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.

Edit IFB allows IFB program source assignments from a standard key-panel. Assign a program to your IFB or switch from one program feed to another at the press of a button on your control panel.

(included with Director)

Edit Conference allows adding and/or deleting members of a conference (party line) from a standard key-panel. Edit Conference even allows you to specify a member to talk-only, listen-only or talk and listen to the conference. You can choose which conferences to edit from a given key-panel and restrict others.

(included with Director)

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.

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.
