Obsidian Control Systems is showcasing the first three lighting control products under the Onyx lighting control platform at the LDI Show in Las Vegas this week. Designers, programmers and operators are invited to Obsidian Control Systems Booth #1135 for a first look and hands-on demo of the NX 2, the portable NX Wing and the convenient NX DMX.
NX 2: The NX 2 is a compact yet fully-integrated lighting controller with connectivity and power to meet the demands of ever-increasing show sizes. NX 2 offers professional features like a high brightness, full-HD multi touchscreen, eight assignable parameter encoders, an assistive mini touchscreen, full keypad and command section, a dedicated grand master, and 10 full playbacks with four freely assignable buttons. Utilizing the latest in industrial components, the NX 2 contains a powerful Intel Hexa-Core processor, high-speed NVMe SSD drive and 16GB of DDR4 RAM. It also has the ability to process 64 Universes right inside the console without the need for external processing networks.
NX Wing: NX Wing is the complementary USB control surface to Obsidian Control Systems’ Onyx platform. Based on the NX 2 console, the NX Wing utilizes the same rugged design and components with an identical footprint and layout. Through its USB connection, the NX Wing provides a responsive professional hardware surface to operate Onyx on any PC system without compromises. Any Onyx user will feel familiar with the NX Wing and no setup or additional installation is required. Plug it into a user-provided PC with Onyx and get started instantly. NX Wing provides extensive connectivity with four DMX Ports, MIDI and Timecode ports while unlocking 128 Universes of control when connected to Onyx on a PC.
NX DMX: The NX DMX is a USB –powered, plug -and –play, 2 –port DMX Node for Onyx. It provides instant access to DMX In and Outputs as well as RDM communication. The device is plug and play and requires no drivers or additional configuration to integrate with Onyx. It is designed to work with any PC but also works with any Onyx console as a fast and affordable way to add two additional DMX ports. NX DMX supports ONYX on PC systems for up to four Universes without any dedicated license. When connected to an Onyx licensed PC or a console the NX DMX is assignable to any one of 255 Universes. NX DMX allows for the full ONYX system to be used in many applications from small events and tradeshows to clubs and churches. Many technicians utilize ONYX through the NX DMX as a tests station due to Onyx library support.
