Company Profile

coolux - Who we are

The coolux GmbH was founded in Cologne, Germany on August 14th, 2003.

Right from the beginning, we decided to think outside the box of traditional video playback technology and to culti-vate an open mind for innovations in order to make a true technological leap in the world of real-time video.

This “leap” has a name. Pandoras Box.

What began as a niche technology has steadily grown into an indispensable part of the modern AV industry in all its forms.

coolux Pandoras Box media servers and related software systems can now be found in all kinds of markets and industries, ranging from event venues to broadcast studios, on board of cruise ships and inside modern museums and visitor centres.

The crowning moment of the Pandoras Box system’s multi- award success story was undoubtedly receiving the 2008 Emmy Technology & Engineering Award, which underlined the successful introduction of the Pandoras Box product family to the broadcast market.

With over thirty international distributors and two partner companies in the US and China (coolux International and coolux China respectively), we have established ourselves as one of the leading innovators in the realm of real-time media compositing, show-control and interactivity.

coolux products are scalable and available with different features and in different editions. You can find the perfect product depending on your specific project and budget needs.

Our product family ranges from compact software editions to turnkey solutions that feature state of the art server systems, developed and built for 24/7 use.

Three things to remember

By keeping the following three guidelines in mind, diving into our product portfolio will be a lot easier:

1. All Pandoras Box systems are fully compatible and share the same user interface.

Switching between different editions is very easy, due to the integrated interface approach. If you know one Pandoras Box edition, you will be able to use and control others as well.

2. Everything happens in real-time.

Whether you are interested in projections, compositing, mapping, tracking, show controlling, immersive media environments or related fields, Pandoras Box allows you to successfully realise all of your project requirements in real-time.

3. Everything is modular and can be centrally controlled and synchronised.

You can mix and match an unlimited number of Pan-doras Box products and centrally control all of them in addition to being able to truly sync the media content being played out via network.

Display and Projector Solutions

4K & Ultra High Definition

Vivid. Beautiful. Impressive.With the importance of 4K based technology growing fast across multiple sections of the wider AV market, display and projector manufacturers have to be able to provide their customers with reliable playout solutions. This development is further helped by the release of more cost effective 4K cameras, which means that it has never been easier to actually produce 4K content.

The simple fact that the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) recently created a new 3840x2160 pixel standard called Ultra HD is yet another sign of the increasing popularity of pixel formats beyond the current Full HD standard.

Although a variety of major technology brands are already deliver-ing professional display and projector solutions, most 4K formats have not been truly standardised as of yet.

All of the projectors and displays currently available require dedi-cated timings and display modes in addition to true frame sync in order to work effectively.

Format comparison

Working in Multiple Dimensions

3D Mapping & Warping

Software Features

Screen Warping

Pandoras Box is one of the first professional systems that offers integrated realtime 3D rendering for live editing and playback.As all media files are processed in a true 3D environment, it’s easy to apply textures onto complex curved and shaped screens.3D keystoning is achieved by rendering each scene onto a 3D sur-face. Custom 3D objects such as .3ds and FBX can be imported into the software.With this technology it is possible to project onto regular 3D sur-faces like a dome or sphere and create amazing 360° projections.

Projection Mapping

With its real-time 3D rendering engine, Pandoras Box offers the most advanced technology in image warping and blending.Based on 3D geometries, detailed and advanced warping applica-tions can be achieved with single- or multi-channel blended pro-jections.

3D Calibration Feature

This new feature is defined by its extreme user friendliness, when it comes to realising 3D warping applications. All one needs to do is define a minimum of four points on a 3D projection surface, after which one can easily position the corresponding 2D markers. Based on the physical lens settings, the software will then automatically generate the 3D projector position and orientation. The high ac-curacy of this feature will save valuable time in a great number of projection mapping setups.

The Pandoras Box 3D projection mapping tools feature independ-ent content composition and warping calibration. Using this great arsenal of groundbreaking creative tools, the production workflow can be organized efficiently and allows for fast setup times.

“Pandoras Box has changed my professional life. As a lighting de-

signer, I had dabbled in video but had never treated it seriously, nor

was I taken seriously. Once I was introduced to the coolux range and

understood the capabilities of the systems and software, it changed

my approach to production design. It also changed the way I saw

modern stage productions. No longer did video need to be a separate

element. I could then envision a stage design with all the luminous

elements and provide a serious video solution. The ability to lock to,

or generate time code makes my video content all the more power-

ful on broadcast work. The tools made available from coolux have

given this old dog many new tricks, and they seem to keep coming.”

Paul Collisoneleven DESIGN / Managing Director Australia

“Since 2005, we have been proud to be part of the innovative
