open case and lift off mixer
then take a scalpel and cut out the sponge within dimension of rackmount unit.it fit
p.s. high end could do this instead of separate this two unit

    I'd be afraid of overheating your DP unless you somehow account for ventilation.

    Soneyboy,

    All brand new road cases have enough room in them to store a DP8000. Old style cases from HES/FPS should have a slot to hold a DP2000.

    Do new Hog III consoles come with a DP 8000 instead of the 2k?

    Yes...I believe DP-2000 is discontinued entirely now.

    Does that mean it will cost extra...?

    As far as I know, DP's have always cost extra.
    every once and a while they have a deal where 1 was included, but these were few and far between.

    I know I'm dreaming (and I love that :D) but as the hog 3 is the flag product and regarding all options that are included in the Full Boar, DP 2000 could be exchanged by DP 8000 (one by console) or a software system to allow 16 Artnet output via a PC or a Hog3 PC could be found (something like a Virtual DP).

    You can output Art-Net from 3PC, but you need a DP8K. I think the issues, is that you would then need to be telling your PC thats its ethernet port is outputing Art-Net. But after all, H3PC (In my eyes) is an offline editor. All of the wings, widgets etc are to enable us to program in a studio enviroment with a cheaper option than the console itself. Thats the way I look at it, and if your show has equipment with Art-Net cababilities, then I am sure it should be able to afford a console rather than a PC.

    I want to use Hog 3 like a (big) Dongle, when a Hog 3 is connected to Hog 3 PC, Hog 3 PC could output artnet, when hog 3 is not connected, hog 3 PC has no artnet output.

    I see this issue. The beautiful DP8K would solve that!

    I sure of that but it is too expensive for the moment and as the FB has 12 universes output via artnet why the flag has 0?

    My best guess would be the Hardware. Maybe the H3 hardware doesnt support it..? It has one ethernet port. Really you need two, one for Hog-net and one for Art-Net. Secondly, I think Linux may have something to do with it. After all you cannot USB save. That is a general and basic thing Linux is not allowing us to do. So outputing Art-Net is more complex and maybe it cannot do that. So it wouldn't surprise me if linux was stopping this too.

    You can't output directly Artnet from the Hog3 because it will slow down the console, you must use an artnet processor or change all the hardware :-)

    That would be another reason, yes.
