Networking
your
Wholehog with a Visualizer
Most visualizer manufacturers make some style of DMX/USB interface that
allows you to take the DMX from your console and input it via USB to
your computer.
In addition to this, the Wholehog engineers have created software
drivers that allow you to bypass this box and directly connect
your console and visualizer computer by networking- no DMX cable
needed.
The Wholehog Connectivity drivers support a connection with ESP Vision,
Wysiwyg, Lewlight Capture and Martin Show Designer. Below are
setup suggestions to help you network your Visualizer computer with
your console.
All Wholehog classes taught at High End Systems utilize ESP Vision.
