3D Visualizer: iPad Compatibility
The 3D Visualizer is a real-time 3D rendering environment built into Sidus Link Pro. Because it renders lighting, environments, and fixtures in real time, performance depends on your iPad's processor and memory.
The 3D Visualizer is available on Pro and MAX plans.
Recommended iPads
The following iPads deliver full 3D Visualizer performance, including complex scenes with multiple fixtures, environments, and real-time lighting output.

For the best experience, especially with large scenes, multiple fixtures, and the camera preview, we recommend an iPad with an M-series chip.
Supported with Degraded Performance
The following iPads can run the 3D Visualizer, but may experience slower rendering, longer load times, or reduced frame rates, particularly with complex scenes or large fixture counts.

If you're using one of these iPads, you can still build and preview scenes. For larger or more detailed setups, consider simplifying the environment or reducing the number of visible objects.
Tips for Better Performance
- Hide unused fixtures. Use Object Management to hide fixtures you're not actively working with. This reduces the number of objects the 3D engine needs to render.
- Simplify your environment. Smaller or less detailed environments use fewer resources.
- Close other apps. Free up memory by closing apps running in the background.
- Use Window Mode selectively. Running the 3D Visualizer alongside other views uses more resources than full-screen mode.
How to Check Your iPad Model
- Open Settings on your iPad.
- Tap General > About.
- Your model name appears next to Model Name.
