Sidus Link Pro - Sidus Four

Aputure's multi-universe wireless DMX transmitter. 4 universes, 4 CRMX outputs and Art-Net / sACN in. MAX plan unlocks all four.

Overview

Sidus Four is Aputure's multi-universe wireless DMX transmitter. It is the hardware behind MAX-plan control: four universes of DMX, four CRMX outputs, and Art-Net / sACN input from a console or playback system. Sidus Four lets Sidus Link Pro drive stage-scale rigs from a single iPad.

If you have a single-universe rig, use Sidus One instead. For a side-by-side, see Sidus One vs. Sidus Four.

What's in the Box

  • Sidus Four transmitter

  • AC power cable (locking IEC)

  • 3/8" to Baby Pin Adapter

  • 4 x Male to Male 5-pin DMX Adapter

  • Quick-start guide

Hardware

  • 4 x 5-pin DMX out - One wired DMX output per universe.

  • 4 x CRMX TX - Four independent wireless DMX outputs for CRMX-capable fixtures.

  • Art-Net / sACN in via Ethernet - Input console or playback data and rebroadcast wirelessly.

  • Wi-Fi - Connects to your iPad over the same AP / STA modes as Sidus One.

  • Display + encoder - On-device status, network mode and universe routing.

  • Locking AC inlet - Studio and venue power.

     

Network Modes

Sidus Four supports the same two iPad-link modes as Sidus One:

  • AP Mode - Sidus Four broadcasts its own Wi-Fi network. Quick setup, no router needed.

  • STA Mode - Sidus Four joins an existing studio or venue Wi-Fi network.

For larger venues with house Wi-Fi or Ethernet backbones, STA mode is the way. See Network Requirements and Wi-Fi Setup.

Capabilities

  • 4 DMX universes (2,048 addresses)

  • 4 wired DMX outputs / inputs

  • 4 wireless CRMX TX

  • Art-Net / sACN in - Bridge a lighting console wirelessly

  • Bluetooth Master Node - Extends a Sidus BT mesh

  • Pro plan - 1 universe of the 4 active

  • MAX plan - All 4 universes active

The number of active universes is gated by your Sidus Link Pro plan, not the hardware. A Sidus Four on the Pro plan still outputs 1 universe; upgrade to MAX to unlock all four.

When to Use Sidus Four

  • Stage, concert or live event rigs that exceed 512 addresses.

  • Studio installs where you want a permanent transmitter.

  • You need to bridge a lighting console wirelessly via Art-Net or sACN.

  • You need to send multiple universes of CRMX wirelessly.

Setting Up Sidus Four

  1. Place Sidus Four near your fixtures.

  2. Plug in AC power.

  3. Pick a network mode on the front panel (AP or STA).

  4. Connect your iPad to the Sidus Four Wi-Fi.

  5. Patch your fixtures across the active universes. See Getting Started with DMX Control.
