USB Lighting Control Surface for ONYX Systems
This USB lighting control surface is designed to give lighting professionals hands-on control when running the ONYX lighting control platform on a PC. It functions as a fully featured hardware extension, allowing users to program, playback, and manage complex lighting rigs with physical controls instead of relying solely on a mouse and keyboard.
Designed to Match Professional Console Workflows
The control surface mirrors the layout and footprint of higher-end ONYX consoles, creating a familiar workflow for programmers and operators. Its solid construction and intuitive layout help speed up programming sessions and reduce errors during live operation, making it suitable for touring, installed venues, and production environments.
Plug and Play Integration with ONYX Software
Connection is handled entirely through USB, allowing any compatible PC running ONYX software to become a full lighting control workstation. No additional drivers or complicated setup are required, making it easy to deploy in temporary setups, mobile rigs, or permanent control rooms.
Expanded Universe Control for Complex Lighting Systems
When paired with ONYX software, this control surface enables access to up to 64 universes of lighting control. This level of output supports large-scale productions, multi-zone installations, and advanced pixel mapping applications where extensive channel capacity is required.
Built-In Hardware Controls for Faster Programming
The surface includes multiple playback faders, encoders, a numeric keypad, and an integrated touchscreen. These physical controls provide direct access to cues, effects, parameters, and fixtures, allowing operators to work faster and more efficiently during programming and live shows.
Professional Connectivity for Show Control Integration
Multiple DMX outputs, along with MIDI and timecode connectivity, allow the control surface to integrate with external lighting fixtures, media servers, and show control systems. This makes it suitable for synchronized lighting designs that rely on audio, video, or automation triggers.
Portable Design for Touring and Mobile Applications
Despite its advanced feature set, the unit is lightweight and portable, making it easy to transport between venues. This portability makes it a strong choice for touring lighting designers, rental houses, and production teams that need professional control in a compact format.
