Road Hog and WYSIWYG information

Hey guys,
I am interested in using WYSIWYG with the Roadhog console. I am curious to know if this is possible. If so, I would like to get some information on what needs to be purchased in order to make it work. If i have done my research correctly, I think i will only need a programming wing and the WYSIWYG software. Also, any feedback on WYSIWYG software would be great. I am thinking of using CAST. Thanks in advance.

    OPTION 1: Because the Roadhog does not have networking capabilities I have to use Wyg-it 2 from Cast in order to use the show i create using WYSIWYG. If this is correct, can I use just the programming wing to use as an interface to program through WYSIWYG? And, once programmed, I will be able to transfer the file from WYSIWYG to the Roadhog and then run the show


    The Wyg-it 2 is a DMX input device that hooks up to the Wyg computer via USB. So it would go CONSOLE -> WYGIT -> WYSIWYG. With Wysiwyg, it's just an interface to SEE what you're programming. You are still physically programming it on the console. So there would be no transferring back and forth. You program on the console...you save on the console. You're just hooked up to a computer instead of actual lights. The programming wing does nothing for Wysiwyg...it only works on Hog3 consoles and Hog3PC (see Option #2)

    OPTION 2: I could purchase Hog3PC and run it on the same computer WYSIWYG is on. I could then purchase the programming wing and use that as an interface to program through WYSIWYG. Could I then transfer the show file to the Roadhog and run the show?


    Hog3PC is FREE...that's the best part. You would purchase the programming wing (if you desire to do so) and hook it up to the computer with Hog3PC. You don't HAVE to have the wing, but it does make life easier. WYSIWYG and Hog3PC will talk to each other within the same computer. The wing is talking to Hog3PC, not WYSIWYG. When you're done programming, save the show to a USB stick and load it into the Roadhog.

    *NOTE: I do not own the Roadhog console, the production company I work for does. Ideally, I would like to be able to program at home using the programming wing. Thanks again for helping

    No problem...like I said, you can do the Hog3PC for free without a wing, but it's faster with the wing. I hope that all makes sense for you.
