Check out the Mbox Comparison Chart for more details on the differences between Mbox Studio, Studio+, Mini and Designer.
Like all members of the Mbox family, Studio includes the single-layer crossfading that makes Mbox so easy to use and fast to program. Studio provides all the tools necessary for medium to large shows and installations that don’t require the full 3D capabilities of the Mbox Designer software. If you need just that little bit more, Mbox Studio can be upgraded to Mbox Studio+. The Studio+ upgrade extends the capabilities of the Studio software: doubling the video output, pixel mapping, and image remapping capabilities, and also adding Syphon output from layers.
Mbox Studio and Studio+ can be licensed using either a USB license key or a soft-license. If you would like to purchase a USB license key for Mbox Studio/Studio+ or upgrade an existing Mbox USB license key to Studio/Studio+, please contact your local PRG office. If you would like to purchase a soft-license, please use one of the purchase buttons below.
The latest Mbox Studio software is compatible with macOS versions from 10.10 Yosemite to 12 Monterey, and with both Intel and Apple Silicon processor computers. While the software is not yet native to Apple Silicon processors, a universal version is in development. (Note: Older versions of the Mbox software are not compatible with newer versions of macOS or with Apple Silicon processor computers.)
For evaluation purposes, the Mbox Studio software will run in demo mode (with only minor limitations) until a license is purchased. We always recommend testing the software on your computer prior to purchasing, as hardware can have an impact on performance.
