CHAPTER 1: Introduction
Figure 1.0
Welcome to the Simian Remote Client for PC. BSI is proud to introduce you to the newest, most powerful
feature addition to the Simian product family. We’ve spent many, many hours developing and perfecting
the Simian Gateway and Simian Remote Clients so they will be as reliable and useful as is possible.
Simian Remote for PC is a remote control client written to natively interact with your Simian Pro 2.2
automation system. It connects to the Simian Gateway over a TCP/IP connection, which in turn connects
to the Simian automation system. That means that you will now be able to control your on-air Simian
machine over your local network, or over the internet, which means you can control your studio anywhere
you have an internet connection!
The Simian Remote for PC is a remote client built for running on Windows XP and Windows 7 32bit
Professional. BSI has also built the Simian Remote fir iPad, which allows you to remote control your
Simian 2.2 Pro automation system from an iPad as well. This manual is only concerned with the PC
version, though.
Not only do the Simian Remote clients allow you to perform remote control of your Simian automation
system, it also gives you full Remote Voice Tracking capability. The Simian Gateway even produces
highly compressed versions of the intro and segue portions of your songs which the Simian Remote client
downloads so you can fully preview the Voice Tracks you create remotely and set the intro and segue
points precisely, just as if you were in the production studio at your facility!
We hope you enjoy your new software, and that it simplifies and takes your broadcasting experience to a
whole new level.
