Aputure announces Sidus One & Sidus Link Pro

The Sidus Link app has been an excellent tool for controlling Aputure and amaran lights. Now, Aputure has upgraded its abilities. Expanding upon the foundation of Sidus Link and Sidus Bridge, the new Sidus Link Pro and Sidus One create a complete professional lighting control system that is fully integrated, simple to use, powerful, and connected to any DMX light. The new Sidus Link Ecosystem can be one system for total lighting integration.

The Sidus Ecosystem can expand by linking up to four Sidus Ones, creating four lighting universes with Sidus Link Pro.
Both the Sidus Link Pro and Sidus One offer user-friendly, reliable functionality with the Sidus Link Pro’s icon-driven GUI, it’s easily understood with a quick glance or the clearly labeled buttons that can be pressed with your gloves still on.

Sidus Link Pro

Sidus Link Pro is a professional wireless lighting control App from Aputure that provides synchronous cueing of any DMX-controlled fixtures with support for all Aputure Sidus Mesh lights. Control your light’s intensity, color temperature, hue, and saturation and record them into individual cues. Sidus Link Pro ensures low-latency, stable control by sending sACN or Art-Net over WiFi to DMX nodes that send wired DMX or wireless CRMX to your fixtures. Based on Sidus Link’s easy-to-use graphical Interface, Sidus Link Pro makes lighting control fast and efficient.

Control all fixtures made by Aputure and any DMX Enabled fixture. With Sidus Link Pro, you can centralize control over your lighting fixture network using a single app by communicating over DMX, Art-Net, sACN, CRMX, RDM and Sidus Mesh®.

Connect to hundreds of DMX light fixtures from different manufacturers, with different protocols, control up to 4 Universes over sACN Multicast or Art-Net Broadcast, simultaneously from your iPad.

Instant DMX Cue-Based Control

Control all your lights and trigger sophisticated lighting sequences with real-time DMX cueing. Sidus Link Pro enables you to execute multiple cues independently, or simultaneously, using its intuitive cue stack interface.

Console Control with an Elevated UI. Speed is everything on set and Sidus Link Pro is built to be speedy.

Instead of a cumbersome and outdated Command Line Interface, Sidus Link Pro utilizes the intuitive Sidus Link Graphical User Interface for easy operation. Quickly add fixtures and adjust them with features like Auto Set Up and Fixture Control, instead of manually inputting and adjusting channel values. With minimal screen taps, all of your most used functions and features are accessible and easy to find.

Growing DMX Profile Library. Set up your project quickly by choosing from a growing DMX profile library, including all Aputure lighting fixtures, and a growing list of industry-standard products.

Cloud Service. Save your most important project and fixture data with the Sidus Cloud Service, such as projects, fixture configuration information, fixture parameters, scene presets, and quickshot.

Collaborate more efficiently by sharing the projects you’ve built, complete with all the DMX configuration, with other Sidus Link Pro users via AirDrop, iCloud or even a QR code.
