Full Boar ArtNet

I know that ArtNet is not working yet, at least until the DP8000 comes out, but that's where my question comes from. The specs say that the console will support up to 8 universes of ArtNet (I assume that's talking about the onboard ethercon connector), and unlimited HogNet universes via the ethernet. So when the DP8000 comes out (having 16 ArtNet universes available for use on it), will those 16 ArtNet universes via the DP8000 be available on the Full Boar, or just the 8 that are part of the on-board ArtNet ethercon port? Would this be something that would only be available on the HogIII full console?

  • That question has been on my mind quite a few times also.. I sertainly hope so, I think it would be a huge mistake if they don't..-Thats of cource my personal opinion though... I can't see any reason for not enabling artnet out of a hogpc which have widgets connected(one widget-one universe of artnet,an so on..)..


    -A little off topic, but it fits into the ArtNet thread:

    -Another thing I have been thinking about, is that it would be reeeealy cool if the miniwings would unlock one or two universes of artnet.. That would first of all make the overpriced wings become more attractive, but maybe more important it would maybe place the miniwings in reach of comparison to the competition if you think of cost.

    -here in norway a programmerwing + a miniwing + a superwidget is almost 86% of the cost of a roadhog.. and then you need to add the computer+touchscreens etc.. That makes the question of what to buy quite easy..
    -in comparison in uk, a vista S3 +2048 channel dongle costs about 43% of a T2.. I don't know its directly compareable, but from what i can see about the vista, the S3 is the hardware from the T2 without the computer/screen..(i know its uk and norwegian prices, but since i used percent, it shouldn't matter that much.)
    -and of cource, there's another uk actor that spits out artnet without any hardware...

    -I personally think that if the programmerwing and the faderwing would open up two universes each, they will become much more attractive, becaouse theres no doubt that they are overpriced today..

    -I guess it maybe is just wishfull thinking from my side, but on the other side.. If you look at norway, I know how many wings have been sold from HES, and from Vista the last coupple of years, and it's quite easy to understand why H3 wings is not on the top. The miniwings is in most persons eyes just a bit expensive for what it does when you compare it to the competition..I know of several cases where they want a pcbased sytem built around H3, but have ended up with some sollution from a competitor..

    -I know it's difficult to justify to lower the prices on a hardware product(especially for a board/salesdepartment).. -Thats why i'm proposing to add functionallity via software!! ;)
