About the High End DP2000 DMX Processor
The High End DP2000 DMX Processor is a 1U 19-inch rack unit designed to provide distributed DMX output for Wholehog operating system environments. Each unit features four isolated, half-duplex DMX512 ports and one 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet input, delivering a total channel output capacity of 2048 across four DMX universes. Because the Wholehog OS imposes no fixed channel limit, additional DP2000 units can be added alongside an Ethernet switch to meet the demands of any production or installation. Onboard processing handles cross-fades and effects locally, and all functions are configurable remotely, with firmware upgradeable over the network. The unit is built around a 75MHz PowerPC processor with 32MB of DRAM and 8MB of Flash memory, features a white LED backlit graphic LCD for configuration and testing, comprehensive LED status feedback, and an auto-ranging mains input accepting 90 to 250V AC. The precision-machined aluminium panel carries wear-resistant legends throughout.
High End DP2000 DMX Processor — buyer FAQs
What is the High End DP2000 DMX Processor and what does it do?
The High End DP2000 DMX Processor is a 1U 19-inch rack unit that provides distributed DMX output power for Wholehog lighting control systems. Each unit delivers 2048 channels across four isolated, half-duplex DMX512 ports via a single Fast Ethernet input. Onboard processing handles cross-fades and effects locally, so adding units to expand channel capacity does not significantly affect console performance.
Who makes the DP2000 and how does it fit into their product range?
The DP2000 is made by High End Systems, an American entertainment lighting manufacturer known for automated fixtures and the Hog family of lighting consoles. The DP2000 sits on the output side of the Wholehog ecosystem, acting as a dedicated processing node rather than a console itself. Since 2017, High End Systems has been owned by Electronic Theatre Controls (ETC).
How scalable is the DP2000 for large productions or installations?
The Wholehog operating system imposes no fixed channel limit, so operators can add as many DP2000 units as needed alongside an Ethernet switch to reach the required number of DMX universes. Each additional unit contributes another 2048 channels across four universes, and all units are configurable and firmware-upgradeable remotely over the network, making expansion straightforward for both touring productions and permanent installations.
What should I check when buying a used High End DP2000 DMX Processor?
Confirm the number of DMX ports in working order and verify that the LCD display and LED status indicators function correctly, as these are the primary configuration and diagnostic tools on the unit. Check that the auto-ranging mains input accepts your local voltage within the 90 to 250V AC range and that the aluminium panel is undamaged. Used listings on this page include condition details, and every 10K Used listing carries a 21-day warranty covering major functional faults.

How much does a used DP2000 DMX Processor cost?
Used DP2000 prices vary depending on condition, age and whether accessories such as rack hardware are included. Units in better condition with verified functionality typically command more than those sold as spares or with cosmetic wear. The live listings on this page reflect current market prices, and many listings include a Make an Offer option if you want to negotiate.
