10 Base-T
An older flavour of Ethernet that is slower (10 MBits per second) than the
100 Base-T used by Hog components. If connected to other equipment that
only supports this flavour, then Hog components will automatically detect
this, and run their Ethernet connections at this slower speed. -See Also
100 Base-T.
100 Base-T
A flavour of Ethernet that supports data rates of up to 100 MBits per
second. All Hog components support this flavour of Ethernet, and comply
with all relevant standards, so networking equipment designed for
100Base-T should be compatible with the Hog. -See Also 10 Base-T.
A
Abstraction Layer
Hog 4 OS separates (‘abstracts’) the user from the details of how fixtures
work. For example, most values are expressed in real world values such
as degrees of rotation, rather than DMX values.
Aggregate Fixtures
When two or more fixtures are assigned dotted user numbers with the
same whole number portion (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc...)
B
Blocking Cue
A blocking cue prevents changes made to earlier cues from tracking
through to later cues. -See Also Tracking.
Buddying
During fanning, buddying keeps fixtures in ‘gangs’ that all take the same
parameter value. -See Also Fanning.
Button
An on-screen control operated by clicking with the mouse or trackball or
touching the screen. In this manual the work "key" is reserved for hardware
buttons on the console's front panel.
