This guide provides instructions to setup and operate the SMP 300 Series models. In this guide, the term “SMP
models” refer to the SMP 351 and SMP 352 models.
The Extron SMP 300 Series models are Streaming Media Processors, high denition recording and streaming
devices for professional AV systems. The SMP models record MP4 les of one or two video channels with mixed
audio, a PNG background le, and metadata in various layouts (composite mode). The SMP 352 models support
an additional encoding mode, which records independent MP4 les of the two video channels with mixed audio
in full screen (Dual Channel mode ), but without background image or metadata overlay. All SMP models support
independent live streaming videos for archive and condence, at different resolutions and bitrates. Any SMP 351
can be upgraded to SMP 352 by applying a Dual Recording LinkLicense. In addition to Dual Channel encoding, the
LinkLicense also unlocks advanced audio DSP capabilities for level control, ltering, and compression. The SMP
models t in presentation recording, lecture capture, and enterprise training applications.
Mounting
The SMP300 Series models are housed in a 1U high, full rack width metal enclosure that can sit on a table with the
provided rubber feet or can be mounted using the attached rack mounts. Select a suitable mounting location, then
choose an appropriate mounting option. Before connecting the SMP 300 Series models, turn off all devices that
will be connected and then make all external device connections to the SMP models before applying power to the
devices.

Control System and External Device Connections
The SMP 300 Series models can be congured and controlled from the remote port (see figure 1,
E
on previous
page) or the front panel mini USB B Cong port (see figure 4,
B
on page 3) using SIS commands and
DataViewer via telnet port 23, or from the LAN port using a standard web browser. Because the LAN port must be
connected for recording upload and streaming output, Extron recommends using it for conguration, remote control,
and rmware upgrades.
B
USB storage device — Attach an external USB storage device to save recorded les. The storage device can
be any standard external hard drive or USB ash drive formatted with a compatible le system.
NOTE: SMP 300 Series devices can detect and record to USB storage devices using FAT32, VFAT long file
name extensions, EXT2, EXT3, EXT4 file systems, or NTFS-formatted storage volumes.
C
USB keyboard and mouse — Two (2) USB type A ports for attachment of a keyboard and mouse.
When a keyboard and mouse are connected, the user can toggle (CTL+ALT+S) the HDMI output (see
figure 1,

E
Remote — To control the SMPmodels using SIS commands over RS-232, connect the host
RS-232 cable to the rear panel (see the illustration at right) with a 3-pole captive screw connector for
bi-directional (±5V) serial host control. The default protocol for this port is 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data
bits, 1 stop bit, and no flow control (handshaking).
P
Reset button and LED — The SMPmodels have several reset modes to return user-dened conguration
settings or all settings back to factory defaults. The LED blinks to indicate the desired reset mode, and provides
the reset status during the reset operation. For information on selecting the reset mode, see the SMP300 Series
User Guide.
Q
RJ-45 Ethernet connector (LAN) — Use a standard Ethernet cable to
connect to a network. The table at right has the default network settings.
NOTE: To connect the SMPmodels directly to a computer Ethernet port, use
crossover Ethernet cables.
Input Connections
The audio and video inputs are grouped into channel A (
G
) and channel B (
K
). Channel
A analog input can be selected for video inputs 1 or 2, and channel B analog audio can be
selected for video inputs 3, 4, or 5.
F
HDMI input (1 and 2) — Connect an HDMI (or DVI with a suitable adapter) source device to

Figure 3. Audio Output Captive Screw Connector Wiring
ATTENTION:
• The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm).
If longer, the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. If shorter, the wires can
be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.
• La longueur des câbles exposés est primordiale lorsque l’on entreprend de les dénuder. La longueur
idéale est de 5mm (3/16inches). S’ils sont un peu plus longs, les câbles exposés pourraient se
toucher et provoquer un court circuit. S’ils sont un peu plus courts, ils pourraient sortir, même s’ils sont
attachés par les vis captives.
• Do not tin the wires. Tinned wires are not as secure in the captive screw terminals <connector> and
could pull out.
• Ne pas étamer les câbles. Les câbles étamés ne sont pas aussi bien xés dans les terminaisons des
<connecteurs> à vis captives et pourraient sortir.
• For unbalanced audio connect the sleeves to the ground contact. DO NOT connect the sleeves to the
negative (–) contacts.
• Pour l’audio asymétrique connectez les manchons au contact au sol. Ne PAS connecter les manchons
aux contacts négatifs (–).
N
HDMI preview output — Connect an HDMI (or DVI with a suitable adapter) display device to this HDMI output
connector. The preview output switches between the record preview content and the internal browser using an
attached USB keyboard and mouse.
O
Analog audio output — Connect a balanced or unbalanced stereo line level audio device to this 5-pole 3.5 mm
captive screw connector (see figure 1). Wire the connector as shown in figure 3.
The audio output is selected from Channel A, from Channel B, or a mix of both Channel A and Channel B (see

Streaming
Both SMP models support multiple simultaneous stream encoders. Additionally, the SMP 352 supports Channel
A and Channel B archive streaming. Each can have a different resolution, frame rate, and bitrate and independent
streaming protocol methods. The output defaults to both record and stream the selected input.
• Archive (Channel A and Channel B in Dual Channel mode) — Highest quality for both recording and
streaming (default: Pull, unicast RTP/UDP).
• Confidence — For streaming only (default: Pull, unicast RTP/UDP).
NOTES:
• To view a condence stream on the web-based UI, leave the condence encode setting at default values.
• Preview will not be shown if version Chrome 42 or later is used.
To upload a recording to a server share folder:
Files recorded to internal memory can also be uploaded automatically (after the recording completes) to a server
shared folder via FTP, SFTP or CIFS (see the SMP300 SeriesHelp le for instructions and additional le publishing
options).
To decode the archive and confidence streams:
To view the condence stream, go to the embedded webpage AV Controls Panel. The SMPmodels use the
Extron SMP plugin to view the streams. Archive and condence streams can also be decoded using an
Extron SMD101 or SMD 202 decoder or compatible third party players such as VLC
®
and QuickTime
®
. To change
the default viewer, see the SMP300 Series User Guide.
