Obsidian Control Systems will arrive at LDI 2025 with a strong message: powerful, scalable and modern lighting control belongs in every workflow—whether touring, broadcast, live events or fixed installations. Visitors will have the opportunity to experience the company’s latest hardware innovation, the NX W control wing, alongside new ONYX platform upgrades and expanded NETRON data distribution solutions.

Headlining the showcase is the all-new NX W, a compact yet fully featured USB-C control wing developed to bring ONYX control to any compatible PC system. Designed for fast programming, precision playback and operator confidence in any environment, the wing offers a tactile surface fitted with RGB-backlit motorised faders, low-latency optical buttons and customisable multi-function keys. Four RGB parameter encoders and integrated DMX and network connectivity complete a professional-grade interface built for modern production workflows. The unit ships with a 16-universe ONYX licence, with upgrade options available up to 128 universes via USB licence expansion.

Also debuting is the enhanced NX1-16 console. Doubling the universe count of the original NX1, the upgraded model now supports up to 16 Universes natively, providing significantly greater headroom for larger or more complex lighting designs. Maintaining the compact, modular architecture that has made the NX1 a popular programming and touring solution, the NX1-16 can be expanded using the NXK keypad and NXP motorised playback wing.

Obsidian will also spotlight its NETRON data distribution range, including the world’s first IP66-rated professional-grade distribution line. Designed for harsh entertainment environments where reliability is critical, the range features rugged die-cast housings, impact-resistant finishes, sealed I/O, and touch interface controls. IP-rated solutions include the EN6 IP EtherDMX node, the RDM6 IP DMX/RDM splitter, and the NS8 IP managed PoE switch.
