Hippotizer Down Under At Rise
Hippotizer, the hugely powerful, versatile digital media server from Scene Change, has found a home in yet another part of the world: Australia.
Hippotizer has been selected by the Rise Nightclub in Perth as the centrepiece of a new club visuals system, installed to help the club meet its goal of setting the standard for clubbing in Perth with ‘a massive dancefloor, a world-class sound system and a lighting rig that redefines the phrase full on’.
Simon Barwood, the managing director and resident DJ for Rise, takes up the story. “We were ready to launch Rise into the 21st Century with the installation of a club visuals system. I first came across Hippotizer in a review in DJ Mag’s VJ Scan section. After extensive research of software and hardware products I could find no other comparable system offered as an ‘out of the box’ solution, which included preloaded content and an intuitive interface.
“The claims in the technical literature were substantial. And, as there were no units in Australia, we took a giant leap of faith and purchased the Hippotizer sight unseen, relying on the reviews and specifications. Our concerns quickly evaporated when, within a few minutes of turning the system on, it was apparent that it would live up to the hype - and then some! The Hippotizer has entirely changed the look and feel of our venue, literally dragging us out of the dark ages and propelling us head first into a bright future full of possibilities!”
Rise’s Hippotizer was supplied by Clearlight Shows Pty, who are the Australian dealer for the Hippotizer range.
