The media server range has been deployed to produce 4K and 10K projections at an Egyptian war museum which represents a breakthrough in the country’s technological development.

Green Hippo’s Hippotizer media servers are driving a range of custom high-resolution displays at the newly renovated Panorama 6th October Museum in Cairo, which commemorates the 6th October War of 1973.

Using Hippotizer’s advanced mapping capabilities and flexible third-party integration options, local AV specialist Audio Technology S.A.E was able to meet the many challenges of this complex installation, which includes custom HD projection mapping solutions in three interior halls, as well as on the outside of the building itself. The museum is now able to pursue its educational remit with a full-day entertainment programme which brings the history of this troubled period back to vivid life for audiences of all ages.

The building’s exterior is the projection surface for 4K resolution content, mapped and fed to six high-power 30,000-lumen laser projectors by a Hippotizer Karst+ Media Server. Inside, three halls feature high-resolution projections. In Hall 1’s 150-seat 5D cinema, a Hippotizer Amba+ provides Full HD, 3D stereoscopic content, while in Hall 3 a Hippotizer Boreal+ feeds a 10K resolution U-shaped display, via six 13,000 lumens Christie Digital laser projectors, filling the audience’s visual field for a truly immersive experience. Finally, in Hall 4, another Hippotizer Boreal+ provides Full HD content for an immersive, 360° projection using nine 10,000 lumen Christie Digital laser projectors. Here, the footage features scenes from Egypt’s more recent political times – the 2011 and 2013 revolutions.
