Astounding Video Projection Possibilities with
Pandoras Box by Coolux® Media Systems GmbH

 

The Pandoras Box Media Server offers the best high performance link between projection and digital image compositing. A turnkey solution that perfectly unites state of the art rendering technology with intuitive media control.
A high-quality server featuring the most powerful render-engine offers real time compositing in 3D and allows projections on any shape and any surface. Arrange videos and images freely, change colour, form and position. Synchronize audio data and animate 3D objects such as logos and products.
It also has a physically accurate digital keystone feature for any distortion caused by off-angle projection. Multiple projectors can create seamless softedge-blended projections with user defined arbitrary combinations of horizontal and vertical blending.

Key Features

The Pandoras Box Media Server features a wide range of features and tools for real time video processing and projection. With the production workflow of our users in mind we always strive to create the most versatile tools that can be applied to different applications.


  • Output Configuration

    All Pandoras Box Media Servers feature full HD playback and output configuration. This means that both of the DVI output can be set to a resolution up to 1920x1080 at 60 or 50hz.

  • HD Playback

    As the HD format has become the standard for large scale projection, all Pandoras Box media systems support highdefinition video playback. The built-in HD Mpeg Encoder allows you to convert regular footage as well as custom resolutions to the right format depending on your projects requirements.

  • Video Formats

    Content is one of the most important items to take care of when working with media servers. Therefore Pandoras Box features a built-in HD Mpeg Media Encoder to let you transcode the source video clips to the right format.

    - Video Format: MPEG2, AVI, Quicktime
    - Image Format: .bmp, .jpg, .tga, .png
    - Audio Format: .mp3, .wav

  • 3D Multi-Layer System

    With a true 3D compositing environment and up to 16 video and 32 graphic layers, Pandoras Box offers a great amount of flexibility for creative real time media production. All layers can be freely positioned and animated in 3D space to create outstanding presentations and multi-media shows.

  • Effects Engine

    With over 200 transitions, 200 video effects and 50 different colour and keying filters accessible to every layer, video composition is brought to a new level of creative possibilities. Combine 3D objects with texture effects to create unique visual looks and styles.

  • Keystone Correction

    Pandoras Box Media Servers come with the patented keystone algorithm that enables you to correct for off-angle distortions accurately on the fly. This feature is especially useful for short setup time or when programming moving projectors.

  • Advanced Warping

    The built-in warping editor lets you create any custom shape with scalable free-form-deformers (FFD) that enable you to wrap almost any screen shape.

  • Softedge Blending

    The Softedge Blending feature works hand in hand with the built-in warping technology. This way either flat or shaped projections can be setup with multiple projectors. Each output can be offset independently and features individual control of the blend settings on each side of the output to allow both horizontal and vertical blend setups.

  • Live Input SD/HD SDI

    One of the key features of Pandoras Box is certainly the outstanding quality of the low-latency video input boards we have developed. Featuring both SD and HD SDI inputs with as low as 2 frame buffers of processing time, Pandoras Box comes with a set of real-time de-interlacers to process even interlaced camera feeds at full framerate.

  • Full Control

    Like all Pandoras Box products you may choose from one of the many protocols to control the system. You may use the powerful features of the built-in timeline or connect a DMX console to get full access to all parameters.

    TCP/IP, SMPTE, RS232/422, Art-Net, DMX are currently supported. And an SDK to access all parameters from 3rd party applications is provided as well.

  • Widget Designer

    If additional user interfaces are required for interaction or for permanent installs the Widget Designer lets you create custom control sets available to control all systems remotely over the network.

  • Optional DMX Matrix Plug-in

    For special Applications where LED or lighting fixtures are required to be patched to individual pixels, an optional DMX Matrix plug-in is available to output the rendering to multiple ArtNet universes.

    The complete MediaContent Library with over 2000 files is included with every Media Server.
