The modularity of the Artist platform is also implemented with the Director configuration software. Already noted as a powerful tool Director can be enhanced by modular software add-ons like Edit IFB, Edit Conference, Partial Files, Audio Video Router or the Master Control Room.

The Partial Files add-on allows not only whole configurations but also parts of the configuration to be saved and reloaded as “partial files” so that system setups for different types of productions can be stored and recalled.

With this optional software package the system continuously monitors up to two external routing switchers and provides a conference based tracking of your Artist intercom system.

The Events/Scheduler add-on is a versatile tool to trigger pre-defined events (including MCR conferences) or configuration changes automatically.

With Master Control Room the individual conference intercom systems or 4-wire conference systems found in many broadcast installations can be easily replaced and integrated into the main intercom system. An integrated scheduler allows for pre-programming the start of regular conferences, e.g. the daily editorial conference at 9:00 am.

The Riedel Router Control Software (RRCS) provides a universal XML interface to enable third party router control systems to control Riedel Artist Intercom systems. Version 2.0 of the RRCS Software features an expanded set of XML commands for the software to allow for an even deeper integration of external third party control systems and Artist.
