Magewell has introduced its most extensive feature update yet for the Director Mini all-in-one production and streaming system, with more than 50 enhancements in the new version 3.0 firmware upgrade. The company also announced new lower pricing that makes the power of Director Mini accessible to an even wider range of houses of worship.
Director Mini combines multi-input switching, graphics, streaming, recording and monitoring in one compact device. Already highly acclaimed for packing a huge array of features into its small, portable form factor, version 3.0 makes Director Mini even more powerful with dozens of enhancements to its production toolset, remote control capabilities and input flexibility.
New scene presets – including picture in-picture, side-by-side, quad-splits and more – make it even faster and easier for users to create scene layouts incorporating multiple camera angles and sources. Director Mini’s integrated graphics capabilities now include animated titles and lower thirds, while numerous user interface refinements make working with scene layouts and graphics quicker yet more precise.
Director Mini’s versatile remote control options have also been extended, letting producers and assistants control even more aspects of Director Mini from mobile devices and laptops. The free Director Utility mobile app now incorporates live program video and audio monitoring among other new features.
Director Mini’s input flexibility – which already included HDMI, USB, NDI®, SRT, RTMP and mobile camera inputs – has been further expanded with support for RTSP streams and HTML webpage sources. Version 3.0 can also use NDI® High Bandwidth sources with alpha channel as motion overlays, ideal for integration with third-party lyrics presentation systems.
Despite expanding the power of Director Mini, Magewell has also made it even more affordable by reducing its list price to $1099USD. This opens the door for even smaller houses of worship to enjoy Director Mini’s unique benefits.
