The DP8K Exchange Program is Now Live! 

If you're still using the High End Systems DMX Processor 8000 (DP8K), now is the ideal time to upgrade. The DP8K was discontinued in 2020, and while it remained supported through Hog 4 software version 4.x, it is no longer compatible with the latest Hog OS v5.x – the minimum version required for new Hog hardware. 

To help you move forward with confidence, we’ve launched the DP8K Exchange Program. 

Why Upgrade? 

Stay Current with Hog OS v5.x 
The HPU (hybrid processing unit) is the high-performance replacement for the DP8K. It combines console and processing power in one rack-mounted unit and is fully compatible with Hog OS v5.x and the latest Hog hardware. 

Significant Discount Available 
When you trade in your DP8K, you’ll receive a significant discount on your new HPU purchase. This offer is designed to make the transition easier and more affordable. 

Environmentally Responsible 
Return your DP8K for recycling, or provide proof of proper disposal, and help us support a more sustainable future for entertainment technology. 

Limited-Time Offer 
Orders must be placed by 31 December 2025 to qualify. Don’t miss this opportunity. 

How to Get Started 

Contact your local dealer to confirm eligibility and begin your upgrade. They’ll guide you through the process and provide all the details you need.
