Aputure Imaging Industries released the Sidus Four. This is a network device that allows DMX control of up to 8 universes in total, 4 universes for wireless CRMX and 4 universes for wired DMX, all in one device. It is the higher model of Sidus One.
Extensive and powerful connectivity options
The Aputure Sidus Four supports CRMX, DMX512, Art-Net, and sACN via Wi-Fi/Ethernet. Powerful antennas provide a wide range of wireless connection up to 800m for CRMX/Wi-Fi and 300m for Bluetooth. CRMX and Wi-Fi frequencies are 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz respectively, reducing the risk of network interference and greatly improving stability.
Unlimited Scalability
By connecting multiple Sidus Four units via Ethernet, the number of devices that can be controlled simultaneously can be expanded. In theory, there is no limit to the number of universes, making it possible to control equipment at any location.
Note that up to four Sidus One devices can be connected wirelessly, allowing control of up to four universes in total.
Improved operability and convenience
The highly visible LCD screen allows you to check the connection status, set up, and troubleshoot. In addition to AC power, it has a built-in battery that can be used for up to 80 minutes. It also has a built-in V-mount battery plate, so it can be powered by a V-mount battery, is IP65 rated, and has the features to be useful in any professional field.

Sidus Link Pro: Professional wireless control app
Sidus Link Pro is a wireless control app for professionals that is completely different from the conventional Sidus Link. By connecting a tablet device with Sidus Link Pro installed to a light that supports wireless control via Sidus One/Sidus Four, intuitive wireless control is possible from the tablet.
Lights other than Aputure products can be controlled through Sidus Link Pro as long as they are CRMX compatible. After downloading, you can use it for free as a trial version for six months. After the free period ends, it will be switched to a paid subscription.
