Obsidian Control Systems to Highlight New Portable Lighting Control Solutions at Prolight+Sound 2022

Obsidian Control Systems will be returning to the Prolight+Sound show in Frankfurt April 26 - 29 and invites designers, programmers and operators to Hall 12.1, Stand C49 to sample a host of new releases that includes several new lighting control products under the ONYX lighting control platform. Catch a sneak peek video here.

Visitors will have a chance to demo the new NX1, a portable yet full-featured lighting console that offers the complete ONYX experience without compromises in an ultra-compact package, the company says. The NX1 offers a slate of professional features and is built from the latest in industrial components. A compact, motorized fader wing, the NX P, as well as a small USB-powered control surface for ONYX, the NX K, both ideal companions to the NX1 console, will also be on display. The latest developments in the ONYX platform will make their debut at the show, from powerful NDI video input connectivity to new fixture parameter configuration options.

New devices in Obsidian's NETRON data distribution line will also be on hand for detailed inspection.

The restart is in full swing. Visit Obsidian at Stand C49.
