Obsidian Onyx is a “cheaper” lighting controller, using a unified application for both dedicated consoles and PC.

Networking

Onyx Remote

• The official iOS app.
• For Android, try Unofficial Onyx Remote instead.
• OSC apps may be used instead, e.g. touchOSC.

X-Net

• X-Net is Onix’s protocol for linking multiple Onyx consoles together over the network, with one acting as primary.
• The show runs on the primary, but most state (and chat) is synchronized to all secondaries.
• All consoles need all required licenses for the show. Licenses are not shared/acculumated.
• Only the primary will output DMX, but using Art-Net/sACN instead will allow quick failover if connected to the same network (must be disabled on the secondaries).

EtherDMX

• For outputting DMX to Art-Net or sACN.

Telnet and UDP

• Telnet and UDP may be used to send commands to Onyx.

Hardware

NX-K (Keypad)

• The four encoders may either be assigned to the main encoders (“parameter”) or the screen encoders (“screen”) in the preferences.
