Wholehog III

The Wholehog III control system offers programmers the state of the art in lighting control software. The latest version of this award-winning technology is similar to the industry standard Wholehog II, but with significant operating system and interface improvements that can help streamline operations, open new creative doors and even lower costs.

The latest Wholehog console is the perfect blend of style and function. Dimmable, bi-color custom LED desk lights illuminate the anodized dark blue aluminum finish.

We�ve improved the interface with two bright full-color, high-quality LCD touchscreens that tilt up for enhanced visibility. This system is also equipped with four encoder knobs, two encoder wheels, ten playback faders, a built-in illuminated trackball, and hard toolbar buttons above both touch screens.

For supreme scalability, the console provides two monitor outputs, keyboard and mouse ports, MIDI input and output ports, two USB ports, Fast Ethernet on a rugged Neutrik Ethercon connector, and speakers with stereo audio output. You�re prepared for everything from the smallest industrial job to the largest stadium show, theme park installation or Broadway spectacular.

Preserve show data on a built-in shock-mounted hard disk with CD-ROM drive and Zip disk drive neatly tucked away under the armrest.
