Obsidian Brings Next-Generation Lighting Control and Networking to IBC 2026 Obsidian Control Systems invites lighting designers, programmers, operators, and systems integrators to experience the latest in lighting control and data distribution at IBC 2026, September 11-14 in Amsterdam. Visit Stand 12.C60 for hands-on demonstrations of the new ONYX NX3 lighting console, NX W control wing, and NX1-16, along with the latest innovations from the Netron data distribution family. Designed for the demands of modern broadcast and live production environments, Obsidian's latest solutions are said to bring greater control capacity, flexible system configurations, and intuitive operation to lighting professionals working across a wide range of broadcast applications. Making its IBC debut, the NX3 is a ONYX lighting console shaped by direct feedback from lighting designers, programmers, and operators. Combining ten motorized faders, RGB backlight feedback, a 17.3", ten-point multi-touch display, and direct control of up to 64 Universes, NX3 delivers high-capacity control in a powerful yet portable platform. NX3's ergonomic hardware layout integrates naturally with the ONYX interface, while four network ports, support for up to three external displays, and compatibility with ONYX accessories provide flexibility and scalability for demanding productions. Other Key NX3 Features include 17.3" 10-Point Multi-Touch Main Display; Large Parameter Touchscreen; 5th Rotary Encoder (Intensity); Playback Aligned w/ Display; Integrated Power Supply; Four Network Ports: 2x 1Gb Locking RJ45 + 2x 2.5Gb; and Support for three External Displays Also making its IBC appearance is the NX W, a sleek, portable, full-featured PC control wing designed to deliver professional ONYX operation via USB-C. Its responsive hardware surface brings the power of ONYX to any PC system, giving lighting operators a compact and intuitive interface built for speed, precision, and creative control. From RGB-backlit motorized faders to customizable multi-function buttons, NX W provides a comprehensive physical control surface while maintaining the portability and flexibility of a PC-based ONYX system. NX W Key Features include 10 Motorized Faders with RGB Backlight; Low-Latency Optical Buttons with RGB Backlight; Programming Keypad + 10 Multi-function Buttons; 4 RGB Parameter Encoders; 4 Integrated DMX/RDM Ports; Gigabit Network Port; and 16-Universe ONYX License (Upgradeable to 32, 64 and 128 via USB License Port). The NX1-16 expands the capabilities of Obsidian's compact, modular NX1 console with 16 Universes -- double the capacity of the original NX1. Its ultra-compact footprint makes it well suited to portable and space-conscious applications while providing greater programming flexibility. Fully compatible with the NX K keypad and NX P motorized playback wing, NX1-16 brings the full power of the ONYX platform to applications where control capability and compact dimensions are equally important.
