when i add an aputure fixture via Bluetooth, i cannot create a queue as it states no DMX support. i then i have go to the fixture and link the CRMX - a step i didn’t see in the video here and not sure if needed but only way i can get it to work. is there a tutorial that provides in depth detail on using this with Aputure fixtures like the MT Pro, Infinity Bars, etc.
At 3:04, We show linking with a CRMX transmitter. At this time, Bluetooth fixtures are savd it he quickshot and DXM fixtures are saved in the cues. We are working on ways to improve this. Also, more content will be out soon showing a much more in depth tutorial.
@@bendynice4879 yes, i did see CRMX linking, what i was looking for was not having to perform that step considering i’m using an Aputure Fixture, Connecting with Bluetooth to an Aputure App, etc. i didn’t see any mention of configuring the crmx link on the fixture to the app - not the crmx transmitter - but the app. In the end, for each fixture i have to link crmx then manually configure the DMX information and configuration - was just hoping there would exist a simpler solution given they control the stack top to bottom.
Seems like when patching a fixture with multiple pixels (Astera titan tubes). Sidus link pro will control all the pixels at once instead of assigning each pixel to a different slider. This is kind of a deal breaker and would love a fix.
Yes, you can. If you have a CRMX receiver to plug in to their 5-Pin DMX port. CRMX receivers include the RatPac Cintenna 2, the Godox TimoLink RX, the Lumenradio Moonlite, and the Cinelex Skynode.
You can connect all Aputure and Amaran devices via Bluetooth regardless of whether they have built in CRMX or not. Then with a CRMX transmitter you can connect to other devices that have built in CRMX (lumenradio) or use receivers for DMX devices like the Arri Skypanel. At the moment there are no Nanlite and Nanlux fixtures among the options, but I think it’s a matter of time. It is a beta version
Might be a dumb question, but why can't you just you the BT Sidus to do lighting cues? Rather than having to have the 'Sidus One' to enable Aputure products to work with the Sidus Pro app?
Wired > CRMX > BT is the order of operations for live productions you should be avoiding any wireless when possible. I'd also suggest using a wireless frequency coordinator so that they can monitor and minimize the chance of competing products using the same frequency. CRMX if you must use wireless during a live event and I'd still limit it as much as possible, Id avoid BT as there can be a ton of devices that can cause inteferance.
Most stage and live event lighting professionals prefer to use wired lighting controls over wireless lighting controls for show-critical cues and looks. To improve wireless production connectivity, I recommend you learn more about Radio frequency propagation, Radio frequency interference causes like rain and show, antenna polarity patterns, antenna gain, and radio frequency signal scanning to better understand methods by which you can improve your wireless connectivity in all professional environments.
@@miguelvalfre6746 … thanks. Do you know if the scenes from the SL app can be imported to SL Pro? I assume not since the Bluetooth settings would most likely still need to be reset. We have 50 ish lights and various groups to add in. Thanks again in advance.
@@markburke2414 When I downloaded sidus link pro, I logged in and had to load the amaran devices again. At the moment, the fixturtes and groups that you have in sidus link will not be loaded in the pro version. There are a few things to improve in this beta version
@@markburke2414 When I downloaded sidus link pro, I logged in and had to load the amaran fixtures again. At the moment, the fixturtes and groups that you have in sidus link will not be loaded in the pro version. Still a beta version
Still waiting for a public API to be able to skip the Sidus app altogether with a Streamdeck. Especially since announced on a tweet and still nothing. 😌
I have 12 new GODOX pixel tubes and would like to use this app with CRMX on my iPad. Will the CRMX control coming out of the software Sidus One talk to and recognise those lights. We also have a mix of Aputure Nova and 300s in the studio.
Im lost, Please try again without popping in words like Universe without explaining them. Also popping in things like a wireless router without explaining why. Is this app the same as the old app, an upgrade or a seperate product?
If you want to use this successfully, you're going to have to do a bit of learning. This is a separate product and will require a learning curve to use professionally.
@@shadowshapers Then the script should start. "Welcome to our new product 'Sidus Link Pro' you should not confuse it with our other products 'Sidus Link' or 'Sidus Link, Paid for'. This product has a learning curve before you will be ready to use it professionally" Let me explain the differences between the three products.." I dont know if you work in video but a clear script is very important.
@@sammorganmooreI do work in video. This is a different product with a learning curve. The learning curve involves understanding how DMX lighting control works. Now you know. What words were you unfamiliar with that I can help to explain for you?

For bluetooth you’ll use quickshots instead of the cue, it’s pretty quick and easy

can you set up sidus-link-compatible but no CRMX (eg. LS600D non pro )and artnet CRMX lights (eg. Pavoslim panels? )

Any tips on better live production connectivity. We find wireless connection is not reliable for live events.

is there a limit of cues?
Will my current Sidus Link settings transfer to Pro or are they separate apps? I don’t want to lose all of my current scenes.
There is sidus link and sidus link pro. They are two separate apps

Based on what I've seen on YT, it will. But it all depends what is implemented in the tubes. If device has all it functions mapped to DMX then yes.
Any idea what will be the prices of Sidus Pro? Is that one time payment or monthly subscription?
Tôi khong thể dùng sidus link pro
Brilliant 👍
Is it possible to use 3rd party tranmitters? Using a Ratpac Satellite and familiar with Luminair 4. Trying to connect vortex4 via crmx
Yes it is. You will have to make sure that your third party transmitter has the same Art-Net or sACN protocols as the Sidus Link Pro app.
@@shadowshapers I tried this the other day. But my Ratpac Satellite wasn’t shown in the “wireless transmitter” tab, only in Bluetooth.
@@BotakTV ...Iiiiinnnnnteresting. I wonder why that is. Comment back to me tomorrow and I'll try to see what my RatPac Satellite does.
Does the astera box work with it?
@@catcusick4812If you hardwire the Astera box to the Sidus one then it will with the right settings. Your mileage may vary.
So complicated

If the initial explanation is abit confusing you have to do your own research. This is aimed at people who have some experience with dmx .
