Coolux to Present Pandoras Box Version 5 at LDI

At this year's LDI Show, October 28-30, Orlando, Florida, coolux will present its new Pandoras Box Version 5 to an American audience for the first time.

With the new Version 5 it is now possible to use Pandoras Box all the way from the inception of a project idea, right up until the actual production, the company says.

The five most distinct highlights of this groundbreaking new release include:

Video export and recording: The video export offers users to greatly improve their work flow and export entire scenes as HD video while having the flexibility of a real-time editing system, the company says. For live video ingest, you can now record and capture from any live input source up to 2K/HD. Aeon FX engine: The dynamic shader effects engine enables users to create and combine an almost unlimited number of effects. All effects and animations are automatically synchronized across the system network.

FireFly 3D particle system: FireFly allows for the creation of elaborate real-time particle effects in a true interactive 3D compositing space. Various emitters can be setup and applied with forces such as wind and gravity.

QUAD HD output: The new QUAD Server and QUAD Player workstations offer users up to four independent HD DVI outputs with built-in EDID management.

ASIO multi-channel audio: The Pandoras Box Manager software now supports ASIO audio interfaces and offers synchronized multi-channel audio playback.

On the hardware side, the new members of the coolux product family include a number of new server types streamlined for dedicated applications, in addition to hardware based Pandoras Box Player turnkey solutions. Coolux can be found at Booth #963.
