Hi ther I am currently running a hog 3 to program set lighting in a tv show, and a little bird tweeted in my ear about the rumour of the show buying a full boar to replace. i just wanted to know what were the comparisons, at this time i feel i should stick with the 3 as it sounds like from what i am reading that the full boar is entry level and i do some pretty intense progaming day after day, but if the full boar is capable i would give it a try. at this time running hog 3 with playback expansion wing, 2 ext elo 20" touch, 1 dp 2000. all 4 universes full, around 1800 desk channesl, and about 48-colorblasts, and the odd vl3000 showing up on those special days.
I would save the money on the full boar and replace the dp2000 with a new dp8000. It will give you all of the new features of the full boar and allow you to keep things like timecode from cd, the extra buttons around the screen,rate and intensity wheels. It will also give you the capability to output 16 universes. Eight of them dmx from the front of the dp8000 and another 8 artnet or with widgets.
