Virgil: Remote Controller

Your guide through the circles.

Virgil puts the routing matrix for your Dante-enabled audio network in your pocket. Walk the room, stand at FOH or backstage, and patch, check and adjust devices from your phone. No laptop, no extra hardware.

PATCH FROM A GRID YOU ALREADY KNOW
• Transmitters across the top, receivers down the side. Press and hold where they meet to patch or unpatch, so a stray tap never changes your show.
• Finger-sized boxes, a crosshair that lights up the row and column you're touching, a filling ring while you hold, and haptic confirmation.
• Tap the + where two devices meet to open both, or hold it to patch 1:1 in one move (channel 1→1, 2→2…).
• Expand or collapse everything in one tap.
• Pinch to zoom out over a big system, search to filter by device name.
• Green means connected. Amber and red flag trouble, with the reason.
• Stays in sync: when someone patches from Dante Controller at FOH, Virgil updates on its own.
• Device names stay pinned at the edge while you scroll through their channels.

AT A GLANCE
• Clock and Events lights: green when all is well, red when something needs a look.
• Tap Clock for every device's clock role and sync, with a warning if two devices both claim to be leader.
• Tap Events for a log of what happened since you opened Virgil: devices lost and found, failed patches with the reason, clock changes.

DEVICE CONTROL
Long-press any device for its info and settings:
• Model, manufacturer, firmware and IP
• Identify: flash the LEDs to find the box in the rack
• Rename devices and channels, or reset them to factory names
• Sample rate, bit depth and latency
• Analog input and output levels on AVIO adapters
• Clock role and sync status, plus preferred leader
• Clear old patches to devices that are no longer on the network
• Reboot, with confirmation

PRESETS
• Save the routing for a show and recall it later. Virgil shows exactly what will change before it touches anything.

BUILT FOR THE WORK
• Talks directly to devices on your local network. No account, no cloud, no ads, no tracking.
• Handles busy Wi-Fi gracefully and tells you when the network drops a reply instead of hanging.
• Keeps the screen awake while you work (switchable).
• Tells you what to check when no devices show up.
• Runs on Android 10 and newer, portrait or landscape.
• Works with TalkBack: every box and header is described, and double-tap-and-hold patches.

GOOD TO KNOW
• Your phone must be on the same network as the Dante primary interfaces.
• Supports both the classic and newer (ARC 2.8.15) Dante control protocols.
• Devices enrolled in Dante Domain Manager aren't supported.
