2. The innovative
The innovative ScoopFone HD, designed for the needs of modern broadcasting, is a professional mobile
phone that integrates 3.1 kHz 2G telephone calls into the broadcast chain and offers significant audio
quality increase to 7kHz/ HD Voice in 3G / UMTS mobile networks. HD Voice delivers higher quality
voice transmissions by extending the frequency of range of traditional or narrowband voice calls (300
Hz to 3400 Hz) out to wideband audio ranges (50 Hz to 7000 Hz). The 7 kHz wideband sound quality al-
lows the full signature character of the reporter’s voice to be heard, leading to greater audience involve-
ment and loyalty.
ScoopFone HD offers broadcasters abilities that have never been available before in this
innovative category. Features include:
++One input with three selectable gains with a high pass filter (80Hz 18db/Octave),
a limiter and fader, and 48 volts Phantom power (XLR 3 pins).
++Mixing between the microphone input and the line input
++Two headphone jack sockets
++AETA makes this new technology available in a highly portable form for
low cost remotes and immediate on-the-spot broadcasts from reporters.

designed specifically for broadcasters (STL applications) or others who wish to do their live transmis-
sions over IP Scoop5 IP has all the key features that make it worthy the ‘Made by AETA’ label -- high
.
audio quality, reliability, X24/V11 and Ethernet interfaces, a wide range of coding algorithms, and espe-
cially the famous 4SB ADPCM at a low latency in 15 kHz quality. In addition, Scoop5 IP also has audio
analog input/output, simultaneous AES, additional I/O, and the option to configure and manage the
equipment via embedded Web page. Broadcasters get all of this with the Scoop5 IP at a very attractive
price.

6. AETA Audio Systems introduces
RAVENNA for audio codecs
The Scoop5 RAVENNA adds a dual RAVENNA IP audio interface for redundant audio transfer to the
standard version of the codec. In addition the Scoop5 RAVENNA has an independent IP interface for
remote control.The Scoop5 RAVENNA is the perfect gateway between a RAVENNA based local infra-
structure and the outside world.
WHAT IS RAVENNA?
RAVENNA is a solution for real-time distribution of audio and other media content in IP-based network
environments. Utilizing standardized network protocols and technologies, RAVENNA can operate in ex-
isting network infrastructures. Performance and capacity are scaling with the capabilities of the underly-
ing network architecture. Primarily targeting the Professional Broadcast Market, RAVENNA will match
Broadcaster’s requirements for low latency, full signal transparency and high reliability. Fields of applica-
tion include (but are not limited to): in-house signal distribution for Broadcasting Houses and other fixed
installations, flexible setups at venues and Live events, OB van support, inter-studio links across WAN
links and production facilities.
OPEN TECHNOLOGY STANDARD
Unlike most other existing networking solutions, RAVENNA is an open technology standard without a
proprietary licensing policy. Interested parties are invited to participate in the ongoing development ac-
tivities. In order to emphasize this open approach, ALC NetworX has already teamed-up with renowned
companies from the Pro-Audio market such as AETA to present a variety of RAVENNA-powered technol-
ogy prototype.

7. supports HD Voice in 41 commercial networks
41 commercial mobile HD Voice networks have been launched in 33 countries. The Scoopy+ already
supports this HD Voice service through its internal 3G module. While mobile IP links can suffer from
unreliable throughput and variable latency, HD Voice is a circuit-switched service that provides superior
voice quality at low latency.
Broadcasters never lose a story with Scoopy+ HD because this lightweight, portable codec not only
transmits from everywhere to everywhere, it also offers recording and editing functions. Before trans-
mitting, users screen all wired and wireless telecommunication systems at hand and select the best
interface available.
HD Voice delivers higher quality voice transmissions by extending the frequency of range of traditional
or narrowband voice calls (300 Hz to 3400 Hz) out to wideband audio ranges (50 Hz to 7000 Hz). The
wideband sound quality (7 kHz) allows the full signature character of the reporter’s voice to be heard,
leading to greater audience involvement and loyalty. And because the unit’s rechargeable batteries last
for more than five hours, a reporter can continue reporting when most others must look for an electrical
outlet.

8. LTE Support For Scoopy+,
the Most Complete Portable Codec
AETA’s renowned Scoopy+, the industry’s first portable, professional audio hardware codec to support
HD Voice (7 kHz) now supports the higher-speed LTE standard as well. LTE provides a significant perfor-
mance improvement and alternative to congested 3G networks by enabling up to 100 Mbits/s download
and 50 Mbits/s upload, with lower latency for better performance during live transmissions, and better
coverage in rural areas by using lower frequencies in the 800 MHz band.
Internal LTE modules are available in new Scoopy+ units, and the latest firmware for the Scoopy+ sup-
ports several LTE external USB sticks, allowing LTE to be used with the different standards in Japan,
Europe and the USA. With an external USB stick, LTE capability can easily be added to existing units,
and used in conjunction with an internal HD Voice module. For fast switching between mobile network
providers, the Scoopy+ can support internal and external mobile network devices in parallel.
Using an external USB LTE stick (possible with all existing Scoopy+ units) provides the opportunity for
using two different networks. For example, for the internal mobile network module a Telekom SIM card
is being used and for the LTE USB stick a Vodafone SIM card is inserted. The user can select quickly
between the two networks through the Scoopy+ menu. If one network isn’t available or overloaded,
the other one can be used.
