Hippotizer Boreal chosen for “Idols South Africa”

The latest season of the “Idols South Africa” TV singing contest culminated in a finale broadcast live from Pretoria with visuals powered by a Hippotizer Boreal Media Server.

Lighting and video designer Joshua Cutts of production design company Visual Frontier was at the helm as the hopefuls battled it out to be crowned the Season 16 winner. The finale took place at the capital’s South African State Theatre, the largest theatre complex in the country.

Each contestant performed in front of a large LED screen backdrop, with smaller screens rigged around the stage in a horseshoe shape. Cutts controlled the Hippotizer Boreal using a GrandMA2 full-size, with the Boreal driving a multitude of LED outputs. “I mostly used the Boreal for the main screen, LED set elements and video strips. In that way, I could tie all the content together”, he says. “Idols South Africa” is produced by SIC Entertainment, directed by Gavin Wratten. Technical production was supplied by Dream Sets.
