Take your show on the road – literally – with Hog® 2PC. This cost-effective, flexible hardware and software package transfers many of the Wholehog 2 lighting console's functions to a personal computer so your light show can travel with you. Hog 2PC offers powerful programming and playback tools in a portable system.
Program your show on a Wholehog 2 console and play it back with Hog 2PC. Create cues or run a show from any remote location – even halfway around the world – on a home computer or a laptop. It's ideal as a backup solution.
Born out of the company's existing Hog Edit® software, Hog 2PC runs on any computer equipped with Microsoft® Windows® 98, ME, 2000, or XP. It also includes a hardware device for DMX output, allowing you to control up to seven DMX universes using multiple USB DMX output widgets.
Besides portability, Hog 2PC offers another major advantage – an astronomical real-time clock, ideal for any application requiring automated permanent playback. Hog 2PC also interfaces directly with ESP Vision, WYSIWYG, Martin Show Designer, and Lewlight Capture on the same computer.
