AV Recording with Enhanced Data
The SMP 111 produces an MP4 or M4V container format that is compatible with virtually any media player. It records at resolutions from 512x288 through 1920x1080, including 480p, 720p, or 1080p, supporting a variety of storage, and playback requirements. Recordings can include metadata with information such as: Title, Creator, Subject, Description, Publisher, Contributor, and Date, which makes searching, indexing, and managing multiple recordings more efficient. Chapter marks can be set during recording sessions, providing highly efficient searching and scanning during file playback. JPEG thumbnail images are captured periodically and for specially marked events, and the thumbnail image size is selectable in order to meet the needs of the recording environment. Extron recording packages include thumbnail images, chapter marks, metadata, and the recorded video and audio. The combination of a high resolution AV signal, on-screen data, metadata, thumbnail images, and chapter marks make navigation and playback of SMP 111 recordings from a media player or content management system highly efficient and effective.

MP4 recordings can be saved to internal solid state storage, a USB storage device, or a defined network storage directory. USB storage devices connect easily to the SMP 111 from the front or rear panel. The approximate capacity in hours for the SMP 111's internal solid state storage, a 64 GB thumb drive, and a 1 TB network drive are presented in the table below.
