Installing Hippotizer and Zookeeper

*The system type and Software Assurance determines which versions can run on a given Hippotizer.

The Hippotizer system is comprised of two separate pieces of software: Engine and Zookeeper.

• Engine is the core of the Hippotizer system and carries out all video rendering, as well as running all components (such as DMX or Media Manager).

• Zookeeper is the user interface that talks to the engine. Zookeeper talks to the engine over the network and can be run anywhere on the local network to control one or many Hippotizers.

The Engine and Zookeeper are installed from the same installer. You do not need a separate piece of software to install Zookeeper only.

*The latest version of Hippotizer V4 can be found HERE

The Hippotizer V4 installer will also install several other pieces of software that are critical with normal operation of Hippotizer systems including the HippoLauncher application. This program manages Hippotizer V4 and SHAPE installations on the system, and includes several other useful tools.

*Zookeeper is a free application. To install it, simply run the Hippotizer installer and when the system requests a license key press ok, leaving the license field blank.
