[Sidus Link Mobile] Modes and Functions

Modes and Functions of Sidus Link Mobile

Sidus Link® provides four main modes in the Lighting Control System:

White Mode, Gel Mode, Color Mode and Effect Mode.

Tap any connected fixture in the fixture list to enter the Lighting Control System.

The Lighting Control System interface is divided into three parts:

  • The top part: Control Modes
  • The middle part: Control Mode Specific Functions
  • The bottom part: Parameter Adjustment Settings 

1. White Mode

White Mode includes CCT, Sourcetype and Sourcematch functions. In White Mode, users can quickly set the fixtures Color Temperature, G/M, Intensity and Dimming Curve.
