Latin America. Christie introduced version 6.5 of its multi-award-winning Christie Pandoras Box media server. Version 6.5 comes with a large number of additional advantages for integrators and end users, among which a new and powerful rendering engine that ensures an improvement in the performance of this tool.
Now with the ability to simultaneously manage more video files or higher resolutions, avoiding, in addition, the annoying effect of color banding. The 10-bit depth of color reproduction reaches the Rec.2020 color gamut in HDR and 4K resolution applications, retaining the full color palette (4:4:4) without chrominance subsampling for better image quality.
Markus Zeppenfeld, Christie's Product Manager, said: "Delivering distortion-free 10-bit images at 240fps elevates solutions to an unprecedented level of quality. It is amazing to see that chromatic perfection projected on the screen or on an LED video wall. The direct use of DPX streams in Pandoras Box makes the job easier, as it does not require additional coding. The colors remain perfect and lossless, user intervention is reduced to a minimum and the quality of reproduction is maximum."
