Bit of an update for anyone interested: I spoke to a GH employee last week at a technology event here in the UK, who revealed the new USB control solution to be the
Mackie C4 system. Price for the central MCU is about Ā£1000 (so about 10x the cost of the BCF2000, but will offer a lot more functionality, including a new way of recording cues and a way to easily and quickly control many Hippos at once.
Starting to sound like a must have accessory...
Also good news: Very soon (quite possibly next week) GH will be releasing a new build that will include the much rumoured two layer 720P mode for the Critter.
