Make a recording
The SMP 351 creates recordings by:
• Scaling and arranging the content from one or both AV input channels (A and B)
and the optional background .png file as defined by the selected layout preset (see
Layout presets on page 94)
• Encoding the content and layout into two encoding streams (archive

Encoder Settings and Layout Presets Overview
Creating a set of files — one or more .m4v files and other files containing metadata,

Output and share recordings
Recording files can be saved in the SMP 351 internal memory or 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 Matterhorn scheduling server, both
ad hoc and scheduled recordings are automatically uploaded to the
Matterhorn server location defined during the scheduling setup (see
Scheduling with an opencast Matterhorn server
• To upload recordings for other scheduling or integration methods, specify a
FTP, SFTP, or CIFS/Windows Net Share server folder during system setup (see
Add a Network Share
Uploading recordings to a server allows you to archive or share files with others who are
authorized to access that folder, or to use tools such as Extron Streaming Content Manager
(SCM) software. Streaming Content Manager checks the designated network server
locations for new recordings, packages of SMP 351 recording files with a player application
(Extron Media Player, EMP) and additional information, and automatically distributes
recording packages to event presenters via a secure Web page interface.
