Country superstar Thomas Rhett’s tour is hitting U.S. arenas and festivals with his mix of catchy, chart-topping songs and an “awesome” lighting and visual show driven by tvONE’s Green Hippo brand of Hippotizer media servers. A vast LED screen is constructed in each venue behind a wall of lighting fixtures, which are rigged on a scaffolding-style structure. Wrapping around the top of the stage, mirroring the thrust, a series of LED panels add height and drama. For each show, Creative Designer Alec Takahashi of BKD plays with depth, texture and layering to create what he describes as a “sense of wonder” with video surfaces. Two Hippotizer Boreal+ MK2 Media Servers – one as main, one as backup – are being used to provide the processing power, programming ease and eye-candy effects, with a Hippotizer Karst+ MK2 at FOH for HippoNet access.Read More »Thomas Rhett’s ‘Home Team’ Tour Stuns with Hippotizer
