NEW High End Systems Full Boar 4 Console

High End Systems’ Full Boar 4 is a compact, tour-ready lighting console built on the robust Hog 4 OS, versatile enough to handle everything from a corporate show to a full stadium gig. It delivers the power and familiar programming layout of the flagship Hog 4 in a more space-conscious, budget-friendly footprint, with sleek lines and raked screens that keep programming and playback information easy to see at the desk.

Built for fast programming and confident playback

Full Boar 4 is designed for demanding programmers who need speed, precision, and flexibility. Two internal 15.6-inch 10-point multi-touch screens support quick navigation and direct control, and the console can be expanded with up to two external DVI-I monitors/touchscreens when you want more workspace for plots, palettes, and playback views. Unlimited simultaneous crossfades make it easier to run complex cueing while keeping transitions smooth and predictable.

Network-ready for modern rigs

For distributed systems and networked lighting workflows, Full Boar 4 includes separate Hog-Net and Fixture-Net etherCON connectors, plus two gigabit Ethernet ports for Art-Net, sACN, and console networking. With four on-board DMX universes, it can drive smaller to mid-sized systems directly while scaling cleanly into larger networks through standard lighting-over-IP protocols.

Hands-on control where it matters

The control surface is optimized for live operation with 10 motorized playback faders and a motorized Grand Master for consistent show playback and quick overrides. A dedicated DBO toggle key supports instant stage blackouts when needed. Five expanded-wheelset encoders, a tri-axis backlit trackball with rotary encoder and configurable buttons, and 12 user-assignable function keys with an associated LCD help keep commonly used tools and parameters close at hand.

Hardware details for the road and the install

An internal solid-state hard drive supports responsive operation and reliable show storage. Practical touches like a Kensington security slot help when the console is in shared environments.
