Research built in the open,
for the industry.

Onyx Labs was founded on a simple idea: that cinema technology development shouldn't be locked behind profit margins. We research, design, and publish specifications openly, and when hardware is involved, it gets built and sold at cost.

We actively seek feedback from the industry. If you work at a studio, exhibitor, or technology company and want to engage with our work, we want to hear from you.
