µScoop is a full-duplex IP audio codec available in analog or digital version designed to easily and efficiently perform IP connections over a wired network access (Ethernet).
Aimed at broadcasters for STL use (studio to transmitter connections) or outsourced contribution, µScoop is also suitable for all cases of long-distance IP communications with professional quality requirements (Sound system/ Event).
Lightweight and compact (1/3 of 19 ''), boasting low power consumption (2 W) with its PoE (48 V), µScoop is the simplest and cost efficient solution to establish audio over IP professional communications.
Operational benefits
µScoop is controlled via its dedicated web page. The product is detected by its MAC address when connected to Ethernet.
AETAScan scans your LAN to look for AETA codecs and displays MAC and IP addresses.

A double click on the seleced codec opens its dedicated web page, enabling the configuration and control of the codec.
Using a SIP server greatly simplifies the setting up of a connection. Click here for further details on using a SIP server.
"Direct RTP" mode allows you to setup an audio call over an IP network without using the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). Please download this application note to see how to operate the codecs using the "Direct RTP" mode.
Ability to setup an audio call over an IP network in “Multicast” mode. The “Multicast” feature is available in the “Setup / Network / AoIP Parameters” menu fro the “AoIP” page of the web interface.
It is also possible to control µScoop via a codec management software, such as Scoop Manager, edited by AETA Audio Systems. Click here for further details about Scoop Manager
In addition to its attractive price, a great asset of µScoop is its packet duplication technology, which provides effective protection against audio cuts.
