The sale was co-ordinated by Peter Butler for AC-ET and Paul Wood, XL's project manager for The xx tour. Wood also liaised closely with XL Video's technical project manager, James Morden.
The Hippotizers were specified by the band's lighting director, Michael Straun and were specifically chosen as they were the only media servers able to fulfil the exact functionality and system requirements necessary.
Two of the Hippotizers are run live, while the third is used as a 'hot' backup - all running on the latest 3.1 version software.
The tour has included a wide variety of European festival dates.
