Notes :

• Version 1.0.7b[…] required on the ZMAN module.
• Make sure to update the MyScoopTeam application as well (LE or RE edition, version 1.7.2.4702).

New features :

• Added support for the “Premium+” version of the ScoopTeam, which brings additional audio I/O, especially with the integration of a new AES67/Ravenna network module. 5 input channels and 8 output channels are provided on this interface. It is configured from the ScoopTeam menu, except the receiver delay fixed at “automatic”.
• “Sound ID” : customizable audio file played in a loop and inserted on the PGM bus (Premium+ version only).
• Ability to manage SIP profiles, from the “Book” menu of the front panel or the “SIP Profiles” page of the html interface.
• Ability to manage the equipment using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol); note that only a subset of the features and information is exposed to the SNMP manager.

Improvements :

• Ability to show/modify the audio input labels in the “Tools > Labels” menu of the front panel; this includes the ability to name the three additional AES67 input channels for the “Premium+” version of the ScoopTeam.
• Ability to configure a screen saver in the “Tools” menu page of the front panel; the display is automatically dimmed after a configurable period of inactivity.
• Ability to use an alternate “SIP Port” for the secondary SIP account used in double codec mode or for double streaming.
• Added support for new external LTE/4G USB devices: Huawei E3372h-153 and Huawei MS2372h-153.

Fixed issues :

• The “Auto Configuration” setting of the “RAVENNA” menu was not properly handled.

Fixed issues :

• Regression introduced in version 1.06 : malfunction with MPEG L2 coding at a sampling rate of 24 kHz or 32 kHz.

When updating a unit to this version, make sure to update the MyScoopTeam application as well (LE or RE edition, version 1.6.0.4549).

New features :

• Added a Master gain on the Program and Coordination buses. These new settings are located on the “Mixing” page on the screen or the “Audio” page of the html interface.
• Ability to select an “Auto login” when the Operator password is blank. Selectable in the “Tools” menu (Administrator level required).
• Ability to update the firmware of the unit using a USB memory key.

Improvements :

• “Talk to Speaker” intercom function behavior: automatically add gain to the source contribution when the associated monitoring level is low or even muted.
• For intercom functions, ability to select fading or muting for the non relevant signals.
• Ability to route the “Program return” and “Coord. return” audio sources to all outputs.
• Added support for MPEG L2 coding at 32 kHz for AoIP calls, in single and double codec modes.

Fixed issues :

• The “4 Talk 3” intercom function was not operative.
• Embedded web interface: in case the network for remote access is supported by a removable device (e.g. 4G stick) and it becomes unavailable (device unplugged), an erroneous “Auto” was displayed.

New features :

• Added support for the AETA “Double Streaming” system: ability to secure an audio over IP link by establishing two AoIP connections containing the same audio stream via two separate routes.

Improvements :

• Added support for MPEG L2 coding at 32 kHz for ISDN calls, in single and double codec modes.
• Removed linear coding from the codec list for AoIP calls for a better user experience, as the high CPU load caused a slow response on the user interface.

Fixed issues :

• Fixed the ASC codes used within the SIP INVITE messages for AAC-LC and HE-AAC dual mono coding at 48 kHz (AoIP calls in single codec mode).

When updating a unit to this version, make sure to update the MyScoopTeam application as well (LE or RE edition, version 1.5.0.4518 or newer).

Fixed issues :

• Regression introduced in version 1.04 : failure of the domain name resolution in some network access configurations (public DNS server address). As a consequence, malfunction when a domain name is used for the SIP or the STUN server.

When updating a unit to this version, make sure to update the MyScoopTeam application as well (LE or RE edition, version 1.4.1.4478).

New features :

• Added an “Information banner” on the home page of the front panel that summarizes the current status of the codecs and the links.
• Ability to select an operation mode in which the “Side tone” of a given commentary position is muted as long as the associated input is routed neither to the “Program” nor the “Coordination” buses: selection in a new sub-menu “Audio > Monitoring options”.
• Ability to configure and monitor the Ravenna / AES67 interface from the “Audio” menu of the front panel.

Improvements :

• “Remote Assistance/Access” service: ability to select the network interface that will be used for remote access (“Tools” menu of the front panel, or “Maintenance/Remote Access” html page).
  The “Auto” choice is still available, in which the interface is always the same as the one used for audio transmission.

Fixed issues :

• “Monitoring” page 1 or 2: inversion of the order of the RAV.1 and RAV.2 virtual potentiometers if the assignment of a lateral potentiometer is changed.
• After a power cycle, failure to “redial” by using a contact input (GPI).

New features :

• Added support for the “Remote Assistance/Access” service. The settings for this service are accessible from the “Tools” menu or the “Maintenance” embedded html page. The state of the service is shown on the “Status” menu and the “Status” html page.

Improvements :

• Microphone gain extended to a 0 to 50 dB range.
• The limiter/compresser automatically switches to stereo operation (gain coupling) whenever the audio configuration is stereo.
• The setup of an “Auto Redial” call is deferred until the user has logged in.
• The “AES Sync Loss” alarm is now treated as an irrelevant alarm.
• The serial number of the unit is now displayed in the “About” section of the “Status” page.

Important notice: if a password is set for accessing the html pages, you MUST reset it to a blank value (refer to page Maintenance/Login data), BEFORE performing this firmware update.
Once the update is completed, you can later set a password again.

New features :

• In the “Single AoIP codec” setup, ability to use stereo coding with Opus or MPEG Layer II.
• In the “Single ISDN codec” setup, ability to use stereo coding with MPEG Layer II, AAC-LC or HE-AAC.

Web pages security improvements :

• Implementation of HTTPS for the embedded server.
• Enhanced protection against attacks.
• Implemented a technique to prevent from Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks.

Improvements :

• When importing a configuration file, the login password is not affected (previously, the password possibly included in the configuration file was also imported).
• More settings included in the “Audio” page, with now the routing for all inputs/outputs and the gain adjustment for all inputs.
• Opus coding is upgraded to version 1.2.1.
• Ability to call a couple of ISDN numbers for setting a 2B connection (128 kbit/s).
• Support for following 4G/LTE USB sticks: Huawei E392, E398 and E3276, Vodafone K5005.

Fixed issues :

• Ability to connect to a Wi-Fi network that does not broadcast its SSID.

Improvements :

• Ability to handle multiple numbers for ISDN calls.
