Singapore - Broadcast Professional and their sister company Electronics & Engineering have invested in an additional seven Green Hippo demonstration units for their three overseas offices. Their offices in Malaysia and Indonesia have each been furnished with a Hippotizer HD, HippoCritter and GrassHopper. The headquarters in Singapore is showcasing the Hippotizer HD and HippoCritter and has now added a GrassHopper to complete their demo stock.

"Broadcast Professional believes in providing the best solutions for customers and Green Hippo have proven themselves to be one of the best media servers to date with their powerful engine, flexible system and ease-of-use as well as a customisable ZooKeeper interface," says John Paul Tan, product manager at Broadcast Professional Singapore. "It is an all in one solution in a box for intermediate or advanced techies who would want the best option in various situations. We are very excited and definitely look forward to a long partnership with Green Hippo to explore new markets and create interesting opportunities for Hippotizer media servers."

With this line up Broadcast Professional are set to demonstrate and promote Hippotizer media servers all over Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia catering for clients from all types of markets with varied needs in regards to functionality and features. Plans are under way to focus on several markets including event companies, places of worship, fixed installations within entertainment venues, places of interest as well as educational institutions, with specific plans to train students in the three territories. Broadcast Professional will also offer training courses to their customers in their newly equipped offices.

The most recent success was the sale of two GrassHopper units to Kumar Shan and Yeap Hong Gee who were also trained by Broadcast Professional and immediately went on to programme and operate the Mercedes GP Petronas Formula 1 team party.

Green Hippo's Samantha Bailey comments, "Broadcast Professional has been established since 1983 and has the backing of their sister company Electronics&Engineering which just celebrated its 60th anniversary. As such we feel they are strategically placed to grow the business and with the strong and enthusiastic team they have, we are very confident in their ability to develop Hippotizers in their region. The recent push on demo stock means they have showrooms and back-up units to provide first line support in all regions for Hippotizer customers. It's a great move."
