The occasion will showcase the new V4 range alongside other leading video brands available from AC-ET, including AViary Video Tools, Prolights, Luminex, Philips Signage Solutions and Christie Digital.
The informal event consists of a choice of morning (10:00am - 2:00pm) and afternoon (2:00pm - 6:00pm) classroom-style sessions providing hands-on training with the completely redesigned line of Green Hippo Hippotizer media servers running the new V4 software, which is designed to meet the demands of shows today and tomorrow. The previous Hippotizer V3 range received multiple awards for its innovative design and feature set.
Demonstrations will be accompanied by presentations from key personnel in the company's product management, projects and sales teams. These include a V4 range introductory overview; a demonstration of the award-winning SHAPE 3D projection mapping tool; a run through V4's next generation media control features - including visualiser, spout sources, mixes and output mapping; and with V4 supporting 4K+ resolutions, a look at 4K in the real world. Other new features discussed include Output Manager, STRATA Caddy System, and output options including HD-SDI.
In addition to showcasing Hippotizer V4, the Open House will also introduce Green Hippo's multi award-winning AViary Video Tools, and demonstrate how other complementary technologies together provide versatile system solutions to suit a range of applications and project budgets. Featured brands include Prolights LED video screens, Luminex high performance networking products, Philips Signage Solutions displays, and Christie Digital projectors.
Specialist sales staff from AC-ET's Video division - who are the exclusive UK dealer for the Prolights and Luminex product ranges, and an authorised reseller for AViary Video Tools, Philips Signage Solutions, and Christie Digital - will be on hand to provide technical assistance and answer queries regarding any of the featured brands. Complimentary refreshments will be served during and after the sessions.
