Extron’s SMP 352 – Stream Concurrently at Two Resolutions and Bit Rates from the Same Source

Published in September-October 2020 Issue

The SMP 352 allows recording and streaming processor for capturing and distributing AV sources and presentations as recorded media or live streaming. It can create independent recordings from two different sources, and incorporates Extron’s FlexOS, a platform for automating system operation. The SMP 352 accepts HDMI, component, composite, and optional 3G-SDI signals and applies two-window processing to selected sources. It can record and stream simultaneously and can stream at two different resolutions and bit rates concurrently using a range of transport protocols and session management options. The SMP 352 dual recording feature creates independent recordings from two different video sources with independent archive stream settings for each channel. Users can choose to create a single layout for simultaneous recording and streaming, or create synchronized recordings and streams of two video channels with the dual recording feature.  A confidence stream provides a composite of two video sources to monitor both channels from a single stream. The SMP 352 also DSP features for level control, filtering, and dynamics, as well as streaming presets that increase functionality and provide a simplified workflow.

Features to look for:

• Process two high resolution AV sources from up to five available input signals
• Record and stream simultaneously
• High quality scaling with flexible two-window management
• Produce MP4 media or M4A audio files that are compatible with virtually any media player
• Stream concurrently at two resolutions and bit rates from the same source
• Dual channel recording and streaming with confidence stream
