One Device.
Every Industry.
No Studio Required.
The complete guide to how a single portable 4K live production, switching, streaming and recording system replaces an entire broadcast control room — for organisations of every size, in every sector.
Every Source In. Every Destination Out.
Designed around "any source, anywhere" — the Director Plus accepts virtually any video signal and delivers it to virtually any destination simultaneously. No other single device at this price point offers this breadth of connectivity.

What It Replaces. What It Saves.
A traditional live production and streaming setup requires multiple devices, software licences and ongoing maintenance. Here's a realistic cost comparison for a small organisation setting up professional multi-camera live streaming.
Traditional Setup (Equivalent Capability)
With the Director Plus
vs a traditional equivalent multi-device setup — with lower ongoing costs, less complexity and a single device to maintain.
No Engineering Contract
Self-install and self-operate. No AV engineer, no production company, no call-out fees.
No Subscriptions
Full production capability built-in. No OBS plugins, no vMix licence, no encoder software to renew.
No Power Infrastructure
Hot-swap NP-F batteries — no mains power, no generator hire, no cable runs at events.
One Device to Insure
One serial number, one warranty to manage — instead of six separate devices.
One Person Operation
A single trained staff member or volunteer runs the entire production.
No Freight or Shipping
Fits in a laptop bag — fly with it, take it on the train, carry it anywhere.
Works With Everything You Already Use
Native streaming destinations, hardware encoder output, or plug-and-play USB webcam — no drivers, no configuration.

View Director Plus →Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you buy.
Yes — for most organisations, absolutely. A modern portable 4K production system combines video switching for up to 16 sources, a multi-format hardware encoder, graphics engine, audio mixer, ISO recorder and simultaneous multi-platform streaming in a single unit. Tasks that previously required a vision mixer, hardware encoder, streaming PC, audio console and graphics workstation — totalling £4,000–£10,000+ and requiring a trained crew — are now handled by one device operated by a single person.
No specialist training is required. The 7-inch AMOLED touchscreen provides an intuitive scene-based interface that most operators learn in under an hour. The free Director Utility app provides remote control from a smartphone. iView Data Ltd provides full UK technical support with every purchase.
Yes. Both work via RTMP — enter the stream URL and stream key from the platform into the Director's streaming configuration and it broadcasts directly. The Director Plus also features a 9:16 portrait mode specifically for vertical social media content. Instagram resets the stream key after each session so you'll need a new key each time.
The Director Utility app is Magewell's free companion app for iOS and Android. It provides full remote control over Wi-Fi or LAN including scene switching, audio control and stream management. It also lets you use your phone as a live camera source (up to 3 simultaneously), your phone microphone as audio input, and mirror the Director Plus screen to your phone. Completely free — no subscription, no licence fee, no in-app purchases.
Insert any compatible data SIM into the built-in 5G SIM slot and the device connects automatically. It bonds 5G with Wi-Fi 6E and 2.5G Ethernet simultaneously — if one connection drops, the others maintain the stream. Particularly useful at outdoor events, sports venues and remote locations where venue Wi-Fi is unreliable or unavailable.
Yes. AV integrators deploy Director Plus in permanent installations (boardrooms, lecture theatres, houses of worship) and portable rental inventory. REST API enables integration with Crestron and AMX. Control Hub provides centralised fleet management. OSC support enables trigger and automation from third-party systems.
Multi-link bonding combines 5G, Wi-Fi and Ethernet simultaneously. If one drops, the others carry the stream without interruption. Local ISO recording continues independently of internet connectivity — even if all streaming fails, the recording is safe on the 128GB internal storage.
Yes. iView Data Ltd is the authorised UK Magewell distributor. The Director Plus carries a 2-year manufacturer warranty on the device and 1-year on the screen. UK stock held for same-day dispatch on orders before 3pm on business days. Full UK technical support included with every purchase.
