Christian Jackson's video: Test Driving the NX4 - Elation s Flagship Lighting Console - Full Review

The Elation NX4 is the latest and greatest console for lighting programmers to leverage the features of the powerful Onyx lighting software. In this video, I'll talk about my experiences and impressions of the console's features, strengths, and shortcomings. This console offers a huge value with its motorized faders, high-spec computer components, ultra-responsive touch screen, powerful DYLOS engine, and easy to learn interface.
