Hippotizer Meuse MX servers manage the 52 terabytes of Junior Eurovision content

Trust Rental, responsible for video planning for Eurovision Junior, relied on Hippotizer Meuse MX Series media servers from Green Hippo to manage the 52 terabytes of content of the famous musical competition of the UER.

The production team Junior Eurovision used the software Hippotizer Shape of Green Hippo to create and recall projector mapping presets directly from the console, an essential capability for making quick and secure adjustments during live rehearsals. A red multimedia de 100 gigabits and a 100G Core NAS enabled content distribution across all systems, providing short loading times and high data security.

The content was distributed to two large LED screens located on the left and right, with a smaller central LED surface acting as a visual focal point. From this central element, a staircase extended to the center of the stage, both completely covered in LED panels. Taking advantage of the versatility of the media server, additional projector-based mapping was used for certain performances, including content mapped onto a suit and a stage tree, extending the architecture of the stage beyond its physical limits.

Green Hippo deployed the system on Hippotizer PixelMapper to control the elements of the LED strip, perfectly synchronizing the video and lighting, while the tool Live Masking Tool It allowed the content to be adapted to the complex geometries of the stage without the need to re-render. From the Trust Rental team, they highlight that the Hippotizer MX series media servers represent an important "step forward": "Their performance, stability and future-proofing give confidence to both operators and creative teams in complex live productions. They will undoubtedly play a key role in our future media server projects."
