With the addition of Aputure Auto-Patching and Auto-Configuration, Sidus Link Pro 2.0 is officially out of beta and ready for prime time, and now includes all the features of Sidus Link for iPad – Diagram Master, Magic Program, Magic Infinity FX, and more – all packed into a clean, intuitive iPad interface. The release release of Sidus Link Pro 2.0, represents, according to Aputure, “the next evolution in professional lighting control for film, television, and live production.”
Easy, powerful lighting control is now more accessible than ever. Sidus Link Pro 2.0 brings console-grade lighting control power without the complexity. With this release, lighting control becomes faster, smarter, and more connected than ever before.
“Our goal with Sidus Link Pro 2.0 was ‘easy power,’” explained Ted Sim, President and Co-Founder of Aputure. “The app had to do the work of an advanced lighting board system, but be useful to someone who had never trained on an advanced lighting board system. Plus, we wanted to cut down the time-consuming chore of connecting to and setting up each individual light. Sidus Link Pro 2.0 is incredibly fast and easy to use, and incredibly powerful as well.”
NEW: Aputure Auto-Patching and Auto-Configuration
Automatically add Aputure lights to Sidus Link Pro and send the configuration to the lights without the need for selecting a Profile or DMX address, saving time. Typically, setting up 30 lights for DMX control takes at least half an hour. Aputure Auto-Patching and Auto-Configuration does it all in 5 moments. The more lights you have, the more time you save.
