562 Hog 4 Operations Manual
SMPTE
A form of time code that can be used to synchronise the operation of vari-
ous controllers, for example synchronising lighting to video playback.
Soft Key
The Soft Keys are the row of keys above and below the touchscreens.
They mimic the function of toolbars docked along the edge of the screens.
-See Also Toolbar.
Soft Parameter Value
See tracked value. -See Tracked Value.
Split Fade
A crossfade where the incoming and outgoing cues have different times,
causing an imbalanced or dipped fade profile. -See Also Crossfade, In
Time, Out Time.
Spreadsheet
A way of displaying values in a grid. Hog 4 OS editor windows use a
spreadsheet to display parameter values.
Suck
A console function that will put any values that are "on stage" (in playback
from a master) for the selected fixtures into your current active editor.
Switch
When you want to connect more than two Hog components together, then
you need a special piece of equipment to allow them to interconnect called
an Ethernet Hub or Ethernet Switch. -See Also Ethernet.
T
TCP/IP
A network protocol or language that computers use to talk to each other
over Ethernet. Hog 4 OS uses this standard protocol, which means that it
can safely be connected to other networks of computers and will not inter-
fere with them. For show-critical situations you should run the Hog system
on its own independent network. -See Also Ethernet.
Timecode
A method of synchronising the console with other playback sources, such
as music, video or film. Hog 4 OS supports MIDI, Linear Timecode and
Video Timecode. -See Also MIDI, SMPTE.
