On May 2, 2016, Creative Stage Lighting celebrated its 39th birthday. Like any birthday, we took a moment to reflect on our time in business and the journey from our beginnings to the company we are today.
Next year we’ll be 40, which will be a huge milestone for CSL. It wouldn’t be possible without all of you: our loyal customers and clients for nearly four decades. Thank you.
High End Systems has recently added more videos to their Youtube channel showing how to use HOG 4 features, including how to import fixture libraries and how to use the fixture builder:
CSL at the Long Lake Central School Career Fair
We were so happy to be included in the Long Lake Central School career fair! Creative Stage Lighting and other companies from the Adirondacks were asked to come speak with students. We discussed what Creative Stage Lighting is all about, the kinds of skills we look for when hiring, and what the entertainment lighting industry is like!

High End Systems has released version 3.0 of their HOG 4 software. This release can run on Hog 4, Full Boar 4, Road Hog 4, Nano Hog 4, Hog 4PC, Hedge Hog 4/4S/4N/4X, and RackHog 4.
New features include:
Users can now build graphical 2-dimension fixture plots in their show files, allowing for quick and easy fixture selection and basic feedback. See section 20 of the Hog 4 OS help manual for more details.
Console operators can now use the plot window to create PixelMaps that can then be used to display video or still image content on fixtures. Custom content is also supported for import into the console for PixelMapping playback. See section 20.4 of the Hog 4 OS help manual for more details.
Users can now adjust the intensity level of an inhibitive submaster by holding down the choose key for that inhibitive submaster (or hold down the onscreen display for that master on the playback bar) and turning the appropriate main encoder wheel labeled “intensity”. This enables user to be able to adjust inhibitive submitters assigned to masters that don’t have physical faders.
Holding pig while selecting files or folders in the the file browser now adds those files and/or folders to the selection one-by-one as if holding the control key on an external keyboard (in previous software versions hold pig while selecting files and/or folders mimicked holding the shift on a keyboard). Also, now holding the pig key while selecting a single folder in the file browser will select the folder instead of entering the folder.
After upgrading the console to v3.0.0 the console front panel will enter HID mode ONLY when Pig+Fan+Cursor Up are held. If additional keys are held the console will not enter HID mode. Also following the upgrade the blind key LED will continually blink anytime the console front panel is set to HID mode.
The Hog 4 console’s center wheel now adjusts single dmx integer parameters such as media folder and media file by a value of 1 with each click of the center wheel’s direct control wheel. The center wheel’s shuttle control wheel still works the same as before.
This release also includes a number of bug fixes.
To upgrade use the download links on High End’s website for your console.
