Obsidian Control Systems announce availability of the NX1, an ultra-compact yet full-featured lighting controller designed to handle a wide variety of shows using the Onyx lighting control platform. The NX1 also features an expandable playback wing (NX P) along with a 10-digit keypad (NX K) that combined with the NX1 creates an even more powerful and flexible console.
Designed for smaller to medium projects where an intuitive console is needed without a PC, the NX1 can be used by rental companies, mobile lighting programmers and houses of worship. The NX1 joins the compact yet fully-integrated NX2 and Obsidian’s flagship NX4 under the Onyx lighting control platform.
Full Onyx Operating System
The NX1 is designed as a small but powerful console where Playback and Programming interfaces are fully supported. Utilizing the full ONYX Operating System, the NX1 offers a slate of professional features like a high-brightness 10.1" HD multi-touch screen plus 1 HDMI output for one additional external touch monitor that allows for additional customizable views (optional touchscreen monitor not included). Included are four assignable parameter encoders; 10 full motorized playbacks with four freely assignable buttons plus an extra playback and function key hybrid array. A dedicated Master Go section rounds out the front panel design.
Featuring industrial grade components like a new Intel processor, high-speed NVMe SSD drive and 8GB of DDR4 RAM allow for fast boot times, instant operation and the ability to process eight Universes inside the console. With four DMX ports, a Gigabit network port for up to eight Universes of Art-Net, sACN plus the Onyx X-Net protocol, the NX1 has connectivity and power for a wide variety of shows and applications. One additional touch monitor is supported for more direct access at any time. Measuring 298.5 mm x 636 mm x 71 mm (11.75 x 25 x 2.8 in.) and weighing 4.5 kg (9.9 lbs), the NX1 fits under one arm and is portable enough to carry on commercial flights. Included items include an LED USB desk lamp, dust cover, USB 3.0 recovery drive and IP65 locking power cable.
Expandable
The NX1 is expandable with the NX P playback wing with motorized faders and dedicated NX K keypad that on their own can operate as a PC wing. A magnetic alignment system allows attachment to either side of the NX1. The keypad and playback wing are part of the Onyx platform and can be utilized with all other NX devices or Onyx on any PC system.
NX P
The NX P is a compact, motorized fader wing for the Onyx platform. An expansion for any Onyx 1 console and Onyx PC systems, it replicates the full playback section of the NX1. Four integrated DMX ports provide instant connectivity to the lighting system. Multiple NX P wings can be connected to any Onyx console or PC system, expanding direct access with 20 playbacks at a time. The flexible button array can be mapped to playback control or function keys.
The NX P replicates the layout and all functionality of the NX1 and NX4 console surfaces. A simple magnetic alignment system allows attachment on any side of the NX1 console or NX K command pad.
NX K
The NX K is a small USB-powered control surface for Onyx. The companion for the NX1 console and Onyx PC systems, it replicates the full keypad and command section of larger consoles. Four encoders complete the programming experience for direct parameter access. A simple magnetic alignment system allows attachment on any side of the NX1 console or NX P motorized fader wing.
