Christie 172-125108-01 PK1 - Pandoras Box PK1 Server R5
Product Overview
The Christie Pandoras Box PK1 Server R5 (172-125108-01) is the entry point to Christie's flagship media server hardware line. It combines the full Pandoras Box software feature set with a purpose-built platform featuring dual Intel Xeon processors, an SSD RAID system, and Nvidia Quadro GPUs. The PK1 performance kit provides 960GB of SSD storage and 24GB of RAM, supporting uncompressed video playback up to 4K at 60 fps.
Product Description
Pandoras Box Server is a turnkey media server that unites real-time rendering with intuitive media and show control. The render engine performs real-time compositing in 3D, enabling projection onto surfaces of any shape, which is the core requirement of projection mapping and immersive installations. The PK1 configuration pairs dual Intel Xeon processors with 960GB of SSD RAID storage and 24GB of RAM, and Nvidia Quadro GPUs drive up to 8 DisplayPort outputs. An optional sync board is available for frame-locked multi-server systems. Content integrity is preserved end to end: the platform supports uncompressed playback up to 4K at 60 fps, so graded content reaches the screen without recompression artifacts. As the smallest of the three performance kits (PK1, PK2, PK3), the PK1 suits productions and installations that need flagship rendering capability with moderate storage requirements, with the same software feature set as the larger servers.
