The "i" in its name stands for its integrated PC motherboard operating via Windows XP Embedded.

Hog iPC uses four universes of DMX output direct from the console, expandable to eight universes using USB DMX Widgets or an USB DMX Super Widget. Two 12-inch high-brightness color touchscreens offer adjustable viewing angle. A backlit trackball with four configurable buttons provide cursor and position control.

Ten Playback faders feature the familiar Wholehog 3 playback controls (choose, go, pause & flash). Hog iPC offers an internal hard disk drive, and re-writeable CD-ROM drive; Five Universal Serial Bus ports for touch screens, external drives, printer, and Wholehog 3 accessories (e.g. playback wing, expansion wing, and additional USB DMX Widgets).

Ethernet connector allows communications with Hog 3PC computers, Hog iPC consoles, and Wholehog 3 console systems. Remote Focus functionality is available when networked with a computer running Hog 3PC software.
