Using Hog® 3PC Software
Hog iPC Handbook 35
Differences Between Hog iPC and Wholehog 3 Consoles
The Hog iPC is optimized to operate with the Hog 3PC application. You can find information on
programming and operation details in the Wholehog 3 User Manual you received with the
Hog
iPC console.
Note: You can also access several language versions of the Wholehog 3
User Manual through the Hog
3PC application Help menu.
Hog 3PC Show files are completely compatible with show files programmed on any
Wholehog
3 operating system console, but NOT compatible with Wholehog 2 operating
systems (such as Hog
2PC).
Although the front panel of the Hog iPC console is very similar to the Wholehog 3 console, the
capabilities vary in some specific ways.
Networking
The Hog 3PC software has the same networking capabilities as the Wholehog 3 console.
Refer to section 12 of the Wholehog 3 User Manual for Wholehog 3 network configuration
instructions.
Patching
When using the internal DMX outputs or external USB DMX Widgets or Super Widgets instead
of direct Ethernet connection to Wholehog 3 DMX processors, the Hog
3PC software uses two
“virtual” DPs when patching.
The Hog iPC console’s four internal DMX outputs are pre-configured within the Hog 3PC
application. Each of the four outputs is mapped to the first four DMX outputs of DP #1 within
the Wholehog 3 operating system. Any external USB Widgets or Super Widget can be mapped
to DP #2 using the Widgets tab of the Hog 3PC Control Panel. Refer to the Wholehog 3 user
manual for details on patching fixtures to DPs for DMX output. When Wholehog 3 DMX
processors are connected, they are configured as described in the Wholehog 3 user manual.
External DPs should be mapped starting at DP #3.
Trackball Preferences
Changes made to the pointer mode for the trackball in the Preferences window regarding the
bottom two buttons will be ignored. They will always behave as left and right click options
when in pointer mode. These buttons can still be modified when in ball mode.
