hog usb widget working as dmx in for cat ?

I know.. at least the hog 2pc platform is very stable. Too bad hog 3 isn't there yet (pc and ipc anyway).

I have to disagree with you on the stability of the H3 software...I run it quite happily often across all the different desks. But I will say that of all the Hog consoles the iPC is definitely my least favorite...it is just to damn fragile (physically)...the RoadHogs and the regualr H3 are fairly rugged though...sounds like you just had an iPC that wasn't cared for properly.

Ill believe the artnet when I see it.. I was originally 4th quarter last year.. It just seems like theres a lot of consoles out that work a lot better with all these features already in them..

Yes....ArtNet in H3 is long overdue for sure....but I do think it wise for FPS to be totally sure of a product at this point before releasing it.

My only experience has been with an iPC and 3pc. I can see large potential for the software.. I think maybe the processor in the iPC is slow which is why it sometimes has issues.. The 3pc version seems to run a little faster and more reliable since it is on a faster computer. The iPC I had was in great condition and very well cared for.

Out of curiosity, does the roadhog use a separate processor for the computing (like a dp2000) for the DMX outputs or is it like a super widget?

The RoadHog has an internal widget and is not expandable beyond 4 DMX universes.

The RoadHog-Full Boar also has an internal widget for the first 4 universes and can use up to 2 additional superwidgets, but also supports DP-2000s.

Hope this helps
