[@SachinParmar2014]

Been waiting for this for so long! Can't wait to put it to use

[@aputurelighting]

Can't wait for you to use it!

[@CinematographyDatabase]

I would like to try this magical app.

[@AnotherCameraChannel]

We’d love it if we can import a sound track/music track, which we can time all the cues to, and play it back while getting sound played via speakers/bluetooth. Would be perfect for music videos and dance covers 🤞

[@aputurelighting]

That's a great request! Love it!

[@melankolikfilms]

@@aputurelighting I second this request!

[@Shawn_X20A]

@@aputurelighting I third this request!

[@moazmi]

I fourth this request!!! That'd be a real game changer for the music video industry!!

[@WanderAndringa]

@@aputurelighting We need this!!

[@vintagelensrental5078]

Wow! So will we be able to control lights that are not Aputure brand along with sidus link? 😮😮

[@Richard_Bumblebee]

Okay so the beta is on Apple but the full release will also be out and ready for use with Android on the same day???

[@jamesgilligan9636]

All of my lights are Aputure except for one LED mat that has DMX in+out. Will I be able to plug the Sidus One into the DMX of this non-Aputure light and control it on Sidus link alongside all my Aputure fixtures?

[@alexanderdecebal-cuza3577]

Will i able yo connect lights from other brands and control them through sidus link pro using sidus one? (Brands and lights like Arri skypanel, astera, kino flo celeb, litepanels genesis, etc..)

[@kissu_io]

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. 😌

[@shadowshapers]

Which handle announced it on twitter and when was that?

[@kissu_io]

@@shadowshapers haha looks like there is a filter here, I cannot post it. Tried twice on mobile and desktop.

[@chrisvarga8082]

How does the new app handle DMX profiles for many popular lighting instruments?

[@brownbrownsmash]

Will Sidus Link Pro work with another brand's transceiver like LumenRadio's Aurora?

[@ianblackburn2645]

Does the sidus one work with other apps or just sidus link?

[@MaikelCoz]

Are you able to use cues thru bluetooth mesh with aputure 300d, amaran 200x or only with lights that are crmx built in?

[@miatatude5362]

Im pretty sure cues ranged over all lights, that’s the benefit compared to something like blackout that can only to crmx

[@peterjamus]

Hello! Will this app have microphone-listening BPM related features? Currently setting up a video/photo studio which also operates as an event venue, so we are hoping to have both DMX programmable video / photo features AND a quick and easy button to activate our DJ lighting system to turn on and shift depending on the music between scenes. I was looking into having two universes, one using Luminair and one using Maestro DMX before I saw this post, so I'll be watching development with much interest as you further refine the app! So, please consider adding some 'AI' (trending word, I know) to the app for listening to music and changing the vibe up depending on what is heard! This would definitely further expand your ecosystem to interest DJs or venues out there. Thanks, and congratulations on your beta release!

[@Whaever_1981]

Red light should have pulsed faster of course ;)

[@CARTEBLANCHE_MV]

[ FINALLY !!! Been on y'alls #sses since this was first mentioned also queried this at each NAB ( Amsterdam ) show I went to. oke oke so I'm loving this... but come on now.... sidus link pro should also be on phones. please get that done aswell... keep up the good work @APUTURE ]

[@AputureDanielC]

We don't have plans for it on the phone, the interface is too clunky on that small a screen but we're always open to feedback!

[@CARTEBLANCHE_MV]

@@AputureDanielC [ well feedback is …. MAKE IT WORK BRO 😎 . it’s 2024. Sidus link already work on iPhone so all the extra stuff should work perfectly fine. It’s Just a smaller screen , but I rather take that, then most of the other app that come with other lights. Just keeping it 💯 #LIL #More #multiplatform #app-development ]

[@BenRaddatz]

This app UI looks even more complicated than something like Blackout

[@BryanBenoitPhoto]

What do you expect the price for the Pro version once the beta ends?

[@miatatude5362]

Think it ranges from 10$-25$ for the Team pro version per Year (which is so unbelievably cheap compared to Blackout)

[@RaphaelWerner]

2:47 So if it supports ArtNet and sACN, can Sidus One be used with other Lighting Console Software like Blackout or Luminair?

[@ohellgaming]

I’m wondering the exact same thing. This would replace Ratpacks AKS

[@Danielwalters6]

Looks like it supports open standards like sACN and Artnet 👍

[@shadowshapers]

Beta tester here. Yes it can.

[@scottbenjamin8251]

On the flip side can the Pro version control a Ratpack AKS?

[@shadowshapers]

@@scottbenjamin8251 yes it can. I have used Sidus Link Pro with both a RatPac AKS+ and a RatPac Satellite. It even has the same dual channel combination that the Sidus One can do with Bluetooth and WiFi simultaneously.

[@DIAMONDdotmedia]

If I wish to simply control nanlite fixtures along with my aputure ones, do I need sidus one or only need sidus link pro?

[@Jasperi]

Just today I did a bunch of research on how to best work around not having these features for a project! It was going to cost me and be a headache. Not anymore :)

[@jwsbx]

Cool! Question for a different use case - if I have non-aputure fixtures rigged up via DMX at a venue, I could now control these lights through Sidus Link Pro, with the addition of some kind of DMX to ArtNet converter?

[@miatatude5362]

These lights need crmx control built in to connect to sidus one transmitter or you need something called a moonlight, that is plugged into dmx port and send crmx out

[@jwsbx]

@@miatatude5362 cool thank you!

[@p140mm]

OMG !!!!

[@DigitalArtVideo]

Apple only ? No Android Tablets? :(

[@AputureDanielC]

The beta is on iOS for now, but yes there will be an android version coming!

[@dannychow2568]

but can it works with aputure amaran 300c?

[@nordfilmcompany]

👌👍

[@todddammit4628]

Make a VST/AAX/AU plugin version with midi support and you'll open up an entire new market of concert lighting.

[@NathanAllenSax]

Please do this!!

[@michaelmok3646]

I dont think the app is intuitive enough with moving heads yet for concert stuff. But i can get behind midi support.

[@tim_mueller]

No lighting Tech wants to really on an IPad for a show.
