Any desk running Hog3 software will not connect with Hog4 Software. The Hog3 Console/iPC cannot upgrade. New HogPC4 coming November 2nd. All widgets, wings will work with Hog4.
You can get credit for turning in your outdated gear towards the purchase of new gear. IE tuen in your Hog3 Console for credit towards a Hog4 Console.
Like said, kind buttons. Gives you faster access to customized wheelsets, for example:
Instead of pushing "Beam" or "Color" several times to get the wheelset you need, you can do your own settings, for Gobo 1, Gobo 2, Keystone, Focus, Color, Hue/Saturation etc etc Very good for fast access when you have fixtures with a lot of parameters, like mediaservers. Also the new trackball with the ring is nice, you can put any function to this ring, if in pan/tilt mode, like Focus for adjusting when setting up a look with gobos.
Also the jog-wheel is great(can be also used for any kind of function), good for in and outpoint or folder/files when using mediaservers
