High End Systems recently announced the release of their new HPU Hybrid Processing Unit. HPU is the new hybrid processor unit for the Hog 4 family. One HPU unit can act either as a rack-mounted console with or as a DMX Processor connected to another Hog 4 family console product, capable of 64 universes of output from a single 2U 19-inch rack mount device. With all the power of a Hog 4 console, the HPU is designed for those applications where permanent hardware front-panel interfaces are not necessary, such as cruise ships, theme parks, and architectural lighting installations.
