  • Page 5: General

    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”...

    16, 24, 32 or 48 kHz. The coding clock is also locked to the network clock. SCOOP 3 5ASystem - User Manual 55 000 041 – Ed. D This document is the property of AAS and can not be duplicated without authorisation January 2006 Scoop 3 5AS manual - Ed.D.doc...
  • Page 7: Encoding And Decoding

    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.
