This new version includes a host of improvements—feature enhancements and bug fixes—designed to give lighting programmers more control, speed, and flexibility while opening up new possibilities for creative programming.

Faster cue control, smarter pixel mapping, and timecode support via standard audio input make programming smoother than ever.

Key updates in ONYX 4.32 include

Cue List Tracking
Skip over cues while keeping your show running smoothly, perfect for complex theatre programming. Parameters can now also be released in cues within a cue list, allowing even greater control when mixing cue lists.

LTC Audio Input Support
LTC timecode can now be received through a standard line-level audio input, eliminating the need for additional hardware—especially beneficial for ONYX PC and NX1 users.

Quick Fade / Delay Modes
A quick double-tap of the respective key sets ONYX into "Fade" or "Delay" mode, perfect for applying timings to individual parameters or for recording into cues and presets.

DyLOS Upgrades
ONYX’s powerful DyLOS pixel composer has been enhanced with new features, including:
-    Control mode selection for DyLOS Zones—choose between DyLOS or standard cue data.
-    “Gobo mapping” support for applying media to individual fixtures, effectively turning each into a mini “screen.”
-    Group Masking to exclude up to two user-defined groups from a DyLOS Zone using logic modifiers.

2D Plan Mini Map
The 2D Plan now features a convenient mini-map for easier navigation, allowing users to locate their position, along with enhanced zoom capabilities, quickly.
