02 / SHOWWRANGLER STATION
A proper desk
for every position.
Put another Mac at the A2 desk, show caller’s position, playback rack or stage manager’s station. Station joins the Mac Host and opens the workspace for the role you sign in with.
The Host keeps the shared show. Station follows its live cues, talent and mic status, and lets your crew send updates back to that same show.
