Product Overview
The Christie Pandoras Box Version 8 Software License with 6 outputs (157-082101-01) brings the full Pandoras Box media server and show control feature set to your own hardware. It operates in Master or Client mode and can be combined with other licenses to increase output count. Version 8 includes NDI, SDVoE, Dante, and Notch support under a single license.
Product Description
Pandoras Box Version 8 is a complete software platform for media playback, compositing, and show control across fixed installations, live corporate events, and architectural or artistic installations such as museums and theaters. This 6-output license runs in Master or Client mode within a Pandoras Box network, and output counts scale by combining licenses. The toolset includes timeline programming with non-linear editing, multi-user control, multi-preview, and uncompressed video playback at 10-bit color depth. Projection alignment is handled internally with real-time keystone, edge blending, and image warping. Integration is broad: NDI inputs, SDVoE and Christie Terra inputs, native Dante audio, DMX512/Art-Net/MA-NET/sACN/CITP protocols, Matrix DMX pixel mapping, MIDI and MIDI Show Control, and LTC SMPTE timecode in/out. Notch integration enables real-time generative content, and pre-visualization plus export and recording tools support offsite programming. The interface supports nine languages. Note: software purchases are not eligible for return; confirm compatibility and system requirements with our sales team before purchase.
