Digital Director allows users to manage their photo and video workflow from their iPad screen via a tethered cable.

Originally launched in 2015, Digital Director is an Apple-certified electronic device that works as an interface between Canon or Nikon DSLRs and an iPad Air, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 2 and iPad mini 3, and now also iPad mini 4 and iPad Pro. Furthermore, the CPU embedded within Digital Director and the free dedicated Digital Director app work as one to connect the two devices. This allows users to manage their photo as well as video workflow—from controlling camera settings and editing images to managing and sharing files—all from their iPad screen via a tethered cable connection. The tethered cable also enables the camera to be placed in awkward, difficult-to-reach positions and to be remotely controlled by the user.
