TMB Launches AViary Video Tools magpi 4x HD Video Player at NAB

	TMB will launch magpi 4x HD video player at this year's NAB in booth SL14811.

Following on from the world preview of the AViary Video Tools Parakeet 4K+ video player on the TMB booth at InfoComm last year, TMB announces the launch of magpi 4x HD video player at this year's NAB. The North American debut of magpi rounds out a trio of new, user-friendly, task-specific Aviary Video Tools from Green Hippo, makers of the Hippotizer range of media servers.

Aviary Video Tools is a new product family of real-time video players from Green Hippo. Simple to operate, models include Parakeet 4K+, 2KAN 2K+, and magpi 4x HD, each representing a new approach to real-time, high-resolution video playback and mixing. All are available with options featuring the powerful video toolset originally developed for Hippotizer media servers. The company says, Aviary Video Tools makes high-quality, superior video production and display accessible to everyone.

Housed in a rugged chassis designed to install almost anywhere, magpi video player offers four independent streams of HD video, or six streams of SD video, with highly-configurable media feeds, real-time correction and trimming of clips, along with a host of tools to tackle the most challenging display setups. Each output has independent real-time playback control, including color correction, contrast, and aspect ratio, as well as parameters such as speed, in and out points and geometry, that can all be adjusted on the fly. Magpi offers comprehensive video and audio file format support as well as real-time control via on-board timeline, or external protocols such as time-code, MIDI, and many more. A unique output-mapping toolbox removes the need for additional video wall controllers or processors, and projection mapping is a breeze with VideoMapper and RegionMapper, plus complete pixel control is provided with PixelMapper. According to the company, all of which makes magpi video player the perfect complement to Hippotizer media servers.
