4 MBOX ® MINI USER MANUAL
GENERAL OVERVIEW
Features
Mbox Mini allows advanced video playback and effects to be integrated into an automated lighting system. Powerful
real time rendering, built-in effects, and interactive 3D objects provide tools for combining pre-recorded movies and
still images to create visual imagery, which can be displayed by any projector, LED wall, plasma screen or LED
lighting fixture.
The Mbox Mini software can be programmed and operated from a-based moving light console, allowing ease of
coordination between movie/image effects and lighting cues. Intricate Mbox sequences can be generated instantly on
site without the need for offline video processing, rendering or editing. Custom media files are easy to add to the
server for playback on demand.
The Mbox Mini software runs on an Apple® Mac® computer controlled by Art-Net or sACN. All movies, still images
and 3D objects are stored directly on the hard drive, allowing instant access to any file.
