Obsidian Control Systems Announces Onyx 4.4 Featuring Dylos Pixel Composer
Obsidian Control Systems has announced the release of ONYX 4.4 lighting control software, which fully integrates Obsidian’s DYLOS pixel composer, opening up new possibilities for the creative designer. Integration of DYLOS into the ONYX platform brings an innovative toolset of media composition, effects, content, and text generators, along with a large variety of parameter manipulation, right into the core of any ONYX console or PC system.
Create new ideas
Creative control with DYLOS offers the designer a 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.
Power and performance
Based on a full 3D environment and powerful DirectX graphics processing, the DYLOS engine has been designed for power and performance to manage tens of thousands of fixtures and parameters with ease. DYLOS is natively integrated into the operation of the console, offering seamless programming and playback through its optimized user interface of live previews, thumbnails, library and FX browsers, and dynamic parameter control.
Free content package / unrestricted trial
As part of the launch, Obsidian Control Systems is offering users of DYLOS a carefully curated content package with over 1100 media files in many categories. In addition to this large media collection, any custom user content can be imported at any time in almost any codec and size.
An unrestricted trial version of two DYLOS Zones and up to four Universes of DMX is enabled automatically for any ONYX PC installation and is a great way to experience the power of DYLOS in combination with the free content package. PC systems can be easily unlocked through the plug-and-play ONYX KEY, instantly 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.
