NX1 -2d view and screen resolution and Console software let downs

[Sylvain_Guiblain]

Hello,

Owning an NX1 too, coming from PC config before too, I found you really rude and unfair compare to features and price point of this console.

@powerdave

the NX1 dosent support adjusting the resolution on any of my external screens to acurettly match my on PC setup. Becuase of this my 27 inch monitor has huge clown sized buttons that make the added screen space actually a hinderance instead of an advantage.

I can only agree with you on that point NX1 - External Screen - Change zoom level - #2 by Sylvain_Guiblain, and at the moment, this is the answer I received on it:

@powerdave

The same buttons are unreadably small on the small screen with no middle ground or ability to customize.

I’ve redo my showfile, and now that’s ok, that’s only a matter of organization (The step was big coming from 24", so from 27" with maybe 4K res, that’s a bigger step).

@powerdave

most all 2d views and CITP imports are impossibly to view on either screen even with the zoom set to 0% making the touch select functions in these views usless.

This could be an improvement to request? Isn’t ?

@powerdave

the NX-1 has litterally no ability to recieve timecode with out added expense. I have to run my console in session with an OnPC setup as a secondary to use the Timecode coming out of Reaper or Resolume. And when doing that the Timecode wont display on the console.

You need the NX Sync for that purpose: NX SYNC
Or use NX-2/4 which has this integrated (not the same price range)

@powerdave

Also the ability to open up virtual playback windows is removed on the console version.

On my own usage, with NX-1 + P, it is useless, and again more with motorized fader where you have a direct reading of fader levels.

@powerdave

For software designed for a touch screen i have been hugely disappointed by moving over the console series. you can get an Nx_Touch and 2 nx_nodes for less than a quarter of the price and honestly get more functionality and customaization than the console.

NX-Touch 700€, NX-DMX 700€ (350x2), Onyx Essential Key 580€, PC 800€ = 2780€ vs 3800€ that’s not a quarter of the price. And that’s clearly not the same comfort to use when playback or busking your show. So 1000€ more is clearly justified.

@powerdave

Locking operators out of things like this is really keeping ONYX out of the viable touring hardware category. I usually just bring my M-Play and use the venues 10 year old PCs at this point because the NX1 is more of a hassle than an improvement

Maybe you’re not the right target for this product, but more NX-2/4?

@powerdave

I cant ever imagine myself purchasing one of the higher tier consoles when a shitty Lenovo laptop has more ability to run a high level show.

Did you try NX-2/4 which are target for touring? But that’s not the same price ticket at all, even if it stays really competitive compare to other lighting desks on the market.
