1. General The SCOOP 3 5ASystem codec allows the bi-directional transmission of one or two audio signals with bit rate reduction, over one or two ISDN lines. The SCOOP 3 5ASystem is available in three versions: • SCOOP 3 5AS “7 kHz”...

5A stands for Aeta Audio Advanced Automatic Adjustment. This system makes it easier to set an ISDN connection, because the codec, on receiving a call, automatically adjusts itself, following the calling party algorithm and parameters.

CODEC TYPE: this choice is not presented on the 7 kHz version, as only the double codec mode is available in this version. In the “Double G7xx” mode, the SCOOP 3 5ASystem behaves as two independent codecs (two independent links, while e.g. dual mono MPEG encodes both channels in the same frames and within the same transmission link), each with G711 or G722 coding in full- duplex.
