Aputure: Enhanced Lighting Control System

These innovations build upon the existing Sidus Link and Sidus Bridge frameworks to offer a unified, professional lighting control system. This system is not only comprehensive but also compatible with any DMX-enabled lighting fixture, making it a versatile solution for various lighting needs.

Comprehensive Lighting Control with Sidus Link Pro and Sidus One

The Sidus Link Pro app and Sidus One device provide a user-friendly and robust experience for controlling lighting setups. Sidus Link Pro features an icon-driven graphical user interface (GUI), which allows for easy understanding and operation, even when wearing gloves, thanks to its large, clearly labeled buttons.

Features of Sidus Link Pro

Sidus Link Pro, a professional wireless lighting control app developed by Aputure, supports synchronous cueing of DMX-controlled fixtures and includes all Aputure Sidus Mesh lights. It offers precise control over light intensity, color temperature, hue, and saturation, and allows these settings to be recorded into individual cues. The app ensures stable and low-latency control by transmitting sACN or Art-Net signals over WiFi to DMX nodes, which then relay DMX or wireless CRMX signals to the fixtures.

Expanding Control Capabilities

The system can connect to a wide range of DMX light fixtures from various manufacturers, supporting up to four lighting universes via sACN Multicast or Art-Net Broadcast. This is achievable through the integration of up to four Sidus One units.

Enhanced User Interface and Usability

Sidus Link Pro is designed for speed and efficiency, eschewing the traditional Command Line Interface for a more intuitive graphical user interface. This setup allows for quick fixture additions and adjustments through features like Auto Set Up and Fixture Control, minimizing the need for manual input and adjustments.

Library and Cloud Integration

Aputure has also developed a growing DMX profile library to facilitate quick setups. This library includes all Aputure fixtures and a selection of industry-standard products. Additionally, the Sidus Cloud Service offers secure storage for project details, fixture configurations, and scene presets, which can be shared among users via AirDrop, iCloud, or QR code.

Sidus One at a Glance

The Sidus One is a battery-powered transceiver that supports a single universe of DMX/CRMX control and is compatible with a variety of protocols including CRMX, DMX512, RDM, Art-Net, and sACN, all accessible via Wi-Fi or Sidus Link Bluetooth. It can be linked with up to three other Sidus One units to control up to four universes. The device boasts an 18-hour battery life, USB-C charging, and is IP54 rated for dust and water resistance.
