Receiving Audio in Meeting Director

Cinamaker requires audio to be transmitted to the Meeting Director App through iOS devices. 


Meeting Director accepts up to eight (8) iOS devices for capturing audio. The iOS devices you use as cameras can also be used to capture audio. So if you are using 4 iPhones as cameras, you can add an additional four iPhones but they would only become Audio Capture devices in this example.

*iOS Devices: Cameras and Audio Capture devices

Cinamaker Capture, our free companion software,  is required on each of your iOS capture devices  


** Digital Cameras

In addition to iOS cameras, Meeting Director gives you the flexibility of using a variety of digital video cameras, including DSLRs, camcorders, and professional video cameras. Cinamaker is able to accept both video and audio from digital cameras. 


To use digital cameras you will require an HDMI encoder or video capture card for each camera.

*NOTE: It is imperative that your digital cameras output CLEAN HDMI. This is important as your image from digital cameras can output to Cinamaker the screen artifacts you see in the viewfinder of the camera. Please refer to your camera's user manual to determine if your camera supports Clean HDMI.
