Newbie need help to learn Hog 500

Oscar,

The Jands Hog 500 doesn't have Ethernet, so it won't network directly to visualizers like the Wholehog 3 will. You will need to send DMX to your visualizers, but many visualizers support this. If you're trying to use ESP Vision, you will need to use an ESP V-Box for DMX input. I believe these can be purchased directly from the ESP web site.

I've never used Daslight or Compu Pro. Do either of these visualizers support DMX input, or are they just designed to work with the control software that they are integrated with?

The latest software release for the Jands Hog 500 is v3.3 build 177. This can be downloaded from the Flying Pig Systems web site.

The ROM library included in the software has the most common fixture libraries. You can add these to your show by clicking the Add Fixtures button in the patch window (Setup->Patch). If you need to write additional libraries for custom fixtures, there is a section of the Wholehog 2 user manual that describes how to do this.

Thanks.
