Lighting control professionals crowded the Obsidian Control Systems booth at LDI in Las Vegas according to a recent company release. Obsidian is a growing lighting control brand used by lighting designers, programmers and operators. Visitors made their way to the Obsidian booth over the course of the three-day show to check out the trending NX1 lighting console, as well as other consoles in the NX line and a full line of Netron data distribution products.
The NX1 has created buzz in the lighting control community since launching at the Prolight + Sound tradeshow in Frankfurt last April with LDI the first opportunity for many in the U.S. to see and demo the console in person. The unit has been shipping worldwide since September.
The NX1 is a scalable and full-featured console that offers the Onyx experience in an ultra-compact package. The intuitive professional console is expandable with the dedicated NXP motorized playback wing, and the NXK, a small USB-powered control surface. Obsidian ran a grand prize drawing at the show with a brand new NX1 console given away on the last day of the show.
“Obsidian had great response from the lighting community,” says Elation Channel Sales Manager John Lopez. “Along with the NX1 systems complete with the NXP and NXK, we featured the full-power DyLOS pixel composer on the NX4 featuring an upcoming release to Onyx. We also featured the NX2 with additional touch monitor and NX Touch as an additional play back wing. With the help of Vangelis and Visilis from Capture Sweden, we were also able to feature Capture Visualisation. Both Onyx and Capture share the same libraries provided by AtlaBase, which allows instant libraries for both your control and design software, but more importantly instant patch import with the click of a button.
“On top of all that, we were able to feature the full Netron line, including the new “CLU” Central Utility Software used to identify and change settings to the Netron gateway nodes. We featured a 6U 60-Universe Netron rack fully powered with POE plus a 3U 4-Universe portable rack, featuring the EN4 with two DMX10-5 AB DMX data splitters. Overall we provided a complete control solution to users and I believe those solutions are what created such great acceptance from the lighting control professionals at the show.”
Obsidian also gave away a Netron EP4 EtherDMX node to a visitor each day of the show.
