ETC Announces DP8K Exchange Program to Support Hog System Upgrades

Date Posted: 8/7/2025

High End Systems DMX Processor 8000 (DP8K)

ETC has launched the DP8K Exchange Program, a new initiative designed to help customers transition to the latest generation of Hog hardware and software. 

The program supports users of the High End Systems DMX Processor 8000 (DP8K), which was discontinued in 2020. While the DP8K remained compatible with earlier versions of Hog OS, it is no longer supported with the release of Hog OS v5.x, making an upgrade essential for continued performance and compatibility. 

To make this transition smoother and more cost-effective, ETC is offering a significant discount on the purchase of a new HPU (hybrid processing unit) when replacing an existing DP8K. Program details, including exchange logistics, may vary by region.

Customers are encouraged to contact their local ETC dealer for full details, eligibility, and support with the upgrade process.
