The HPU is the hybrid processor unit for the Hog family. One HPU can act as a rack-mounted console, designed for use as a rack-mounted server/backup or for those applications where permanent hardware front-panel interfaces are not necessary, or serve as a DMX Processor connected to another Hog console product, expanding the system output by an additional 64 universes. Whether as a standalone solution or part of a larger setup, the HPU delivers exceptional performance and flexibility.
