Flexible Layouts and Powerful Production Tools

Director Mini’s intuitive user interface is accessed through its integrated AMOLED touchscreen.

Production tools, including chroma keying, graphics, and telestration further enhance your content.

High-Quality Streaming and Recording

Director Mini can encode video up to 1080p60 and bitrates up to 30 Mb/s. Productions can be streamed via RTMP to popular platforms such as YouTube Live, Facebook Live, or custom destinations.
