The JoeCoRemote app allows the user to remotely control a JoeCo BlackBox Recorder or JoeCo BlackBox Player. A demonstration mode is provided that shows the basic "look" of the app. It also allows access to an embedded web page that guides the user through connecting and operating their BlackBox using the app. To access the full app feature set and menus, connection to a BlackBox Recorder/Player is required. JoeCo BlackBox products are professional multi-track audio recorders and players designed for capturing or reproducing audio in live environments including music performance applications, broadcast, installation markets, houses of worship and theatres. JoeCo BlackBox Recorders are available in 24-channel and 64-channel versions, with a variety of professional audio interfaces. JoeCoRemote provides remote control of all transport functions (PLAY, STOP, RECORD) and access to the menu structure for changing settings. When used with a BlackBox Player, JoeCoRemote allows the user to modify playlists and select individual songs for live multi-channel playback. JoeCoRemote requires a JoeCo BlackBox unit and a JoeCo WiFi interface to achieve full connectivity. There is also the ability to create a physical wired connection when used in areas with excessive WiFi noise.
