Obsidian Control Systems teams from Europe and the U.S. are heading to the Prolight + Sound tradeshow with additions to its NETRON data distribution range and invite lighting professionals to Hall 12.1, Stand B49/C49 for a closer look.
Visitors will also be able to demo intuitive NX consoles, including the scalable and full-featured NX1, the lighting console that has propelled the ONYX platform’s popularity to new heights.
Until now, there have been no IP-rated data distribution devices to provide the required infrastructure. On display will be the world’s first line of IP65-rated data distribution products for entertainment. The NETRON IP65 range blends the proven chassis and connector technology of Elation’s market-leading IP65 Proteus range of lighting fixtures with the NETRON data platform. Utilising a custom-designed die-cast body, impact-resistant paint, IP ports and touch controls, the NETRON IP65 range provides data distribution for any location that requires dust and moisture protection. Available is a 6-port RDM Splitter (RDM6 IP), 6-port EtherDMX Node (EN6 IP) and an 8-port managed POE switch (NS8 IP).
Obsidian is also showing a line of NETRON products in smart form factors for system integrators and fixed installations. Two new compact devices with interchangeable connection plates offer performance and flexibility. Available as RDM6D (6-port RDM Splitter) and EN6D (6-port EtherDMX Node), these rugged chassis can be DIN-Rail or wall mounted and provide data ports that can be repositioned to the top, bottom or front of the devices.
Other new devices include the EN12i, a hardwired rackmount node; EP1, the new single-gang size EtherDMX node in the NETRON line; NS8, NETRON’s half-rack-sized managed switch solution; and RP2, an intelligent 2-way DMX power relay that serves as a protective device for lighting fixtures.
Visitors to PL+S will also be able to demo Obsidian hardware and PC systems, including the NX1, Obsidian’s full-featured lighting console. A compact, motorised fader wing, the NXP, as well as a small USB-powered control surface for ONYX, the NXK, both ideal companions to the NX1 console, will also be on display.
