For environments that demand quality and durability whilst addressing the growing call for more layers and higher resolutions, the Hippotizer Stage is the answer!

8 individually configurable layers of 1024 x 768 resolution media, multi-level previews for each channel and a new user interface means the Hippotizer Stage has come of age. And it’s inherited the adaptability found across the entire Hippotizer range, accepting more protocols than ever; this server is ideal as the heart of any controlled environment.

Powerful effects, including fully variable blur in two flavours, beat detection, chromakey (option) and alpha-channel capabilities mean a whole new world of possibilities have opened up. Add to this, super-precise 16bit keystone adjustment and you have the perfect partner for any live environment. And because the Hippotizer Stage uses Hardware Accelerated Graphics technology, realtime effects now look like those rendered overnight in studios but its here right now, at your fingertips.
