AC-ET Announces Green Hippo UK & Ireland Exclusivity

24th August 2010

The concept of real time video server control has always been at the centre of A.C. Video’s whole philosophy. Prior to forming, the division therefore undertook extensive research, combined with real user experience and feedback. After looking at all media servers on the market, A.C. Video selected Hippotizer as their solution.

During two years as a UK distributor, A.C. Video have been instrumental in the success story of the Hippotizer range, with major sales to the TV, rental and staging, corporate and leisure sectors. The exclusive agreement follows an impressive sales and service record which includes a continuing investment in product knowledge, demo equipment, training facilities and technical support.

A.C. Video’s Business Development Manager, Lee House, commented: “The Hippotizer range has always been in our eyes, one step ahead of the rest in this very complex and ever evolving field of technology. After inventing one of the first off-the-shelf real time video servers with Hippotizer, Green Hippo then pioneered the first DMX-controlled solution to meet the needs of lighting designers looking to make the smooth transition into digital video lighting. Since then they have continued to support and push the technology forward, constantly adding innovative new features to the software. It’s been a real game-changer and still is the future of media display technology.”

The Hippotizer is arguably the world’s best solution for real time video playback on events worldwide. Whatever the type of application, including rock ‘n’ roll, corporate, installation, cruise ships, theatre and architectural, Hippotizer will fit the bill.

There’s a choice of four models to suit different needs and budgets, all featuring the award-winning software running on tested and approved hardware. New for 2010, the V3 software continues to add new components, such as UberPan and Videomapper to allow unrivalled creativity.

With the launch of the entry-level HippoCritter, which comes in a choice of ultra-portable and rack mountable hardware options at a very affordable price point, A.C. Video have seen a steady rise in the number of end users keen to invest in their own Hippotizer media server.

Following the new agreement, A.C. Video will provide a further increased UK stockholding of the Hippotizer range, backed up by all service aspects.

A.C. Video is a division of A.C. Entertainment Technologies Ltd. The company will be providing a demonstration of the Green Hippo Hippotizer media servers range at PLASA 2010 (Stand 1-E10).
