Mbox Director

Mbox Director

Video has become an increasingly important element in live entertainment. The Mbox® media server software gives users easy to use and flexible solutions for video playback and composition. While the Mbox software can be controlled by a lighting console, that may not be the right choice for everyone, and that’s where Mbox Director comes in. Director is the easiest way to start programming and running shows with the Mbox software, and due to its advanced features it can also be used on larger and more complex shows.
