ONYX Lighting Control

This module allows control of Onyx lighting consoles and PC setups using Telnet. Onyx has two different Telnet servers, one through the lighting software itself and a second through a bundled utility called Onyx Manager. It is recommended to use the built-in Telnet server (default port 23) for most actions and use a second instance of this module with Onyx Manager (default port 2323) if access to Onyx Manager's scheduler is required.

Available Commands

• Specific cuelist playback commands: go, pause/back, and release
• Activating a specific cue in a specific cuelist
• Setting the level of a cuelist's playback fader
• Clearing the contents of the programmer
• General release commands: release all cuelists, release all cuelists dimmer first, release all overrides, and release all cuelists and overrides
• Activating a scheduled event (requires ONYX Manager)
