The true workhorse of the Hippotizer range, the Hippotizer Stage has proved to be one of the most powerful and reliable media servers ever produced. They say that the world is a stage and we are merely players, well, one play with our stage and you will be hooked !
Version 2 of the Hippotizer media server, which made its US debut this year at ETS-LDI at the TMB booth, marks a distinct improvement over its original incarnation. One of its biggest changes is in its control options; the new version now has built in support for the majority of established industry protocols — DMX, MIDI, RS 232, and timecode (model specific) — making it possible to control any playback parameter remotely from other hardware. Lighting desks, for example, can control the system to create digital lighting effects via DMX or Art-Net. Alternatively, users can now connect an external board to the system and get hands on control versus virtual control. Feedback from the Hippotizer is shared with the device's motorized controls, making it move accordingly.
Also new is the control area, which is displayed on a screen separate from the main output, providing users with full access to image adjustment controls. You can select from a bank of preloaded or your own media and apply it on up to 16 layers; a layer level preview provides feedback during the course of your composition and is switchable between sources. You also have layer level adjustment of all the key parameters: brightness, contrast, color, playback modes, in and out points, etc.
Other features of the workhorse stage model include eight configurable layers of 1024×768 resolution media, multi-level previews for each channel, 16-bit keystone adjustment, compatibility with a wide range of media types, the ability to playback audio from video files, and Hardware Accelerated Graphics technology, which allows for the rendering of effects in real-time.
