Description
ETC HPU
Hog consoles pioneered the world of large-scale automated lighting control. They have enduring loyalty from programmers worldwide. The Hog 4 was built around the way you work, which leads to legendary ease of use. Its tools are designed for programming efficiency, which means even advanced features like pixel-mapping and plot layout are optimized for programming speed.
HPU is the hybrid processor unit for the Hog 4 family. One HPU unit can act either as a rack-mounted console or as a DMX Processor connected to another Hog 4 family console product, capable of 64 universes of output from a single 2U 19-inch rack mount device. With all the power of a Hog 4 console, the HPU is designed for those applications where permanent hardware front-panel interfaces are not necessary, such as cruise ships, theme parks, and architectural lighting installations. In console mode, the HPU can also act as a backup to any Hog 4 family console.
Hog-let Loose!
Plug a Hoglet 4 into the HPU, add some touch screen monitors and you have a powerful, stable control system ready to take on any show. HPU is fully expandable using Wings, Widgets, DP8Ks — or even additional HPUs.
Rack ‘em Up
In DMX Processor mode, the HPU packs a punch, expanding any other Hog 4 console product by up to 64 universes of output in a compact, rack-mounted device. Two HPUs = 128 universes, and so on.
The Ins and Outs
So much DMX! With a stunning 64 universes of onboard processing, eight local DMX outputs, two external touchscreen ports, USB and HogNet / FixtureNet ports, HPU is more than happy to run in either console mode or processor mode and crank out universe after universe.
