Product Overview and Specifications

Hog iPC Handbook 3

The Hog® iPC™ Console

The Hog® iPC™ console offers maximum flexibility for productions in an economical, mid-

range controller. It is designed to take full advantage of the Wholehog 3 operating system’s

advanced features and functionality while being backwards compatible with the discontinued,

but widely-used Wholehog 2 operating system.

The Hog iPC console houses a PC motherboard and hard drive optimized to operate with the

Hog 3PC application. The Windows® XP embedded (XPe) operating system — a streamlined

version of Windows XP, is custom configured for its specific use within the Hog iPC console.

Hog iPC uses four universes of DMX output direct from the console, expandable to eight

universes using USB DMX Widgets or a USB DMX Super Widget. In addition the Hog iPC

console includes one SMPTE input, and MIDI in/out/thru capabilities as well as two 12-inch

high-brightness color touchscreens with adjustable viewing angles. A backlit trackball with

four buttons can be configured to provide cursor and position control.

Ten Playback faders feature familiar Wholehog 3 playback controls (choose, go, pause &

flash). Hog iPC offers an internal hard drive, and re-writeable CD-ROM drive; five Universal

Serial Bus ports for touchscreens, external drives, printer, and Wholehog 3 accessories (e.g.

playback wing, expansion wing, and additional USB DMX Widgets). A third monitor or

touchscreen can also be connected to the DVI video output to provide maximum viewing

flexibility.

An Ethernet connector allows communications with Hog 3PC computers, other Hog iPC

consoles, and Wholehog 3 console systems. Remote Focus functionality is available when

networked with a computer or tablet PC running Hog 3PC software.

In addition to operating optimally with Hog 3PC software, the Hog iPC console is backwards

compatible with the Hog® 2PC application. Utilizing the Hog iPC console internal hardware, the

Hog 2PC application provides four universes of DMX output (expandable to seven), as well as

one SMPTE input and MIDI in/out/thru capabilities.

The Hog iPC console is constructed of precision-machined aluminum in a familiar Wholehog

blue style with a tough wear-resistant anodized finish.

Note: Although show files can be programmed using either Hog 3PC or

Hog 2PC software on the Hog iPC console, show files remain

specific to each application and are not interchangeable.
