114 Hog 4 Operations Manual
4.14.2 Chat
To start a global show-wide chat with other users logged onto the same show via the HogNet
network:
1. Click on the chat icon on the main toolbar. The chat icon is a white speech bubble with
blue text.
2. Type in the message field of the chat window and press enter to send.
3. Chat messages are tagged with the user name of the sender and are viewable by all
consoles and all users logged onto the show.
If the chat window is closed when a new messages is posted by another user on the network
the chat icon will turn green to indicate there are unread messages. Chats are also broadcast
from the console via OSC and can be received using the path hog / status / chatline/
Tip: Chat is not only useful for communicating between networked consoles but also a
great tool for typing messages to other operators on a single console system which may be
shared by multiple operators for given show.
