Mbox Extreme Environment
Concept Overview
In order to get the most out the Mbox Extreme Media Server, it is important to understand the overall
concept of the Mbox Extreme Environment, which is essentially a building platform for "virtual
scenery." The final "look" of this virtual scenery can be comprised of backgrounds, 3D objects, camera
angles, and lighting, all of which are controllable elements within the Mbox Extreme Environment.
Likewise, each of these elements has a set of controllable parameters such as color, texture, size, and
movement. When all combined, you can achieve an infinite number of possibilities for your virtual
scenery.
At first, the interaction of these elements may seem complicated, but as we break down each
component individually, you will find that they are similar to automated lighting parameters which you
may already be familiar with. The only difference is that luminaire parameters coincide with physical
hardware - i.e. beam parameters control an iris - while the Mbox Extreme parameters coincide with
software elements. For example, just as you would control a luminaire’s beam color from a console
encoder or keypad, you can control the color of an Mbox Extreme 3D object. Once configured, the
entire Mbox Extreme Environment (i.e. virtual scenery) can be sent to any video compatible device
connected to the unit.
