The new Aputure app is a smarter and faster way to control your lighting
Aputure has unveiled Sidus Link Pro 2.0, a powerful upgrade to its professional lighting control platform, now optimised for iPad. Designed to deliver console-level performance without the complexity, the new version introduces time-saving features and an intuitive interface aimed at film, TV and live production professionals.
At the heart of the update is Aputure Auto-Patching and Auto-Configuration, a major innovation that slashes setup time by automatically adding and configuring Aputure lights – no manual DMX addressing or profile selection needed. A typical 30-light DMX setup can now be completed in moments.
Additional updates include precise 0.1% dimming, advanced pixel-level control and expanded real-time feedback through Sidus Four integration. Users can now monitor port connectivity, receive power loss notifications, and manage both Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections remotely.
A new Sidus BT View Mode supports Bluetooth-only workflows, providing full fixture control while isolating cues to avoid interference in CRMX setups.
Sidus Link Pro 2.0 also introduces a tiered subscription system:
- Pro Plan: One DMX/CRMX universe, Cue Sequencing, Diagram Master, Magic FX tools.
- Max Plan: Four universes and expanded cue control.
Many core features – like Auto-Patching and firmware updates – remain free.
Built for speed, Sidus Link Pro 2.0 ensures all fixtures respond simultaneously, eliminating Bluetooth lag. It supports sACN and Art-Net, integrates with Sidus hardware, and works with any DMX or CRMX-compatible fixture, simplifying control across mixed-brand setups.
With powerful cue editing, drag-and-drop sequencing, and intuitive design, Sidus Link Pro 2.0 is a complete lighting control solution – now faster, smarter, and more connected. More details aputure.com.
