2. Functions
Reminder: this chapter details the functions and capability of the ScoopTeam, but not the detailed
operating modes, developed in other chapters.
The following block diagram shows the basic functions of the equipment.
Figure 1 – Functional diagram of the equipment
The AUDIO block deals with the audio interfaces and includes mixing and processing functions. Two
internal mono buses “Program” and “Coordination” are generated and sent to the coding and
transmission parts. Corresponding feedback signals are received from these blocks and used in the
mixing part. Monitoring headphones are fed a configurable and adjustable mix of the block’s input
signals.
The CODEC block deals with the bit rate reduction for transmission, implementing various possible
coding algorithms. Two bidirectional channels are handled.
The TRANSMISSION block handles the access and transport via the available network interface(s).
The User Interface and Control part includes the management thanks to the touch screen display and
several buttons and knobs. In addition, the unit is remote controlled via the IP network interface(s), plus
some GPIO.
Auxiliary functions can be optionally added, e.g. by plugging USB devices providing additional network
interfaces.
