NEW Various Utilities and Tools

Enrich your user interface with utilities such as analog or digital clocks and other handy tools.


Create intuitive user interfaces with just a few clicks

Director allows you to place and arrange controls for operating calls, adjusting audio loudness and many more functions on a fully customizable graphic workspace. Create interactive maps of your buildings / facilities and productively manage their evacuation systems. Save time and money by using director's flexible interactive workspace editor to easily adapt the software to your constantly changing needs.


See what's going on in your PA system

Director visualizes the usage of your announcement zones in real-time. You can monitor the status of the system's devices, view event messages and more.


Manage users and control access

Keep control of the parts of user interface the personnel may view or change. Create secure areas that can only be accessed by authorized staff.


Delight your audience with comfortable loudness

Background music usually is comfortable only if the loudness is moderate. With director you keep control of the audio volume in your acoustic zones. Prepare loudness presets for various occasions, fine tune the volume in every different zone and assign different loudness for background music or announcement calls.


Extend your workspace to many monitors

Director is the ideal solution for multi-monitor desktop environments such as control center work places.


Analyze system messages

System messages are automatically recorded by director and stored in a database. Analyze what has happened by utilizing director's powerful search filters. The security personnel can acknowledge new errors and attach comments.
