ETC Releases Hog OS v3.19.0 Update

ETC has released the OS v3.19.0 update for the Hog 4 family of lighting control software. Hog 4 OS v3.19.0 provides bug fixes as well as several enhancements, including support for computers running Windows 11. Users may obtain this software release by downloading it from ETC’s website. www.etcconnect.com/Products/High-End-Systems/Hog-4-Consoles/

New Features and Enhancements

• Hog 4 PC v3.19.0 is the first release supported on Windows 11. The system requirements for Hog 4 PC continue to be a Dual Core 1.7Ghz or faster processor, 2GB of Memory, and 5GB of free hard drive space.

• Auto Update New Effect Off Rules

• When auto-updating cues/scenes and selecting the option to update the palette (not the cue), any existing per fixture rules in the palette will not record “off” effect table values into the palette. However, palettes originally created with global or per type rules will be appended with per fixture rules that contain “off” effect table values.

• CITP Support for Hippo 4.6, Hippotizer v4.6 Layer and Hippotizer v4.6 Layer Lite

• The "Robot" Icon in the Fixture Scheduler that indicated a fixture profile was not created by High End Systems has been removed from the Fixture Schedule.

• Plot Gang Lines have been darkened when the edit gang option is disabled

• A new Keyboard Shortcut has been added to close all windows

• Open + (dot) will now act as a Close All button. Previously this key combination would toggle the Unlock button.

• The Blue Color used in the Output Window while in stealth mode has been adjusted to help view the data easier.

• Functions listed in query menus are now in alphabetical order using the ASCII sort order.

• The Hog 4 PC GUI Front Panel now scales based on the Windows scale settings.
