Sidus Link Bridge for Aputure fixtures
The Sidus Link® Bridge is a 2.4GHz RF/Bluetooth intermediary wireless transceiver that allows users to connect their legacy 2.4GHz Aputure lighting fixtures with the Sidus Link® mobile app. The Sidus Link® mobile app is one of the latest innovations in the Aputure ecosystem, allowing you to control devices such as the LS C300d II and Aputure MC, the first two fixtures to be released with Sidus Mesh™ compatibility, from your smartphone or iPad. The Sidus Mesh Network and Sidus Link App also allow compatible Aputure lights to gain access to new features, such as advanced FX control, and groundbreaking functions like the Color Picker or Source Match tools.
Connecting Two Worlds
With the introduction of the Sidus Link Bridge, owners of Aputure fixtures that could previously only be wirelessly controlled using the included 2.4GHz wireless remote can now control them using the Sidus Link app via the Sidus Link Bridge. The Sidus Link Bridge uses two-way Bluetooth communication to connect to a user’s mobile device and other Sidus Mesh fixtures. It then transmits commands to legacy lights via the Wireless RF Protocol. Not only does this allow users to control their fixtures from their phones, but it also unlocks 9 built-in Sidus Link lighting effects, as well as access to the SidusPro™ FX feature set.
Building on a Strong Foundation
The Sidus Link Bridge works seamlessly with the Sidus Link mobile app to instill new creative possibilities into legacy 2.4GHz Aputure lights. The Aputure 2.4GHz handheld remote was known for its simplicity, speed, and ease of use. Using the same wireless protocol as the compact remote, Sidus Link Bridge can send signals to up to 3 channels (1/2/3) and 4 groups (A/B/C/D), allowing you to control up to 12 different sets of lights from your phone. As long as the lights can receive the signal from the Bridge, each of those groups can contain multiple devices, allowing you to control an incredible number of fixtures.
Incredible Connectivity Range
Utilizing the same 2.4GHz RF protocol found in Aputure light fixtures to adjust their settings, the Sidus Link Bridge can control these lights from up to 100 meters away. On top of that, the Bridge utilizes Sidus Mesh Bluetooth technology, allowing it to communicate with your smartphone or iPad up to 80 meters away. In addition to connecting to your smartphone, the Bridge can also interact with any other active Sidus Mesh devices, with each device strengthening the integrity of the network, and extending the maximum Bluetooth connectivity range to up to 400 meters. The Bridge also incorporates a ¼-20” screw thread allowing you to mount the transceiver on a stand for optimal connectivity and wireless range.
Built-in Effects & SidusPro™ FX
The combination of Sidus Link and Sidus Link Bridge doesn’t merely allow you to adjust brightness and color temperature from your smartphone. Sidus Link Bridge rejuvenates the creative possibilities of legacy 2.4G Aputure lights by allowing you to not only use 9 built-in lighting FX, but also use the SidusPro™ FX “Picker FX” function to scan and save up to four custom effects.
Incomparable Build Quality
Featuring an IP65 dustproof & waterproof design, a 100m RF range & 80m Bluetooth range, over 18 hours of battery life that can quickly be replenished via hyper-fast USB-C PD charging, and an LED indicator that automatically adjusts its brightness according to its surroundings, the Sidus Link Bridge is a tool that is built for any filmmaking environment.
