Green Hippo announces the shipment of its new, award-winning 4U Hippotizer MX Series Media Servers, HYCO MX and MEUSE MX.

The full Hippotizer MX Series offers five new customizable, dependable, and future-proofed Media Server solutions that enhance workflow efficiency with high-quality playback and purpose-built design, the company says.

Made for demanding live event production, Hippotizer HYCO and MEUSE are said to provide unrivalled playback and generative performance. With expanded storage capacity, users can manage larger projects and assets. Enhanced generative content performance, especially with platforms like Notch and TouchEngine, ensures smoother, more responsive creative workflows. Additionally, increased playback performance means more reliable output even under demanding real-time conditions, the company says.

Finally, these systems will be equipped with 4x 4K outputs and two opitional input slots. The Hippotizer MX Series provides ten-bit video playback for accurate color reproduction, supporting SMPTE 2110 and IPMX workflows, as well as easy system customization, and seamless delivery of large media and quality playback. Crafted for designers, touring professionals and integrators, the new solutions offer rear-chassis illumination, upgradeable and swappable media drives, customizable output configurations, and an OLED display.

"We are incredibly excited to ship our 4U Hippotizer units in addition to the 2U units that shipped earlier this year," says Nick Spencer, technical product manager.

"With the award-winning Hippotizer MX Series now in the hands of Live Event and Pro AV professionals, we look forward to seeing how these advanced tools will inspire and push the boundaries of creativity across the industry."
