Aputure Sidus Four

The Aputure Sidus Four is a four-universe CRMX/DMX transmitter with a built-in wireless router and Ethernet node that supports up to four additional wired DMX universes. The Sidus Four can transmit up to 8 DMX universes simultaneously.

Transfer any protocol
In conjunction with its powerful dual-band antennas, Sidus Four is a powerful transmitter for the most widely used lighting protocols. It can function as a CRMX/DMX transmitter and Wi-Fi or Ethernet node with sACN/Art-Net protocols.

Fast network diagnostics
With an extremely intuitive user interface, the Sidus Four screen clearly displays important network status information, allowing users to quickly diagnose network status without having to scroll through menus.

Minimal frequency interference
With frequencies for CRMX and Wi-Fi at 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz, Sidus Four minimizes the risk of network interference due to overlapping operating frequencies, significantly increasing network reliability.

Broad wired connectivity options
Sidus Four features two bidirectional Ethernet RJ45 ports with 100 Mbps bandwidths and four bidirectional DMX512 XLR ports.

Robust power options and reliability
With a built-in V-mount battery holder and an internal backup battery with 80 minutes of battery life, Sidus Four users have a wide range of power options for their equipment.

Reliable weatherproofing
Designed for professional filmmakers and lighting professionals only, the Sidus Four is built with a durable IP65-rated construction, meaning it can be used in any filmmaking environment.
