Obsidian Control Systems has introduced Onyx 4.10, the latest iteration of the lighting-control software for NX consoles and PC systems.


With the update, Onyx will support the NDI network protocol, facilitating real-time transmission of audio and video signals over networks. Users can capture high-quality streaming-video feeds directly from external media servers into the DyLos library. This upgrade feature allows for a fluid transmission of video content over all lighting, video walls and projectors, enabling designers to fully manage visual elements in any event space. Additionally, NDI streaming enhances compatibility with ProPresenter.


Onyx 4.10 also introduces audio input, filter and analyzer processors (including NDI and ASIO), enabling manipulation of graphics based on audio input. These enhancements cater to the specific needs of designers working on high-energy lighting programming typical of music festivals, EDM shows or clubs.


Output overrides (Park, Default, Highlight and Offset) are available as customizable presets within a dedicated programmer context. Additionally, Onyx now includes direct support for exterior triggers, with added compatibility for Telnet and UDP commands for cue triggering.
