Christie Pandoras Box V8.Software License, 4 Output - 157-080109-01

Product Overview

The Christie Pandoras Box Version 8 Software License with 4 outputs (157-080109-01) puts Christie's full real-time media server feature set on your own hardware. One license now includes the complete suite — NDI, SDVoE, Dante audio, and Notch real-time effects — with no feature tiers to navigate. The 4-output license drives four displays or projectors from a single machine and can be combined with other licenses to scale output count. It operates in either Master or Client mode within a Pandoras Box network.

Product Description

Pandoras Box V8 is a software-based media server for compositing, playback, and show control across fixed installations, live corporate events, museums, and theatrical productions. The timeline supports non-linear editing with multi-user control, so several operators can program simultaneously. Playback is uncompressed with 10-bit color depth, and multi-preview lets operators verify content before it hits the outputs. Native Dante audio, NDI inputs, and SDVoE/Christie Terra inputs bring networked AV sources directly into the composition, while Notch integration adds real-time generative effects. Show control is comprehensive: DMX512, Art-Net, MA-NET, sACN, and CITP protocols, matrix DMX pixel mapping, MIDI/MIDI Show Control, and LTC SMPTE timecode in and out. Real-time keystone, edge blending, and image warping handle projection alignment in software, and a pre-visualization mode lets you build shows offline. The license runs on hardware you choose, keeping the platform budget-conscious without sacrificing professional capability.
