HAP is a set of video codecs for macOS, Windows and Linux that performs decompression using a computer's graphics hardware, substantially reducing the CPU usage necessary to play video. It has become the standard for high performance, high resolution movie playback on media servers, live video performance, and event visuals.

coolux has developed a codec for use on PC and Mac. With this codec, content artists can directly produce .mov files or image sequences for Pandoras Box without any further transcoding step. Keep in mind that image sequence playback is mainly aimed for SSD based systems. Pandoras Box is able to playback uncompressed image sequences. So if the sequence was rendered in an according lossless file format, you can play it back without any quality loss as Pandoras Box never compresses files internally!
In what programs can the codec be used?
Obviously, Pandoras Box software itself can play back videos rendered with the coolux codec. No further steps are necessary, simply install Pandoras Box (Rev 10386 or newer) and the latest Quicktime Player.
The codec can be used for content creation, especially when there must not happen quality reducing and time consuming format conversion. Load the codec into third-party rendering software solutions like AfterFX.
It can be also used in (third-party) content converters like the Quicktime Player or the Quicktime Converter from coolux.
In both workflows, the codec renders content by using the Quicktime API. This is, why the codec is also called the 'Pandoras Box Quicktime Component'.
As soon as you have installed the coolux codec you can access it. Simply start or execute the according encoding / transcoding command which then offers a drop-down list to choose a custom format. The coolux codec is listed as 'coolux'.
Where can the codec be downloaded?
If you have installed the latest Pandoras Box version, the codec is already available on your system.
If you like to use the component without PB, download it from our web site's 'Download Center' and install it on your PC or Mac system. Note that Mac OS 10.7 or newer is the minimum required version for the coolux QT components to work, older OS version will not be supported. On Mac and Windows PC systems, the codec requires the latest Quicktime Player for rendering as well as playback.
In what formats does the codec render?
First of all, the component allows to create .dds, .png and .bmp image sequences (RGB or RGBA, i.e. with transparency). To save disk space you can choose to directly compress the image files using the .snp format. No matter what format you chose, the result from the rendering process is a folder with separate single (image) files. The folder can be played back from Pandoras Box by choosing 'Import as Image Sequence' in the PB Assets tab. Snappy image sequences are decompressed on the fly.
To play the image sequence on another system than Pandoras Box, you need to choose a media player that supports image sequences.
Secondly, the component allows to render a .mov file. By using our codec in the mov container, you have the advantage of the same quality as an image sequence offers. That is because the container simply contains the single (image / frames) files, there is no additional intra-frame compression. On the other hand, you gain the advantage of a single file, that is a more convenient file handling and management. The advantage of using a .mov file is, that everybody can play the content with a Quicktime Player.
To play the .mov file in Pandoras Box, simply drag it into your Project tab.
Please keep in mind that eventhough PB can playback these .mov files, .mov files containing other codecs are not recommended playback formats!
All .movs require an installed Quicktime Player during playback.
How to convert other .mov files? What is the coolux Converter?
As mentioned above, .mov files containing other codecs are not recommended playback formats for Pandoras Box.
However, you can convert other .mov files using either a Quicktime PRO Player or the new coolux tool called the Quicktime Converter.
The Quicktime PRO Player allows to access the coolux codec as soon as it is installed on the system.
The Converter allows to read, i.e. decode any .mov file as long as the codec used in its container is installed on the system. Again, the latest Quicktime Player needs to be installed.
Afterwards it renders i.e. encode the file into an image sequence or single .mov using the new coolux codec instead. You may find the Converter along with all other coolux tools (Warper; Matrix Patcher,...) in the 'Tools' menu in Pandoras Box.
The next chapter covers the use of the Quicktime Converter and the codec settings.

QuickTime is “legacy”
QuickTime codecs are only visible in applications using Quicktime 32-bit API, like Final Cut Pro or QuickTime Player.
More recent applications, like Final Cut X or QuickTime X, use a different codec mechanism.
What is QuickTime ?
QuickTime is an extensible proprietary multimedia framework developed by Apple Inc., capable of handling various formats of digital video, picture, sound, panoramic images, and interactivity (as seen in Wikipedia's entry).
Important thing here is the capability to expand the formats supported by the framework installing new codecs.
QuickTime natively comes with a number of popular and general-purpose codecs, including H.264, DV, JPEG, MPEG4 Video, ... but most professional and domain-specific codecs must be installed separately.

Missing Codec?
QuickTime will show you a specific error message when trying to open a video or audio file containing unsupported media:
- The document could not be opened. A required codec isn't available.
- Additional software is required for QuickTime to playback this media.
For other error messages, please check this list of QuickTime Errors.
How to install QuickTime codecs in Mac OS X
In case the codec bundle comes with an installer just run the installation assistant and, if requested, reboot your computer.
If no installer is available then you should know that any codec you may need should be placed inside the folder /Library/QuickTime.
Just copy the component file (i.e.'PerianXDCam.component') and relaunch any QuickTime dependent application you might have open.
How to uninstall QuickTime codecs in Mac OS X
There are different ways to uninstall a QuickTime codec. First of them is just trashing the component file from the /Library/QuickTime folder. This is really straight forward but has an inconvenient as if codec is required again you should have to download, unzip and copy the component file just trashed.
A more convenient way to 'uninstall' such codecs is just creating a folder called 'Inactive' and dropping the component files you don't need there.
Just make sure to relaunch any QuickTime application you might have open to apply the changes done.
Finally you could also run the uninstaller assistant to get rid of them (in case there's such assistant available).

To gain support of Windows media files in QuickTime you can go also through Telestream's solution called Flip4Mac component.
That will make playable Windows Media files (.wma and .wmv) directly in QuickTime Player and view Windows Media content on the Internet using a web browser.
How to install QuickTime codecs in Windows
QuickTime codecs for Windows are based mainly in Apple's QuickTime component included in QuickTime player.
QuickTime player component will install also compatible web browser plugin in order to support such content when surfing Internet.
There's also a bunch of commercial codecs (i.e. the ones from Calibrated Software) that would allow to view and decode several formats like XDCAM or AVC Intra (among others).
Installation of such bundles typically consist in the execution of an Installer that would place the needed files inside your Windows System folder.
How to uninstall QuickTime codecs in Windows
As usually done in Windows you should go to Control Panel and click 'Add or Remove Programs'. From there just launch the bundle that previously installed the desired codec.
This would launch the installer allowing you to remove the codec from your system.
