Spitfire Creative Technologies announced this week the completion of the acquisition of Green Hippo, a developer and manufacturer of media servers and digital display products with offices in the UK and the US. We are told that the strategic move further expands Spitfire’s reach across commercial integration, live events and creative video technology.

Emma Marlow, CEO of Green Hippo said, “For 18 years Green Hippo and Hippotizer have been part of live events around the world. We have grown well and want to continue growing. Becoming a member of the Spitfire family allows Green Hippo to focus on growing further and faster. We look forward to their strong organizational support so we can do more to help our customers and users around the world deliver the best live video experiences.”

Spitfire already owns tvONE and Magenta Research, well-known manufacturers of premium video processing and signal distribution products. With complimentary technologies, all addressing cutting-edge audio and video, the combined companies should better address a wide range of markets globally from broadcast to large venue entertainment.

Green Hippo develops and manufactures extremely powerful Media Servers, used for creating and delivering mind-blowing video presentations on a very large scale. The flagship Hippotizer product line drives stunning presentations in diverse venues worldwide, such as theme parks, cruise ships, stadiums, and other live events like the Oscars and Super Bowl Halftime shows, where visuals are critical to the experience.
