Hippotizer drives Video for Nickelback Tour
The Nickelback North American summer tour began in June at the Bay Roberts Festival in St. John's, Newfoundland and runs through September, with a final date in Kansas City. The tour is a mix of stadiums and festivals, most of which are already sold out.
Mode Studios and the tour's lighting designer, Chris Maeder, combine video and lighting for scenic displays and effects. Two Hippotizer Stage media servers feed video content (synchronized with audio) to a Barco SLite 26 x 22' video display housed in a 60 x 65' structure and two outboard projection screens. Four Hippotizer Express machines drive video to a combination of Barco MiPIX and Element Labs VERSA Tubes.
"Hippotizer is our friend," says Bob Bonniol, Mode Studios' creative director. "It is user-friendly and has a well-developed 'personality' for use with all the major lighting consoles. Hippotizer is flexible and handles any media file. For Nickelback, multiple live cameras are routed to the Hippotizers in real time for IMAG purposes. Hippotizer really is a great performer."
