Upgrade Inquiry

Hi everyone,

Good evening.

I'm newly registered here and I would like to seek help and assistance regarding Hog 4. Currently, our company is using the old Hog 2 and it is already discontinued in the market thus no available support anymore. I'm planning to request for additional lighting fixtures for our theatre (LED Wash / moving heads) to upgrade our lighting system but having only Hog 2, we will not be able to patch any new units into our board and with this I'm also requesting for an upgrade to our Hog 2 to Hog 4.

With this, I would like to know if we are still able to use our existing hardware such as the Jands DD6-2 DMX Input Controller, programmer and playback wings? What are the requirements for the upgrade? Will it affect our existing show lighting programs or can we still use it?

I'm not well versed with the lights and not so familiar with Hog board (I only used Avolites board before).

Any help and assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much.

    The prgrammer and playback wing buttons had always be the same like on HOG 3 and now HOG 4
    All labels fit to the function.
    Only if you go then to a real HOG 4 console you will find 2 buttons in other positions.
    If you run HOG 4 PC in Nano Mode and connect your wings it will all work fine.
    Jands DD6-2 DMX Input Controller is just a standard DMX Splitter. All DMX devices will work with HOG4 like they did with Hog 2
    You wont be able to use the HOG 2 expansion wing, but all USB connected hardware like programmer-wings, DMX widgets etc will work (DMX widgets might need upgrade)
