Networking in ONYX

Most modern lighting systems will employ at least 1 type of networking within it's scope - and ONYX is no stranger to networking and networked protocols.

Within the ONYX platform, there are multiple types of networked connections available as you will see throughout this chapter.

They fit within a few main categories:

• X-Net: Primary and Secondary Consoles
• EtherDMX: Network-based DMX output to nodes or devices that take Art-Net or sACN directly.
• Other Control Protocols: OSC, CITP, Timecode, and ONYX Remote are all available.

Each type of networked protocol can be sent and received on one or multiple network interfaces within the same ONYX console or PC. These can be configured to meet your specific needs.
