Hog 4 OS Release Notes v3.7.0 build 1543 October 30, 2017 Hog 4, Full Boar 4, Road Hog 4, Nano Hog 4, Hog 4PC, HedgeHog 4/4S/4N/4X, RackHog 4 Installation Instructions All Hog 4 OS consoles require a full install of software v3.7.0. A full install is also required when downgrading from v3.7.0 to any previous software release. Please refer to the Hog 4 OS help manual for detailed instructions on how to perform a full install and/or software upgrade on your console. Show File Compatibility Show files created with or edited using Hog 4 OS v3.7.0 are NOT compatible with any previous versions of Hog 4 OS. New Features: Icons and Color Coding for Fixtures Individual fixtures can now be assigned an icon and color via the fixture window when the show details button is enabled at the top of the fixture window or by using the properties pane of a selected fixture in the plot window. Several fixture types in Fixture Library v4.17 (included with Hog 4 OS v3.7.0) have predefined icons but they can be changed as needed. When a fixture s icon size is set to small the fixture s user number will not be displayed in the plot window. This is because the small size is meant to be used for sub-parts or aggregated clusters of fixtures where individual user numbers are less important and/or redundant. Page 1 of 5
Background Images for Plots Background images can now be added to plots. Supported image formats include JPG, PNG, BMP, and TIFF. A background Image object can also be filled and/or outlined with a user-selectable color. See section 20.2.4 of the Hog 4 OS Help manual for details on how to add and edit background images. Effect Synchronization A new sync attribute has been added to table effects allowing users to specify the timing of effects across fixtures and/or across parameters within and throughout different playbacks. For example, using the global sync option for all of the programmed effects in a show ensures that all of the effects in the show will always look the same no matter how or when its cues/scenes are played back. Reusable Midi Note Comment Macros A simpler method for sending midi notes via comment macros has been added to Hog 4 OS. Users can now create an index of specific midi note commands in the new midi notes window (hold open and select the midi notes button on the open toolbar) and then refer to these entries as MN (midi note) comment macros. See sections 21.3 and 24.2 of the Hog 4 OS help manual for details on how to send midi notes using this method. Page 2 of 5
Buttons Across Option for Directory Windows A new buttons across option has been added to the directory configuration menu for all directory windows. The buttons across option allows users to specify how many cells across the directory window will draw before starting a new row of buttons. This is handy for users who like to arrange directory windows using different windows sizes but would prefer that the button layout remain the same. A horizontal scrollbar is displayed in cases where the buttons across value is greater than the number of buttons that the directory window can physically fit across the window due to its current size. For legacy Hog behavior use the auto option. Support for New Touchscreens A number of new touchscreens are now supported by Hog 4 OS as listed below. Please carefully match your touchscreen to both the model and part number as some manufacturers use multiple touch technologies and overlays within a single model line.
