and separate audio, when using with
two virtual inputs. The SMP 401 is a flexible, robust solution for environments that require multiple high-quality recordings and live streams,
such as lecture capture and HyFlex learning, government and healthcare training, courtrooms, and command and control centers (see
available features at www.extron.com).
Mount the SMP 401
The SMP 401 models are housed in a 1U high, full rack width metal enclosure that can sit on a table with the provided rubber feet or
mounted using the attached rack mounts. Select a suitable mounting location, then choose an appropriate mounting option.
Before connecting the SMP 401, turn off all devices to be connected. Then make all external device connections to the SMP 401 before
applying power to the devices.
