Elation ends its LightJockey lighting control software

LightJockey by Elation Professional, one of the oldest lighting control software on the market, will no longer be marketed, although it will continue to be active through the Onyx platform of Obsidian Control Systems.

After more than two decades of service and with tens of thousands of systems that use it in the market, Elation Professional has decided to withdraw its lighting control software from the market LightJockey, “because continuous security changes in windows prevent it from working reliably”, notes the company's statement.

specifically, the decision not to continue the evolution of this lighting control software has been made following the launch of Windows 11 in October, Even though “the transition to a new, modern software solution is easy”.

The hardware DMX USB of LightJockey is recognized by Onyx, the lighting control platform of Obsidian Control Systems, brand that sells exclusively Elation Professional in the world.

Drivers plug and play unlock any of the devices to the license Onyx Nova, offering four universes of DMX support, Art-Net and sACN. Users simply have to download Onyx, connect the adapter LightJockey DMX and enjoy the creative possibilities offered by this easy-to-use system.

In addition, Obsidian Control Systems has made available in this link a series of online training videos to help professionals easily learn and convert their LightJockey systems to Onyx.
