Requests Hog III

Hi,
I'm going to post some requests that i would like to see in future
HogIII OS release.
They are not in any order or priority but reflect the things that i find waste time on the type of shows i am involved with.

1.Patch Merge nothing else or complicated just merge the patch only from one show to another or possibly the ability to export the patch and re import it as preference maybe?
2.Ability to record HTP effects.
3.Ability to record global effects palettes in the effects directory.
4.Improved cue-list timing or better results after update or merge.
5.Improved and simplified show merge options.
6.Basic keystroke Macro's or at least some sort of timeline as to the start of Macro implementation.

Please don't get me wrong but the imminent arrival of the DP-8000 should not have any bearing on any of these requests as not all WholehogIII OS consoles will have the capabilities of using the new hardware.

Most of the above features were available on Hog II os which is nearly four years out of date now so i see no reason why some of these requests should now be available on Hog III OS.

As always thank you for your help and support.

  • Thanks Cormac for your suggestions.

    All these items are on our list of enhanements and we do hope to get to them sooner than later. The macros are high priority for after DP8000 as are a few other items.

    Thanks for your continued support and input.
  • what is the time frame on the dp 8000 and how fast is it going to be.

    The DP8000 is planned for release in early December. It is currently in beta test and doing very well. You will not see slow down issues with DMX processing.
  • Hi All,
    I know the Dp8000 is now available and up/running on the new shiny version 3.0 software,so just wanted to re-post and hope some of my requests might be on the current to-do list.
    Thanks.

    Kind regards Cormac
  • I am working on several shows which use more than one source of Timecode.

    At the moment i am having to make copies of my cuelists which respond to different Timecode sources. for example
    List 1 I/O 1
    List 2 I/O 2
    There are macros at the top of each list that deactivate the inactive lists
    For example if list 2 is triggered upon receiving TC, then it deactivates timecode for list 1.

    Can you add an 'LTP' option to the timecode source list, meaning it will switch automatically to whichever source becomes active.
    This will save me many issues.....
    Many Thanks

  • Thanks for the suggestion Oli.. I will log this one.

    Cormac... we are continuing to work on many items including those you listed in your original post. I will update you when we begin our beta process for our next release.

    thanks,
  • Hi Brad,
    Any chance we might see some of these features

    other posts?
    Thanks Cormac
