Magewell Director Mini
- the all-in-one system for live production and streaming.
Director Mini combines multi-input switching, graphics, streaming, recording and monitoring in one compact device. It allows a single operator to easily create visually compelling productions for live event coverage, remote production feeds and more.
Flexible layouts and powerful production tools
Director Mini's intuitive user interface is operated via the integrated AMOLED touchscreen. Users can define multiple scenes that combine live video and audio inputs with network streams, media sources and graphics, and then switch or transition smoothly between these scenes. Production tools such as chroma keying, graphics and telestration further enhance your content.
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 or up to two NDI® HX sources. File-based media content such as video, audio and images can also be freely combined with live sources.
High-quality streaming and recording
Director Mini can encode video at up to 1080p at 60 frames per second and bitrates of up to 30 Mbps. 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 memory.
