Streambox Media Player3.2.1

Streambox(R) Media Player is an HD/HDR player for IP video streams arriving from Streambox encoders or from the Streambox Cloud services. The Media Player is well suited for streams being pushed (routed to) or pulled from the Streambox Cloud Services. This media player is used by media content providers (e.g., news services) to remotely review live streams, and by post-production services for collaborative workflows with colorist, editors, and producers, and by media producers for on-site or on-location monitoring.

Native Tone Mapping Mode - maps the same as Apple H264/HEVC output tagged for 1000 Nits and targets editorial reviews.

Pure PQ mode does not tone map, but adjusts output depending on current screen brightness to always maintain correct values in nits. If current screen brightness is below content brightness then Pure PQ will clip to current screen brightness. Pure PQ mode targets Dolby Vision grading, where content is already mapped. Adjusting screen brightness helps with black levels. 2.1.3 10/05/2021 Improved HDR tone mapping
