The team at Obsidian Control Systems is heading to InfoComm 2026 in Las Vegas, June 17–19, with several major additions to the company’s control and data distribution portfolio. Visitors to Booth N6145 can get hands-on with the all-new Onyx NX3 lighting console, alongside the latest Netron innovations, including the FS16 rackmount network switch and a new family of DIN-rail control solutions designed for professional installations.
