Whether you're managing lights on a film set, in a studio, or during live events, this update improves connectivity, and unlocks new tools for more confident control in complex environments.

Wi-Fi Channel Selection in Settings

Sidus 4 now allows you to manually set the Wi-Fi channel, improving network stability by choosing the optimal channel for your setup. This flexibility enhances your control over the Wi-Fi environment on set.

2.4 GHz CRMX Channel Blocking

The ability to block specific 2.4 GHz channels for CRMX transmission allows you to avoid interference from devices like Follow Focus systems. This feature offers up to 10 channels to block, ensuring stable CRMX communication.

Enable/Disable Click for Ports E-H

Ports E–H can be individually enabled or disabled. The Port will be red if the port is enabled but not receiving any DMX data. Previously, the wired DMX ports would not alert if data was not found. Click on the Port to turn the port On/Off.

Link Button Optimization

The system has been optimized for quicker linking in the Output menu. Once you're in the menu and have selected the universe, Sidus Four already selects the Link Button. Simply press Enter to link, making the process faster and more efficient.

DMX INPUT User Interface Update

When using the included 5-Pin DMX adapters to configure Ports E–H as DMX inputs, the interface provides clear visual feedback.
In this example, Port H is set as a DMX input and is actively routing its signal to the DMX transmitter connected to Port D.

Output Power Adjustment in Output Menu

CRMX output power control allows you to adjust the transmitter's power levels, giving you greater control over the signal strength of your CRMX transmissions. This feature helps you fine-tune your setup for optimal performance.

New Reboot Power Option

When selecting Power Off from the Main Menu, a new Reboot option is available. This allows users to restart the system for network resets without needing to physically unplug and reconnect the device.

New Default Linking Keys

The first four digits will all be unique to your Sidus Four, the second four digits will reflect Universe 1-4. XXXX0001, XXXX0002, XXXX0003, XXXX0004
