Product Information

Full details

The Aputure Sidus One is designed for filmmakers and lighting professionals seeking robust wireless DMX and CRMX control. Its key benefit is seamless integration of wireless DMX into complex lighting setups via the Sidus Link app, offering enhanced creative flexibility. A potential caveat is its reliance on compatible DMX-controlled fixtures for full functionality. This battery-powered transceiver acts as a wireless intermediary, supporting multiple protocols and expanding control up to four universes by linking multiple units.

FAQs

What is the primary function of the Aputure Sidus One?

The Sidus One acts as a wireless intermediary for DMX-compatible lighting fixtures, enabling control via protocols like DMX512, CRMX, Sidus BT, Art-Net, and sACN using the Sidus Link app or DMX consoles.

How many DMX universes can I control with the Sidus One?

A single Sidus One supports one universe of DMX. By linking up to four Sidus One transceivers through Sidus Link Pro, you can expand your control to up to four universes.

Can the Sidus One receive CRMX signals?

Yes, the Sidus One can function as a CRMX receiver, converting wireless CRMX data into DMX512 for non-CRMX-compatible lights.

What is the battery life of the Sidus One?

The Sidus One features a USB-C rechargeable battery with an approximate runtime of 18 hours on a full charge.

Is the Sidus One suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the Sidus One has an IP54 construction, making it weather-resistant and suitable for use in various filmmaking environments, including those with dust and splashes.

How do I connect multiple Sidus One units?

You can link multiple Sidus One units using the Sidus Link Pro app, which allows for expanded control across multiple DMX universes.

Can I use the Sidus One with non-Aputure DMX lights?

Yes, as long as the non-Aputure lights are DMX512 or CRMX compatible, the Sidus One can be used to control them wirelessly.

Troubleshooting

Device not powering on

Ensure the USB-C cable is properly connected and the power source is active. Try a different USB-C cable or power adapter. Check the battery level.

No DMX signal transmission/reception

Verify that the Sidus One is in the correct mode (transmitter or receiver). Check DMX cable connections and ensure lights are DMX-compatible. Confirm correct universe settings in the Sidus Link app.

Sidus Link app cannot find the device

Make sure Bluetooth or Wi-Fi is enabled on your control device. Ensure the Sidus One is powered on and within range. Restart both the Sidus One and your control device. Check for app updates.

Intermittent wireless connection

Move the Sidus One closer to your lights or control device. Minimize potential sources of wireless interference (e.g., other Wi-Fi networks, microwaves). Ensure antennas are properly attached and oriented.

Performance issues when controlling multiple universes

Ensure all linked Sidus One units are within optimal range. Verify that the Sidus Link Pro app is configured correctly for multi-universe control. Consider upgrading firmware if available.
