Version 8 bundles the complete Pandoras Box feature set, including NDI, SDVoE, Dante, and Notch support, under a single license.

Product Description

Pandoras Box Version 8 brings professional media serving and show control to your own hardware. This 7-output license runs as either a control or playback device, and output counts can be expanded by stacking additional licenses, which makes the platform straightforward to scale as productions grow. The feature set covers timeline programming with non-linear editing, uncompressed video playback at 10-bit color depth, multi-user control, and multi-preview workflows. Real-time keystone, edge blending, and image warping are built in, so projection alignment is handled inside the server without external processors. Network and show integration is extensive: 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 adds real-time generative effects, and pre-visualization plus export and recording tools support programming offsite. The interface is available in nine languages. Note: software purchases are not eligible for return; contact our sales team to confirm compatibility and system requirements before purchase.
