In a video call

InterDirector has a camera and a microphone of its own for video calls: InterDirector Camera and InterDirector Audio. A meeting app lists them as it lists any camera and microphone, so Google Meet, Zoom, Teams, FaceTime and the rest see and hear your show.

Set them up once on each Mac

• InterDirector Audio is installed by InterDirector, which asks for your password: choose Install… beside the microphone in Tools › Meeting Apps…, or switch the microphone on and InterDirector offers it. InterDirector’s installer puts it in place too. Your Mac’s sound stops for a moment while it is put in place.
• InterDirector Camera comes inside InterDirector. Choose Tools › Install InterDirector Camera…, and macOS asks you to allow it: open System Settings › General › Login Items & Extensions › Camera Extensions and turn on InterDirector. A meeting app that is already open may need restarting to see it.

Both are updated with InterDirector. After an update, the camera replaces itself without asking; when the update carries a newer InterDirector Audio, InterDirector asks once whether to update it, since that needs your password, and Update… in Meeting Apps does it any time.

Send to them

Choose Tools › Meeting Apps…. What you choose there is saved with the Show, so it is sending again whenever the Show is open.

• InterDirector Camera shows Program as it goes out, overlays and all, or one input with its colour and Video FX. It sends at the size the meeting app chooses, 1080p or 720p, at 30 frames a second. While InterDirector is not sending, the camera shows a card saying so.
• InterDirector Audio plays Master or a bus, after its fader. To send one source alone, such as the presenter’s microphone, route it to a bus of its own and choose that bus. Delay holds the sound back, up to a second, to meet the camera’s picture.

Change either during the call: the meeting follows. In the meeting app, choose InterDirector Camera as the camera and InterDirector Audio as the microphone.

Your own view of yourself in a meeting app is usually mirrored; the others in the call see the picture the right way round.

The call sees and hears your show a moment later than it happens, as any viewer does. During a trial the camera carries the trial’s mark, as every output does.
