Multiple Input Sources Simultaneously

Users can switch between two HDMI inputs and two USB AV inputs as well as three simultaneous live IP sources including SRT streams, RTMP streams and NDI® HX sources. File-based media assets including video, audio and images can also be combined freely with live sources.

Flexible Layouts and Powerful Production Tools

Director Mini’s intuitive user interface is accessed through its integrated AMOLED touchscreen. Users can define multiple scenes that combine live video and audio inputs with network streams, media sources and graphics, then switch or transition between these scenes on the fly. Production tools including chroma keying, graphics and telestration further enhance your content.

Director Utility App

The Director Utility app works as a remote assistant to provide remote configuration, audio controls, input switching, scoreboard control and more. The app can also turn the smartphone’s camera into a streaming source as a mobile input to the Director Mini hardware, further enhancing the multi-camera production possibilities of the system.

High-quality Streaming and Recording

Director Mini can encode video up to 1080p at 60 frames per second and bitrates up to 30Mbps. Productions can be streamed via RTMP to popular platforms such as YouTube™ Live, Facebook™ Live, or custom destinations. SRT output supports high-quality remote production workflows, while NDI® HX3 output is ideal for local IP-based production. Content can also be recorded to an SD card, USB flash drive or the device’s internal storage. Two-channel ISO recording lets users choose from the program output, HDMI inputs or USB inputs.

Ideal for Production in the Studio or in the Field

Director Mini can be powered with the included power adapter but also supports two NP-F hot-swappable external batteries (not included), enabling it to be used anywhere and ensuring uninterrupted power for long productions. When one of the batteries runs down during the show, the device will automatically switch to the other one.
