Onyx
Obsidian Control Systems' ONYX delivers professional-grade lighting control in a platform that is both powerful and accessible. Because all processing can be done internally (up to the universe limit of the license/hardware), system architecture is simplified and the need for external processors or complex networked nodes is reduced. The rich library and intuitive interface reduces setup time. The scalability means users from theatres, houses of worship, event production, and touring can all use the same platform. This makes it a strong choice for integration with hardware consoles or PC-based workflows.
DYLOS
DYLOS is a powerful, built-in media and pixel engine integrated into the ONYX lighting control platform. More than a simple pixel mapper, DYLOS delivers a full-featured media engine designed for direct use from the console surface. It supports multiple zones of pixel control, allowing lighting designers to map media content across fixture groups, as a dynamic visual canvas. By merging pixel-based effects, rich media playback, and advanced animation tools into the ONYX ecosystem, DYLOS eliminates the need for external servers and empowers creators with an intuitive and unified lighting and media workflow.
