Using Hog® 3PC Software
Once properly configured, the wing status will change to display "connected" and the
beacon icon will become enabled. The Beacon button flashes the Wing's LEDs to identify
its connection port.

MIDI and Linear Timecode

The Hog iPC console contains a SMPTE input as well as MIDI in/out/thru. MIDI and SMPTE are
both automatically configured with the Hog iPC hardware. See the Wholehog 3 User Manual
for information on how to activate these features within the Wholehog 3 operating system.

Timecode input

The Hog iPC console only supports one input of timecode in either a SMPTE or MIDI format.
Other timecode formats may be available within the Wholehog 3 operating system but do not
function with the Hog iPC console.

MIDI

You can observe MIDI IN and MIDI OUT activity on the top two LEDs on the console's back
panel. The LEDs will flash to indicate each time a MIDI message is sent or received. MIDI
functionality within the Hog iPC console is the same as in the Wholehog 3 operating system.

Networking with Wholehog 3 shows

The Hog 3PC application is capable of connecting as a client to other Wholehog 3 operating
system shows via an Ethernet network. Additionally the Hog 3PC application can act as a
server and allow other Wholehog 3 operating systems to connect to it as clients via Ethernet.
Even though Hog 3PC cannot connect directly to a DP or an IOP, it can connect as a client to a
show running on a Wholehog 3 console, that, in turn, is connected to DPs and IOPs. Refer to
section 12 of the Wholehog 3 User Manual for Wholehog 3 network configuration that allows
connection to other Wholehog 3 shows.
