Sidus Link Pro 2.2 Introduces Layout View
Layout View is a new visual control mode in Sidus Link Pro that lets users arrange their fixtures in a grid matching their physical set. Rather than scrolling through a list and trying to remember which fixture is which, you can place lights based on where they actually live on set and access them visually.
Layout View was designed to speed up control, reduce selection errors, and give users more confident operation by making the right fixture easier to find and control.
This feature builds on Sidus Link Pro’s already powerful control engine by adding spatial context and enhancing cueing workflows. In Pro and MAX, Layout View expands to support realtime visual preview during cue playback and pixel control directly in layout, making it easier to see and manage what is happening across your rig in real time.
