[Sidus Link Mobile] Quickshots and Console
Quickshots: Instant Lighting States
The Moment
You're on set with Bluetooth fixtures. You need to snap them to a specific state—right now. No fading. No sequencing. Just fire and go.
That's what Quickshots do.
What are Quickshots?
Quickshots are one-shot Bluetooth commands inside the Sidus Link Mobile app. Each Quickshot fires a single, discrete lighting state to a fixture or group. Think of them as the Bluetooth-side equivalent of cues: a saved state you trigger instantly.
What is the Console?
The Console is the Mobile app's tactile control surface for triggering Quickshots and managing live lighting changes from a single screen. Each button in the Console can be mapped to a different Quickshot, group, or fixture command.
Quickshots vs. Cues
Quickshots and cues are not interchangeable:
Quickshots fire a single state over Bluetooth. Fast, lightweight, no DMX required.
Cues are continuous-frame DMX states with playback, fade, and sequencing. Cues require [Sidus Link Pro] plus DMX hardware (Sidus One or Sidus Four).
Creating a Quickshot
- Adjust your Bluetooth light's parameters to the state you want to save.
- Open the Console and tap an empty button slot.
- Save as Quickshot and name it.
Firing a Quickshot
Tap the saved button in the Console. The mapped fixtures snap to the saved state immediately.
Looking for the Sidus Link Pro Equivalent?
[Sidus Link Pro] V2.4 ships Quickshots in the Action Panel, with the same one-shot behavior plus tighter integration into the Cue Master path. Record a Quickshot, use it in a cue, move that cue to Action Panel. Professional execution with free Bluetooth control. See Understanding the App Interface.
