Obsidian Control Systems announces release of Onyx 4.4 lighting control software, which fully integrates Obsidian’s Dylos pixel composer. Integration of Dylos into the Onyx platform brings a toolset of media composition, effects, content and text generators, along with a variety of parameter manipulation, into the core of any Onyx console or PC system.
According to the announcement, “Creative control with Dylos is truly limitless, offering the designer an incredibly diverse tool set to support the performance with organic color compositions and animations. Dylos enhances the design process and encourages playful experimentation rather than an overly technical and uninspiring approach of numbers and values. Dylos is fun to use and easy to navigate, allowing the designer to focus on the creative process.”
Based on a full 3D environment and DirectX graphics processing, the Dylos engine is designed to manage tens of thousands of fixtures and parameters. The Dylos workflow follows the same access to any regular stage light programmed with Onyx. Available any time dynamic control of colors and intensity is required, Dylos is natively integrated into the operation of the console, designed for seamless programming and playback through its optimized user interface of live previews, thumbnails, library and FX browsers and dynamic parameter control.
As part of this launch, Obsidian Control Systems is offering all users of Dylos a curated content package with over 1100 media files in many categories. In addition to this media collection, any custom user content can be imported at any time in almost any codec and size. Content is optimized by Dylos for replay and instant access.
An unrestricted trial version of two Dylos Zones and up to four Universes of DMX is enabled automatically for any Onyx PC installation and allows users to experience Dylos in combination with the free content package. PC systems can be unlocked through the plug-and-play Onyx Key, expanding Onyx to 128 Universes.
Onyx 4.4 is compatible with all Onyx NX4 and NX2 consoles, all Onyx PC systems and the M1HD and M2GOHD M-Series controllers. A variety of USB devices like the NX-Touch or NX-DMX are supported to customize and tailor the Onyx experience to any application.
