The Christie® Pandoras Box Widget Designer is an advanced control surface creation framework that lets you create dedicated user interfaces and interaction logic by connecting visual control components. A rich feature-set for visual node-based programming allows users to create customized show-control scenarios. Adding simple scripting makes programming more efficient and powerful. With its intuitive interface, even non-programming specialists are able to create truly immersive interactive experiences. With the embedded node programming environment users can route and set up almost any possible control scenario. Easily interact with sensors and data sources to route input data to any other output protocol such as Art-Net, Midi/MSC, TCP/UDP, DMX or RS-232/-422 devices. The Widget Designer interface is based on HTML-5 and features the possibility to style and manipulate complete pages or single widgets due to internally used CSS3 styles.
