About

Director Board

Features
Read full description

Turn any set of smartphones into a professional multi-camera setup β€” controlled from a single director's screen. Director Board lets you connect up to 4 devices as cameras and manage them all from one device: start recording, switch takes, and build your shot list β€” exactly like a real film set. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Most multi-camera apps require recent flagship devices β€” they rely on built-in multi-lens hardware, which only exists on newer models. Director Board works differently: cameras connect over your local Wi-Fi, so any device from older models and up works as a camera. That old device in a drawer? It's a production camera now. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Director Board on your controller device (iPad or main device) β€” Director mode. 2. On each camera device, open the app in Camera mode and scan the QR code or enter the room code. 3. Hit record. All cameras start simultaneously. Takes are saved on each device and organized in your Director view. BUILT FOR CREATORS Podcasters, YouTubers, interview filmmakers, event videographers β€” anyone who shoots multi-angle content without a full camera crew. Set up in under a minute. Record at 1080p. PRO SUBSCRIPTION Free plan includes 15 minutes of recording to try everything. Pro removes all limits: β€’ Unlimited recording time β€’ Up to 4 simultaneous cameras β€’ $9.99/month or $79.99/year Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
