Obsidian NX Sync - USB to SMPTE Timecode Interface with 2 x 3-Pin XLR Outputs for Onyx Software in Dark Gray Finish

The Obsidian NX Sync is a highly versatile USB to SMPTE timecode interface designed to facilitate seamless synchronization between lighting control systems and external audio or video playback devices. Finished in a sleek dark gray, this compact interface captures timecode in various SMPTE formats through its 3-pin XLR connections, converting it into a MIDI Timecode (MTC) stream that can be read by ONYX software or any other MIDI Timecode-compatible applications. This capability makes the NX Sync an essential tool for lighting technicians and designers working in environments where precise cue synchronization is critical.

With its advanced hardware architecture, the NX Sync ensures instant processing and minimal frame delays, providing reliability during live performances and complex productions. It enables the ONYX software to accurately read Linear Timecode (LTC) signals, allowing for perfect synchronization with external devices, such as sound systems or video playback equipment. This functionality is particularly valuable for events that require intricate timing and coordination between multiple media sources.

The NX Sync's dual 3-pin XLR connectors provide flexibility for both timecode input and output. The interface supports SMPTE timecode formats at 24, 25, 29.97, and 30 frames per second, accommodating a wide range of applications in the entertainment industry. Its native plug-and-play USB connection ensures quick setup with no need for custom drivers, allowing users to connect it easily to ONYX software, PCs, and Mac systems. The NX Sync is powered via USB, enhancing its portability and convenience in various settings.

Designed for practicality, the NX Sync features a convenient, space-saving, and stackable design, making it easy to integrate into any lighting rig without taking up excessive space. The rugged, impact-resistant housing ensures durability, protecting the device during transport and use in demanding environments. With a lightweight construction, weighing only 0.6 lbs, the NX Sync is an ideal companion for lighting professionals who require reliable timecode synchronization in a portable format.
