PRG Mbox Studio Now Available for PurchaseProduction Resource Group, L.L.C. (PRG) announces the Mbox Studio, a software-only media server application, is now available for purchase. A compact version of the Mbox media server, this product can be easily installed and operated on a user-supplied Intel-based Apple Mac computer (Intel processor, OSX 10.6.7 and higher). Mbox Studio, with fewer parameters and less complex operations, offers functionality and versatility. It operates identically to the full Mbox in both movie playback, effects, and in transition functions. Designed primarily for playback of SD content, it can also handle HD content. It offers eight playback layers and a fully functional pixel mapping toolset. A free demo content library, available as a separate download, can be used as a starting point for content creation with Mbox Studio. Mbox Studio Version 3.6 is the first public release of the Mbox Studio software. Users of Mbox Studio may also download Mbox Director, a graphical user interface (GUI) control application, at no charge. Director provides control of all aspects of Mbox Studio content and playback directly, eliminating the requirement for a lighting control console the company says. Alternatively, a moving light console can be used to control Mbox Studio and fixture profiles exist for popular consoles. ![](/std_images/blank.gif)
