UK - Green Hippo has announced the first full release of Hippotizer V3 software for its media server range. Although V3 hardware has been available for several months, all systems to date have been supplied with V2 software alongside a Beta Version of the latest incarnation. Extensive testing has been carried out on projects as large as The Eurovision Song Contest with Spectra in Finland and Frobisher with Mode Studios in the USA to ensure the system has real-world verification, says the company.

Features new to Version 3 are timeline, media synchronisation across servers, HippoNet multi-system communications and built in media encoding capabilities. The frame-blending and full HD playback capabilities remain, as does the intuitive user interface, albeit now with multi-monitor integration.

"To some of us it feels like we've been in BETA phase for ever," says Green Hippo director James Ross Heron, "but we've always set our standards as ex-event guys, knowing that products which don't work to full capability in the events industry are a hindrance not a progression. One of Green Hippo's first mission statements was to not Beta Test our products on paying customers without their knowledge. Our refusal to be pressured into full release is based on just that and now we are confident this product is finished and ready to be fed into shows to make a real difference to how media is played back in live environments."
