Supported systems
| Platform | Supported versions |

A network connection is required for license activation. After activation, ArenaDirector continues to work during temporary outages.
Hardware you'll need
Computer — any Mac or PC that meets the operating system requirements above. ArenaDirector is designed for venue control workstations, so a machine you keep at the operator desk is ideal.
Audio device — a sound card or audio interface connected to your amplification system. ArenaDirector routes audio to named mixers, so interfaces with multiple outputs let you send different sounds to different zones at the same time.
Displays — one or more screens for video canvases. You can design canvases before any screens are connected and assign them to displays later, so there is nothing to plug in just to get started.
Hardware controller (optional) — a supported MIDI or HID controller for firing slots from a physical button panel. Without one, you run the show with the mouse on the on-screen grid, and you can add a controller at any time.
