Hog iPC Console Frequently Asked Questions

Hardware

How many universes of DMX output are possible from the Hog iPC console?
The console has four universes of DMX built in and is expandable with a USB DMX Super
Widget, or individual USB DMX Widgets. When operating Hog 3PC software the console is
expandable to eight universes and seven when using Hog 2PC software.
Why won't my USB DMX Widget work with Hog 3PC?
Hog 3PC is only compatible with single USB DMX Widgets that are enabled for use with Hog
3PC. Many USB DMX Widgets will need to be enabled for compatibility with Hog 3PC. All USB
DMX widgets will continue to function with Hog 2PC software. Contact High End Systems for
upgrade information.
How can I tell if my USB DMX Widget is compatible with Hog 3PC?
Hog 3PC enabled widgets are identified by a silver coloring around the 5-pin XLR connector,
and a label on the bottom that indicates "Hog 3PC USB DMX Widget".
Can the Hog iPC console running Hog 3PC software connect directly to a Wholehog 3
DP2000 or Wholehog 3 Input/Output Processor?
The Hog iPC console will NOT connect directly to a Wholehog 3 DP2000 or Wholehog 3 Input/
Output Processor. However when networked as a client to a Wholehog 3 console, the Hog iPC
console may access network devices connected to the Wholehog 3 console.
How many monitors can be connected to the Hog iPC console?
The Hog iPC console includes 2 external 12 inch touchscreen monitors. The resolution is locked
at 800x600 and drivers for the supplied touchscreens are pre-installed. One additional monitor
can be connected to the DVI port and configured to any supported resolution. This monitor
can be an additional Aspen or ELO touchscreen or another monitor.
How many playback expansions are possible with the Hog iPC console?
You may connect up to four USB Playback wings when operating with Hog 3PC software or one
USB Playback Wing when operating Hog 2PC software.

Software

Can the Hog 3PC application load my Hog 2PC shows or vice versa?
Because the two versions of Hog PC are based on two different console systems, show files are
NOT compatible between Hog 3PC and Hog 2PC applications. You will need to reprogram to
switch the same show from one version of Hog PC software to another.
How do I switch the console to the classic Hog 2PC software?
The Hog iPC Configuration Panel allows you to select the startup operating system, either
Hog 3PC or Hog 2PC. The console always boots up to the previously assigned operating
system.
