Aputure has officially released Sidus Link Pro 2.0 after extensive beta testing. Sidus Link Pro 2.0 now includes Aputure Auto-Patching and Auto-Configuration, as well as all the features of Sidus Link for iPad, including Diagram Master, Magic Program, Magic Infinity FX, etc., all packaged into a clean, intuitive iPad interface.
The whole premise of Sidus Link Pro 2.0 is to bring console-grade lighting control power without any of the complexity.
“Our goal with Sidus Link Pro 2.0 was ‘easy power’. The app had to do the work of an advanced lighting board system, but be useful to someone who had never trained on an advanced lighting board system. Plus, we wanted to cut down the time-consuming chore of connecting to and setting up each individual light. Sidus Link Pro 2.0 is incredibly fast and easy to use, and incredibly powerful as well.”
Ted Sim, President and Co-Founder of Aputure
What’s New in Sidus Link Pro 2.0
Aputure Auto-Patching and Auto-Configuration
- Automatically add Aputure lights to Sidus Link Pro and send the configuration to the lights without the need for selecting a Profile or DMX address, saving time. Typically, setting up 30 lights for DMX control takes at least half an hour. Aputure Auto-Patching and Auto-Configuration does it all in 5 moments. The more lights you have, the more time you save.
