Magewell Director Plus Portable 4K Production and Streaming System

The Magewell Director Plus Portable 4K Production and Streaming System combines multi-camera switching, recording, encoding, graphics, monitoring, and quad-destination streaming in one compact device. It handles wired, wireless, and IP sources while producing landscape or vertical programs at resolutions up to 2160p60.

Built for live events, sports, worship, education, corporate presentations, and mobile production, Director Plus accepts four HDMI sources, two USB AV sources, and up to ten simultaneous IP feeds. Producers can create layered scenes, add lower thirds, use chroma keying, annotate video, control PTZ cameras, and capture instant replays directly from the integrated touchscreen.

A built-in 5G modem, Wi-Fi 6E, 2.5Gb Ethernet, and network bonding support reliable remote streaming from studios or field locations. Productions can stream to four destinations while recording four isolated sources for post-production. The 7-inch AMOLED touchscreen, dual hot-swappable NP-F battery support, internal storage, external media recording, and included stand kit create a flexible professional workflow.
