Obsidian NX Sync SMPTE to MTC Timecode Interface

General

The Obsidian NX Sync is an advanced timecode interface that supports seamless SMPTE timecode and MIDI timecode synchronisation for lighting, audio and video applications. Designed for ONYX platform integration, the NX Synx excels when it comes to accurate cue synchronisation with external systems, like audio or video playback, and boasts unrivalled flexibility since it can process various different SMPTE timecode formats via the fitted 3-pin XLR input and convert the data into MTC for further processing in ONYX or other MTC-compatible software. Not only that, this specialised interface enables users to output MTC as SMPTE again, making it a versatile solution for cross-platform synchronisation.

Plug-and-Play Interface for Windows 10 and MacOS

The NX Sync has a robust hardware architecture that ensures fast processing and minimal frame latency — perfect for live performances where timing is crucial. The interface can even read Linear Timecode (LTC) signals, enabling flawless synchronisation between lighting gear and other timecode-based systems. Whether you're coordinating lighting cues with video or sound systems, the NX Sync provides the tools required for smooth, perfectly synchronised results and runs without the need for dedicated drivers, making it compatible with both Windows 10 and Mac OS systems and easy to integrate into any system thanks to its plug-and-play design.

Rugged and Portable

Obsidian has outfitted the interface with two 3-pin XLR ports for SMPTE Timecode input and output. Multiple frame rates, including 24, 25, 29.97, and 30 frames per second, are supported, and the NX Sync has even been given a stackable design that saves valuable space in production environments, while being rugged enough to withstand the rigours of life on the road. Powered via USB, the NX Sync is a potent and portable solution that enhances any system with the ability to handle both SMPTE and MTC signals — whether it's a small studio set-up or a large-scale live production rig.
