A Sooloos system is made of four logical blocks :-
Core (AKA broker) - The control software for the entire system, all control and status messages are sent to and from the core.
Store - As the name suggests all content resides here. The store also manages backup and upgrade packages.
Control - Runs the user interface
Source (AKA zone) - Takes content from the store, decodes and sends to digital and analogue outputs.
There must be only one Core, but there can be multiple Stores/Controls/Sources.
In general each source drives a separate zone, the content library may be spread across several stores and each control is synchronised via the core so that changes to one appear on them all.
The physical products each contain some mixture of the logical blocks:-
ID40 - Source (digital)
MS600 - Source (digital & analogue)
Control 15 - Core + Store + Source + Control + Rip ('All-in-one')
MC200 - Core + Store + Source
MC600 - Core + Store + 6 x Sources
MD200 - Store
iPad/iPhone app - Control
ControlPC/Mac - Control + Source + Rip
Control10 - Core + Source + Control + Rip
ControlOne - Control + Rip
Ensemble - Core + Store + 5x Sources (1x Digital, 4 Analogue)
TwinStore - Store
SourceOne - Core + Source
SourceFive - 5x Sources
