What Is Sidus Link Pro?
Easy, Powerful Console-Style Control
Sidus Link Pro puts all the power of a modern lighting console onto your iPad, without the complexity, menu-diving, or manual-reading.

Lighting Without Delays
Sidus Link Pro ensures all of your DMX-enabled lights will receive commands at the same time. That means crisp, responsive cues and no Bluetooth delay.
