High End Systems Hedgehog 4 Compact Lighting Console with 4 Universes of Output Channels

The HedgeHog 4 lighting console possesses the flexibility and functionality to excel in a wide range of settings from nightclubs and corporate productions, to churches, theaters and other small- to mid-sized budget applications where lighting professionals require a proficient and ergonomic control surface. Developed by High End Systems, the HedgeHog 4 is the latest member of the Hog family of consoles, which has long set the standard for lighting control products.

Featuring the familiar programming and command line interface and user-friendly ergonomic control surface that have made the Hog series so widely accepted by lighting professionals throughout the world, the HedgeHog 4 is a powerful self-contained lighting controller with a built-in computer running Hog 4 OS software. The console also has a 12.1" touchscreen interface, two onboard DMX and four Art-Net universes, ten Playback Faders and many other outstanding features. Running on Linux, it is fast, stable and ready to Hog. Retaining the same programming layout as its larger brother, the Road Hog 4, as well as being able to load showfiles from any console in the range (and vice versa) means that this compact console is extremely flexible and easy to use.
