About Aputure Sidus Four

Be prepared to revolutionize your lighting network with the Sidus Four 4-Universe CRMX Transmitter, featuring a built-in wireless router and Ethernet node. This advanced device supports up to four CRMX universes and four wired DMX universes, allowing you to transmit up to eight DMX universes simultaneously. With its extensive networking protocol options, including CRMX, DMX, Art-Net, sACN over EtherCon, and Sidus Bluetooth, the Sidus Four ensures seamless integration into any lighting setup.

Experience limitless network expansion by linking multiple Sidus Four units via Ethernet, providing virtually unlimited control over the number of universes. Whether you're orchestrating a small production or managing a large-scale event, the Sidus Four adapts effortlessly to your growing needs, expanding from four universes to eight, sixteen, or beyond.

Stay informed with the Sidus Four's large, clear, color-coded TFT display, which offers instant updates on your entire lighting network's status. This intuitive interface simplifies system setup and troubleshooting, while the TFT panel technology eliminates concerns about panel burn-in, a common issue with OLED and LCD displays.

Designed for any environment, the Sidus Four boasts an IP65 dust and water resistance rating, making it the most durable and protected multi-universe CRMX transmitter on the market. Unlike other transmitters with only IP20 ratings, the Sidus Four is ready to anchor your lighting network in any weather condition.

In addition to its AC power input, it features a V-mount battery plate and an 80-minute internal backup battery, ensuring uninterrupted operation even during power outages. This transmitter offers the longest-running backup battery available and is among the few with a built-in V-Mount battery plate.

Achieve reliable long-range signal reach with the Sidus Four's set of five dual-band antennas, servicing both Wi-Fi and CRMX signals with an impressive wireless range of 800 meters (2,625 feet). Operating on CRMX and Wi-Fi frequencies of 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz, respectively, the Sidus Four minimizes network interference, enhancing the reliability of your lighting network.
