3rd Party Desk as Hog2 Wing

I recall somebody somewhere telling me, and also showing me that it was possible to use a 3rd party lighting desk as a Hog2 playback wing. I cannot remember the details but I think that they achieved this with something simple like a zero88 24 channel desk. (very simple desk, just a bank of faders basically.)

I have let this gem of usefull information slip into the darker corners of my memory and now cannot recall how it was done or indeed even if it was possible. (maybe it was all a dream)

If anybody else out there knows about this please reply as its a clever trick I may be needing to do soon.

    You can do it - you need to use the DMX Masters function (Setup-Input Panel-DMX Masters).
    P150 in the Hog II Manual for reference.

    Your DMX desk needs flash buttons (the Hog Uses them as Choose when editing, as well as normal Flash)
    Here's the important bit

    "...set the fader master level so that full fader on the DMX console gives the value hex E3 on the corresponding channel (check using Show DMX window). Keep the flash master so that it outputs hex FF. If it is not possible to separate fader and flash levels, avoid bringing the fader to above a point that outputs hex E3."

    Best Wishes,
