UK - Pufferfish, a specialist in 360° spherical display systems, has announced a new partnership with Green Hippo, creator of the Hippotizer media server. Until now, content for the PufferSphere had to be pre-rendered in AfterFX in order to appear geometrically correct on the display. The Hippotizer essentially operates like a realtime version of AfterFX, with an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) and "plenty of clever extras thrown in for good measure". By developing a free 'Pufferizer' plug-in, Green Hippo has opened up a second route to spherical content production, allowing for realtime 'spherising' of any type of content, in addition to our existing pre-rendering option, says the company.

The Pufferizer plug-in completes Pufferfish's content offering, providing total flexibility in the development and integration of all types of media. With this in mind, Pufferfish recommend the Hippotizer as their preferred realtime solution. Hippotizer offers the option of up to four separate live video feeds and the capacity for realtime presentation, syncing with all AV industry protocols, and many advanced VJ solutions, providing useful tools to even the most fluid of advertising campaigns.

The Hippotizer retains all of its capabilities and functionality, whilst enabling easy and seamless integration of the PufferSphere to those already using Hippotizer.
