Using Hog® 2PC Software
The following sections provide information regarding operating Hog 2PC software on a Hog iPC
console.

Differences Between Hog iPC and Wholehog 2 Consoles

Although the Hog 2PC application uses the common Wholehog 2 Operating System found on
the Wholehog 2 console, the Hog 1000 console, and the Hog 500 console, it is does not share
all the same capabilities as a full Wholehog 2 console. Show files are completely compatible
with any Wholehog 2 operating system console, but NOT compatible with Wholehog 3
operating systems (such as Hog 3PC).

Functional Differences

The following common Wholehog 2 console accessories and capabilities are NOT available
when using the Hog 2PC application on the Hog iPC console:
• Wholehog 2 Overdrive boxes (functionality is supported with external USB DMX widgets)
• Wholehog 2 Expansion Wing (limited functionality is supported with one additional USB
Playback Wing)
• Wholehog 2 remote
• DMX Input
• MIDI Notes output (MIDI Notes input and MIDI Show Control input and output is
supported)

Frontpanel Component Differences

Because the Hog iPC console is designed for use with Hog 3PC, there are several
programming and playback Frontpanel differences when running Hog 2PC on the Hog iPC
console.

Encoder Wheels

• The first three encoders correspond to the Wholehog 2 encoders, and perform a similar
function.
• The fourth encoder is a dedicated scrolling wheel, performing the same function as
holding the Setup button and turning the first encoder wheel.

Trackball

• The trackball can operate either in mouse mode, or in pan & tilt mode.
• To toggle between trackball modes, click the top right trackball button. The current
mode is indicated by the blue backlight, that will be OFF when in mouse mode and ON
when in pan & tilt mode. Note the trackball mode is independent of the 'Trackball does
Pan/Tilt' option in the Hog 2PC control panel.
