Obsidian Control Systems has introduced ONYX 4.32, the latest iteration of its popular lighting control software for NX consoles and PC systems. This new version includes a host of improvements—feature enhancements and bug fixes—designed to give lighting programmers more control, speed, and flexibility while opening up new possibilities for creative programming.

Faster cue control, smarter pixel mapping, and timecode support via standard audio input make programming smoother than ever. Whether you work in theater, broadcast, or live events, ONYX 4.32 gives designers and programmers tools that streamline workflow for an even more intuitive lighting control experience.

Working on the Onyx 4.32, users can skip over cues while keeping the show running smoothly, which works perfectly for complex theatre programming. Parameters can now also be released in cues within a cue list, allowing even greater control when mixing cue lists. Plus, LTC timecode can now be received through a standard line-level audio input, eliminating the need for additional hardware—especially beneficial for ONYX PC and NX1 users. And a quick double-tap of the respective key sets ONYX into “Fade” or “Delay” mode, perfect for applying timings to individual parameters or for recording into cues and presets.

ONYX’s powerful DyLOS pixel composer has been enhanced with new features, including Control mode selection for DyLOS Zones where choose between DyLOS or standard cue data, “Gobo mapping” support for applying media to individual fixtures where each is effectively turned into a mini ‘screen’, and “Group Masking” to exclude up to two user-defined groups from a DyLOS Zone using logic modifiers. Plus, the 2D Plan now features a convenient mini-map for easier navigation, allowing users to locate their position, along with enhanced zoom capabilities, quickly.
