Green Hippo has refreshed its media server hardware with the Hippotizer MX Series, adding 10-bit video playback and native support for SMPTE 2110 and IPMX workflows.

The MX Series marks Green Hippo’s first major hardware revision built around IP video standards from the ground up. For touring crews and integrators already working in SMPTE 2110 environments, this should simplify integration considerably — no more conversion boxes or workarounds.

The practical touches here are worth noting: swappable media drives mean you can prep content in the shop and slot it in on site, while rear-chassis illumination addresses the eternal “which server is which in a dark rack” problem. The OLED display and customizable output configurations suggest Green Hippo is targeting users who need to adapt quickly between shows or installations.
