[DMX Processing) HES/Hog Widgets/DP's and sACN/Artnet

Can someone please confirm something for me....

During a conversation with a friend of mine who is also a console programmer, the topic of DMX processing power came up and we were at a slight disagreement, that will end up with one person buying numerous beers when the answer is found.

Questions..

1. Do the HES USB DMX widgets share any of the DMX processing load with the CPU of the console if no physical DP8000 is present on the Hognet.

2. Does a DP8000 on the Hognet process DMX data for a HES widget that is connected via the consoles USB port and patched to the DP on the hognet? Or, must the widget be plugged into the DP's USB port for the DP to process the DMX data?

3. Does the H4 Console contain an actual DP8000 that does all the DMX processing, or is it another Virtual DP where the DMX data is processed through the consoles CPU?

4. Does the FB4 only have a Virtual DP, or is there a partial DMX processor in there?

Thanks

;)

    From the best of my knowledge:

    1 - widgets do no processing on there own.
    2 - widgets plugged into consoles get processed by the physical console it is plugged into. If plugged into the usb on the dp8000, the dp will do the processing.

    3- Yes but not the rackmount. Think super widget in a hog 3 console but dp8000 style. (but not quite gannam style)
    4- no super widget pcb style.

    3 & 4 are the best guesses, i'd be willing to start a tab for beer on my answers.
