Obsidian Releases ONYX 4.32

Obsidian Control Systems introduces ONYX 4.32, the latest iteration of its lighting control software for NX consoles and PC systems. This new version is said to include improvements designed to give lighting programmers more control, speed, and flexibility while opening up new possibilities for creative programming.

Key updates in ONYX 4.32 include:

Users can skip over cues while keeping the show running smoothly; this, the company says, is perfect for complex theatre programming. Parameters can now also be released in cues within a cue list, allowing greater control when mixing cue lists.

LTC timecode can now be received through a standard line-level audio input, eliminating the need for additional hardware; the company says this is especially beneficial for ONYX PC and NX1 users.

A quick double-tap of the respective key sets ONYX into "fade" or "delay" mode, for applying timings to individual parameters or for recording into cues and presets.

ONYX's DyLOS pixel composer has been enhanced with new features, including control mode selection for DyLOS Zonee, for choosing between DyLOS or standard cue data; gobo mapping support for applying media to individual fixtures, effectively turning each into a mini screen; and group masking to exclude up to two user-defined groups from a DyLOS Zone using logic modifiers.

The 2D Plan now features a convenient mini map for easier navigation, allowing users to locate positions, along with enhanced zoom capabilities, quickly.
