Remote Access
Using a standard VPN, APEX automation gives you complete control of your automation from anywhere in the world.
Whether you want to give remote DJs access to voice track, import shows, modify your schedule or audio libraries, you will have complete remote control.
With a VPN, you can also share audio files between locations using the DHD-Tools software for quick distribution.
APEX Failsafe
APEX Failsafe is set up to run in parallel with your APEX automation, ready to take over in an emergency to keep your station on air and serving your community.
Typically run at a remote location, such as your transmitter site, APEX Failsafe is the perfect backup for any scenario. Utilizing silence sense technology, it will detect if any problems occur with your main studio feed.
For example, a storm cuts your connection from the main studio to your transmitter site. With APEX Failsafe running on a PC at the transmitter site, it will detect the silence and quickly put you back on air with your scheduled backup program.
The same benefits apply if you are doing an internet stream and want a backup stream.
APEX Failsafe grants peace of mind, knowing that you will be protected from what life throws at you, such as critical failures at your main studio caused by:
- Virus or ransomware.
- Computer failures, such as hard drive, motherboard, damaged hardware, or OS crashes.
- Theft or vandalism.
- Employee sabotage.
- Natural disasters, such as floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, or lightning strikes.
Setup.
For setup, simply connect the main feed from your studio to both the APEX Failsafe PC and transmitter. We will help you with every step of this process, and if needed, can provide audio cabling, as well as a pre-configured PC for an additional charge.
