Magewell has announced version 3.0 of its Director Mini production and streaming system, featuring more than 50 enhancements in the new firmware upgrade.
Director Mini version 3.0 will be available as a free firmware update with upgrades to its production toolset, remote control capabilities and input flexibility.
New scene presets are available, including picture-in-picture, side-by-side, quad-splits and more, with Director Mini’s built-in scoreboard engine now offering four new templates for soccer including stoppage time and player substitution.
The device’s integrated graphics capabilities now offer animated titles and lower thirds, while numerous user interface improvements for scene layouts and graphics are available.
Remote control options have also been extended, with a free Director Utility mobile app which incorporates live program video and audio monitoring, multi-step shortcut creation and editing, instant replay control, and replay event sharing. Director Min’s browser-based web UI has also been expanded to include instant replay controls.
New features also include the ability to encode Director Mini’s multi-view output (program output, preview output and multiple input sources) for recording, streaming or NDI distribution, as well as support for captive portal authentication in shared Wi-Fi environments, USB tethering to use a smartphone’s cellular data connectivity, and other fixes and improvements.
