AETA Audio Systems, a company which manufacturers audio and IP codecs, has recently launched ScoopyFlex. The solution consists on a portable codec on a docking station that performs as a full-fledged commentary unit. The solution is compatible with functionalities as 5G capability, embedded Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, as well as two mobile network connections, stereo streams and HD voice. AETA will showcase this product on at IBC2021 on booth 8.D75.

ScoopyFlex has autonomy of up to eight hours and the devices can house three SIM cards and manages recording, editing and video tasks. Also, it offers a second mic to help ensure optimal sanitary conditions that protect both reporters and guests during interviews.

Connected to a docking station, ScoopyFlex offers three mics, additional audio I/Os and a redundant AES67 connection, as well as a second ethernet port, battery recharge and, intercom buttons.

“With ScoopyFlex, we offer the quality and tradition of our flagship product, Scoopy, in a new modular version that enables users to benefit from the unit’s advanced features and versatility, allowing them to craft timely and compelling remote broadcasts,” said Yann Vonarburg, General Manager of AETA Audio Systems. “In the past, to achieve this, station staff would have to have two units: one light device for mobile use and another one for commentary applications. That’s now changed with ScoopyFlex and its docking station, and this significantly lowers the cost of gear for broadcaster.”
