Soundcraft ViSi Remote vs Custom Control App

Soundcraft ViSi Remote 3.6.2 is an iOS application that allows remote control of Soundcraft Vi, Si Compact, Si Performer, Si Expression and Si Impact mixing consoles wirelessly from an iPad device using no additional hardware other than a wireless router connected to the Harman HiQnet® Ethernet port of the console. With ViSi Remote you are free to roam the venue and adjust mixes and other audio parameters directly from the iPad. Applications: • Optimise the front of house mix from anywhere in the room • Set mic gains and 48V from the stage • Adjust monitor levels while standing next to the artist • Adjust channel strip settings remotely from the console • Use to extend the fader count of an existing control surface • Use in standalone (demo) mode for familiarisation with console functions • Control a network of consoles, e.g., FOH and Monitor • Provide a separate surface for DMX functionality (Si Performer only) • Allow multiple users on the same console to control their own mixes • Have a global metering overview or “meter bridge” as an extension of the console ViSi Remote 3.6.2 Console Minimum Software Requirements: (Latest software is available on the Soundcraft website) Si Impact: V1.0 build 0010 or higher Si Performer: V1.6 build or higher Si Expression: V1.6 build or higher Si Compact: V3.0 build or higher Vi1/2/4/6: V4.9 or higher Vi200: V6.4 or higher Vi400/600: V6.3 or higher Vi1000: V6.3 or higher Vi2000: V6.3 or higher Vi3000: V6.3 or higher Vi5000/7000: V6.3 or higher Note: For Vi & Si consoles, the latest software listed above is needed in order to access the full channel processing and metering functions.

The Custom Control app provides customized control interfaces for compatible Allen & Heath installed audio systems. The level of control offered, app layout and graphics can be varied for different user types and devices, providing each user with an interface that is optimized for their role. The user interface is designed via a Custom Control editor for Windows and Mac OS – this is typically undertaken by a systems integrator. Access to all levels, mutes, sends, preset recalls, source selection and metering is provided, and tabs can be configured for access to multiple control pages or zones. Once complete, the configuration is uploaded to an Allen & Heath dLive MixRack, ready for deployment. Any device running the Custom Control app can log into the system with a given user name, at which point the correct user interface is downloaded and displayed. This allows for both kiosk applications and bring-your-own-device use, since the configuration is deployed on demand. Features: - Multiple user interfaces (per user, per device type) - Custom graphics and background - BYOD friendly - Optional password protection Allen & Heath is a leading creator of audio mixing systems for live sound and fixed installation. www.allen-heath.com/installation
