Green Hippo Hippotizer Boreal+ MK2, HDMI

These Green Hippo Hippotizer Boreal+ MK2 media servers are in good working condition.

Comfortable running demanding live events, medium-sized generative projects and 3D visualization, the Green Hippo Hippotizer Boreal+ MK2 (HDMI) is a versatile rental and touring media server built for reliable show playback and flexible system configuration.

Built for Live Playback, Touring, and Multi-Output Shows

With 4x HDMI 2.0 production outputs and support for genlock, Boreal+ MK2 is designed for synchronized, professional video delivery across LED walls, projectors, and IMAG or scenic displays. Hippotizer V4 offers real-time control of playback attributes, making it well-suited to operator-driven environments where content changes quickly during rehearsals and shows.

Workflow Tools for Mapping, Pixel Control, and 3D Previs

Hippotizer’s output management and mapping tools provide practical control when your signal flow is not a simple 1:1 output. Output Mapping enables flexible routing and system layouts, while SHAPE 3D Mapping supports full 3D projection mapping workflows. For large pixel-based installs, PixelMapper helps map many thousand light points efficiently, useful for LED tape, pixel nodes, and fixture arrays driven from video or generative content.

Networked Control and Media Management

For multi-server deployments, HippoNet allows control of multiple units from a single ZooKeeper, simplifying touring rigs and venue installs where multiple outputs or redundancy are required. Each unit includes an integrated media management system for fast ingest and organization. FlexRes Codec support (built into Hippotizer V4 and V4+) provides additional flexibility in how media is stored and played back within the platform.
