Extron announced that the SMP 401 Multi-Channel 4K Recording and Streaming Media Processor is shipping. The SMP 401 is an all-in-one 4K/60 processor that easily captures, switches, scales and distributes AV sources and presentations. Processing with H.264/H.265 encoding provides up to five recordings and six streams concurrently. The SMP 401 captures a variety of sources from three HDMI inputs, two RTP/RTSP virtual inputs, and an optional 12G-SDI input. Additionally, the advanced audio DSP facilitates independent mixing per channel and supports line or mic level audio, with phantom power for microphones. The user-friendly front panel LCD screen enables video preview for confidence monitoring, and simple menu navigation for easy configuration.

The SMP 401 is a robust solution for any environment where multiple recordings and live streaming are required. It is ideal for use in a variety of applications, such as lecture capture, government and healthcare training, and simulation spaces that demand high-resolution recordings, efficient storage capabilities, and the flexibility to live stream and publish to third-party platforms for future use.
