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.

  • Widgets: there are widgets out there that might work and others that will need the upgrade... That depends on the date when they had been bought

    You are right that there is now the back button.
    But the old wings can be used exactly like they had been used before.
    What the pause/halt key does depends on your settings.... You can even tell it to be play button... So no changes... It is just how you configure your console.
