Published: MEA
UAE: Following recent additions to its audio stock, eclipse Staging Services has now expanded its video inventory with the purchase of two Hippotizer V4 Taiga media servers. Following the purchase, eclipse staff members undertook an intensive three day training course led by Green Hippo’s Simon Harris.
Billed as the ‘powerhouse’ of the Hippotizer range, Taiga media servers are described by eclipse as allowing ‘basic video playback to be operated through a flexible new output management system and using LED video, projection or LED lighting’, with control via ‘a DMX lighting console, MIDI or the onboard user interface’. The system is intended to speed up projection mapping applications via the visualiser function and the award-winning Shape software.
‘I’m very happy we’ve taken this step further towards innovative video and projection solutions,’ commented eclipse’s head of video, Lee Worthington. ‘Having these servers in our inventory makes projects simpler and faster to set up and it also means that virtually any project is completely transportable.’
Regarding the three day training, Mr Harris added, ‘I thoroughly enjoyed training the video team from eclipse. They took to Hippotizer V4 like ducks to water and to see the product quickly exceed their high expectations was an absolute pleasure. eclipse have a very talented team of technicians and I can't wait to read about the projects they use their systems on in the near future’.
Mr Worthington concluded that he is ‘excited to see how these new media servers can broaden our capabilities in our coming projects’.
