The 'Mercedes GP Petronas Formula 1 Team' celebration was organised by CD to raise awareness of premium partners Mercedes and Pretonas as well as serve as a business opportunity for Mercedes Benz Malaysia and Petronas clients and business associates.
Working with CD Events, Kumar Shan and Yeap Hong Gee, early adopters of Hippotizer in Malaysia, created a video display for the occasion. They used two Hippotizer GrassHoppers networked via HippoNet and an HP Gigabit Switch connecting to four 15K Sanyo projectors to create some impressive curved screen projection. Front of House was controlled using an Avolite Pearl Expert with ArtNet running over a 3Com Router & the Hippotizers DMX Component facilitating the set-up.
The clients, Mercedes and Petronas, supplied custom content which they wanted projected onto two curved screens within the venue. By utilising Hippotizer's ScreenWarp component Kumar and Yeap were able to align and edge blend the video all within a short space of time.
During the DJ's set and various parts of the event Kumar and Yeap used Hippo Stock content plus additional content to create a video display that complemented the atmosphere.
Kumar Shan remarked: "We are very happy with our new investment in Hippotizer media servers. I'm a lighting guy; I like the response speed from the Hippotizer when I bring up playback faders on the Avolites console. Awesome."
