Kupo have recently added – 2 Hippotizer V4 Boreals and 2 of our flagship top of the range V4 Taiga servers to their inventory in preparation for some exciting projects lined up in 2016.
We love using Hippotizer because it’s a very exciting and user friendly media server. The functionality and ease of access of the V4 UI makes calibrating media a snap. There are so many functions all bound into the user interface, such as Genlock, real time manipulation, mix layers, the ability to record and save effects, warping and projector blending. Here in China, Green Hippo is a luxury, top of the line media server, bought by top industry professionals.

Kupo have a long relationship with Chinese television stations and have slowly introduced them to Hippotizer media servers. Currently Hippotizer media servers are being used by Chinese television stations for both large scale events and also day to day media control. Notable recent uses have seen China’s biggest television stations using Hippotizer to calibrate and run ‘Hunan TV Golden Eagle Television Awards’ (China’s version of the Emmy).
Hippotizers were also chosen to drive large events such as the Youku Live Events and even more regular usage in unexpected places, such as the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra.
What we love most about Green Hippo is its revolutionary SHAPE program. With SHAPE, it only takes 4 points to calibrate a 3-d projection, easily done in mere minutes, by pretty much anyone! We have been teaching our employees at Kupo (those who are interested) about how to use SHAPE. Even the most media server-inexperienced can easily learn how to map a 3-d projection. This year we really want to push V4 and showcase its SHAPE program’s functionality. The applications of 3-d projection are unlimited, from cars in car shows to buildings in large corporate events to product showcases in commercial promos. It’s very popular in China, and with SHAPE, achieving any designer can attain stunning results.
