It works with Canon and Nikon DSLRs* and iPad Air 2. DIGITAL DIRECTOR features a dedicated CPU (micro-processor ARM® Cortex®-A8) that together with its dedicated App, provides an interface between iPad and camera, which enables the iPad to understand and control the camera protocols:

all the key shooting parameters can be controlled starting from different camera protocols

the download of the high quality images into the iPad is very fast

The dedicated Digital Director App enables:
