Capable of playing back multiple layers of video in all common file formats up to 4k, these networkable systems can achieve seamless, blended projections as well as synchronous multi-screen displays. As a real-time 3D compositor, Pandoras Box integrates with audio, moving scenery, lighting, and other show elements for accurate synchronisation of a total sensory experience.
Signing of the TMB distribution agreement coincides with coolux's release of Pandoras Box Software Version 4.6, with new features such as 3D server preview; dual HD-SDI / DVI inputs; curve and clip editor; and support for additional protocols such as MA-Net, CITP, and MSC.
Also, designers and programmers can now benefit from comprehensive training at TMB coolux college, a two-day workshop providing hands-on, focused instruction on Pandoras Box hardware and software. This course presents general concepts for creating multi-media designs with Media Manager, Media Player, Widget Designer, and more. Several upcoming sessions will be announced, or check www.tmbtraining.com for schedules.
"This agreement is an almost inevitable step forward for both companies," says Colin Waters, TMB's CEO. "TMB has been active in the media server market for over 10 years. At a time when so many entertainment market segments have been - and remain - diminished, it's gratifying to be working with the leading products at the forefront of this vital, growing segment. Pandoras Box is a powerful creative tool, offering many unique benefits, and coolux is a true innovative force. We look forward to great things working together."
"Our award winning product range needs to be represented by highly skilled professionals, who can offer the best possible support to customers," says Helmut Protte, coolux international sales director. "We are confident and glad to have found such a team of professionals with TMB. We believe strongly that the combined industry experience and expertise of our two companies will pave the way for a successful future."
