Hippotizer Boreal+ MK2
Mid-size touring media server in the Hippotizer V4 family: four outputs with the full Hippotizer toolset of layers, mixes and pixel mapping, sitting between the Amba and the Taiga in the range.
Protocols it speaks
| Protocol | Direction | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ndi | bidirectional | NDI input and output are part of Hippotizer V4. |
| art-net | bidirectional | DMX personality control in, pixel-mapper output out. |
| sacn | bidirectional | Alternative DMX-over-Ethernet path to Art-Net. |
| citp | bidirectional | Thumbnail and media exchange with lighting consoles. |
| osc | in | Remote control of engine parameters. |
| rttrpm | in | BlackTrax tracking input via RTTrPM. |
| mtc | in | Timecode-driven playback. |
What to watch for
Hippotizer licensing lives on the machine, and the software toolset is the product: two servers of different generations running different V4 builds will not back each other up cleanly mid-tour.
