Seamless integration
A lot of effort has been put into the integration of the AudioScope into our customers' existing infrastructure. The AudioScope seamlessly integrates with the most commonly used outside broadcast equipment in studios and in OB-vans. The system can be driven by an LTC signal from up to five EVS systems.

The AudioScope consists of one or more microphone arrays, a signal distribution unit, a signal processing unit and a storage system. Inside the microphone array there is a wide-angle camera to provide live video to the user interface. The massive signal processing power provides real-time processing of audio from hundreds of microphone elements in the array. System overview

The system has a very intuitive user interface to enable fast and accurate operation of the AudioScope. The AudioScope control panel and a monitor are easily integrated in your production environment. The live picture from the integrated camera is displayed on the monitor and the operator simply uses the trackball to point where to zoom in and capture the sound. It is all designed to make an uncomplicated production in an extremely hectic outside broadcast-production situation.
