What ViSi Remote does NOT do!
ViSi Remote is an on-line controller only and although it can function off-line in a demo or training capacity it cannot be
used as an off-line editor because ViSi Remote synchronizes with the console in one direction only, always receiving the
current settings from the attached host console(s) from the console. For off-line setup we provide a range of console
specific off line editors which can be downloaded from
About this manual
This manual is intended as a guide for users new to the ViSi Remote iPad application; it covers basic setup requirements
on the Vi and Si consoles, ViSi Remote specific settings on the iPad and describes the functionality offered by the ViSi
Remote app. Owing to the vast number of routers and similar devices available it does not cover setup and management
of the wireless router or similar devices used in the network.
This manual assumes familiarity with the Apple iPad and working knowledge of the Soundcraft consoles intended for use
with ViSi Remote.
Examples illustrated in this manual were tested using Apple iOS5.0.1.
Nomenclature
A word in square brackets [function_name] denotes a function of some kind; the term 'key' is used for a hardware based
switch or similar such as [MENU] key whilst the term 'button' or 'tab' denotes an item on a screen such as [SYSTEM]
button. The terms scroll/swipe are considered interchangeable.
Setting up
The most basic typical setup is illustrated below however other combinations are possible including multiple Soundcraft
consoles connected to the same wireless router and multiple iPad devices controlling the same console..
NOTE: It is recommended to use a dedicated wireless router for the 'console / ViSi Remote' connection to avoid risk
that other devices sharing the router will consume all the bandwidth.
NOTE: To prevent 'unauthorized' connections to your wireless system it is recommend enabling the security on your
router.
NOTE: Significant traffic or interference in the Wi-Fi domain may cause sluggish or unreliable operation; if you
experience such problems we recommend you seek specialist advice from a Wi-Fi IT professional.
Setting IP addresses
Before ViSi Remote can be used on-line a network connection must be established between the iPad and console, the
simplest solution is to set the router as a DHCP server and set the consoles and iPad to use DHCP addressing. Refer to
user guide for your console for details on how to adjust the console IP address settings.
