Product Overview
The Christie Pandoras Box Version 8 Software License, 2 Outputs (157-078106-01) puts the full Pandoras Box media server feature set on your own hardware with two licensed outputs. Licenses can be combined to increase output count, and the software operates in either Master or Client mode within a Pandoras Box system. Version 8 bundles the entire feature suite — including NDI, SDVoE, Dante, and Notch — under a single license.
Product Description
Pandoras Box V8 is Christie's real-time media server software for compositing, playback, and show control, and this license activates it with two outputs on hardware you specify. The unified V8 licensing model removes feature tiers: every license includes NDI inputs, SDVoE/Christie Terra inputs, native Dante audio, and Notch real-time effects integration. Production teams get timeline programming with non-linear editing, multi-user control, multi-preview, uncompressed playback with 10-bit color depth, and pre-visualization for offline programming. Output processing includes real-time keystone, edge blending, and image warping, which makes the two licensed outputs suitable for blended projection as well as discrete displays. Show control integration spans DMX512, Art-Net, MA-NET, sACN, and CITP protocols, matrix DMX pixel mapping, MIDI and MIDI Show Control, and LTC SMPTE timecode in and out. The license scales — combine multiple licenses to raise output count, and run nodes in Master or Client mode across a networked system. Note: software purchases are not eligible for return; contact our sales team with compatibility questions before purchase.
