Green Hippo and Martin partner for 'seamless product integration'
Published: WORLD
WORLD: Green Hippo and Martin Professional have joined forces to provide 'seamless integration' between Martin’s P3-PC system controller and Green Hippo's Hippotizer V4 media servers. Effectively enabling the media server to output the P3 protocol, this reportedly hands users ‘many more creative opportunities with Martin’s LED video products, such as the VC-Grids, VC-Strips and the VDO Sceptrons – letting users control up to 20,736 pixels from a Hippotizer V4 media server.
'I'm very excited to see P3 coming straight out of a Hippotizer media server,' enthused Martin Professional product manager for LED video, Wouter Verlinden. 'This opens up a lot of new opportunities with our creative LED video products – both for people with Hippotizers, but also for those who have yet to pick the Hippotizer as their favourite media server.'
‘Being able to drive Martin's fantastic range of LED video products directly from Hippotizer V4 with Martin P3, makes a truly compelling combination; easy to use, extremely powerful and flexible, enabling even the most creative ideas. I can't wait to see what concepts will come to life,’ added Stephen Westgate, technical director at Green Hippo.
This functionality is stated to be available on new or existing Hippotizer V4s running software version 4.1, and requires P3-PC software 4.1.0 or newer to be installed on the Hippotizer. Green Hippo states the same functionality is also forthcoming for its Aviary Video Tools, its range of display solutions for the installation market.
