Estimating Storage Requirements for a Recording
Estimating Storage per Recording Hour
You need to know video and audio bit rates configured in your Extron SMP 111. For these
examples, the calculations assume that the bit rates remain constant during the recording.
If you are using VBR (variable bit rate, which is the default) then the actual bit rates are often
slightly lower than this estimate. In some cases they can be higher.
To estimate storage per recording hour:
1.
Find the SMP 111 video bit rate and audio bit rate (in the web UI go to
Configuration
>
Encoding
&
Metadata
>
Encoding
Presets
), which are in kbps (kilobits per second).
2.
Insert those bit rates into the following equation:
[(video bit rate + audio bit rate) *3600 seconds per hour] / 8 bits per byte
*1000 =
x
MBph (megabytes per hour)
Example:
Using the default “720p High” encoder preset, with
•
Video bit rate = 5000 kbps
•
Audio bit rate = 192 kbps
For a 1‑hour recording (3600 seconds),
•
([5000 + 192] * 3600) / 8000 = 2336.4 MBph or 2.34 GBph
For the default encoder presets of an SMP 111, the following are the estimated storage
requirements for each hour of recording:

NOTE:
If you choose from one of several encoding rates, do the above calculation
for each of the possible rates. You will also need to estimate how often each of the
encoding rates is selected.
To estimate the number of hours of recordings that can be stored on a specific size of hard
drive:
•
Determine the SMP 111 video bit rate and audio bit rate, in kbps (kilobits per second).
•
Insert those bit rates into the following equation:
[(hard drive size in GB * 8,000,000) / (video bit rate + audio bit rate)]/3600 =
x
hours
