3.1.2 Start Processor
Pressing the start processor button on the Hog start screen launches a processor on the
console which enables the console to connect to shows on the HogNet network and utilize
the console's hardware to provide DMX, ArtNet, and sACN output similar to the traditonal
function of a rackmount DMX Processor. If a console is shut down, restarted, or powercycled
while running as a processor the console will automatically launch the processor again when
it boots. Processor mode is also available on Hog 4 PC but requires an ETC Nomad key or
High End Sytems widget to license output.
The processor window provides basic details about the processor's connection status, IP
addresses, net number, port number, and software version.
