Guides
Live production on a Mac, job by job.
Each guide starts from something you want to get done, and says how InterDirector does it, step by step. For every control in detail, see Docs & Help.
- Stream a multi-camera show from a Mac From cameras to a live stream on one Mac: bring in each camera, give the show its sound, switch between them, and go live.
- Build your own multiview A monitor wall laid out your way: Program, Preview and every camera with tally borders, on any display, or over NDI to another room.
- Line up your cameras with the sound Lips that move before the voice? Measure how far each camera is behind the microphone with a phone on stage, and set every delay in one go.
- Switch NDI cameras on a Mac Bring NDI cameras and computers into a show over your network, switch them with tally on the cameras themselves, and send Program back out as NDI.
- Record every camera to its own file ISO recording on a Mac: record each camera clean, to its own file, alongside the live show, so it can be edited again afterwards.
- Stream to YouTube, Facebook and Twitch at once Two ways to reach several platforms at once: straight from your Mac, or one stream to InterDirector ReCast, which sends it on and keeps them live on a slate.
- Go live in portrait for Shorts, Reels and TikTok Send a vertical version of your show to Shorts, Reels or TikTok while the landscape stream goes to YouTube and the rest, from the same Mac and the same Program.
- Use your phone as a wireless camera Send a phone's camera to your Mac over Wi-Fi or the internet with RTMP or SRT, and switch it like any other camera in the show.
- A remote camera over mobile data Bring a phone or an encoder into your show from anywhere over 4G or 5G, with no open ports: InterDirector's own relay carries it to your Mac.
- Instant replay for a live sports stream Replay the goal, the knockout or the finish seconds after it happened: capture from Program, play it back in slow motion, and cut back live.
- Your live show as a camera in Zoom, Teams or Meet Send Program, graphics and all, into a video call as its camera and microphone, and bring the call back into your show without anyone hearing an echo.
- Lower thirds that update from a Google Sheet Keep speaker names and titles in a Google Sheet, bind a lower third to it, and step through the list during the show instead of retyping.
- Moving live production from Windows to the Mac Moving a live production setup from a Windows PC to a Mac: what carries over, from cameras and capture cards to habits, and what to check first.
- Run your show from your own software Scoreboards, schedules, custom panels and scripts: drive InterDirector through its documented control API, over a WebSocket or plain HTTP.
