Sidus Four comes prepared with an IP65 dust and water resistant rating for the ultimate worry-free lighting networking experience. No matter where you are, Sidus Four is at the ready to serve as your lighting network’s anchor.

This makes Sidus Four the most durable and protected multi-universe CRMX transmitter on the market as other transmitters only have IP20 ratings.

All Day Long Power Options



As redundancies to its AC power input, Sidus Four is equipped with a V-mount battery plate and an 80-minute internal backup battery to ensure your lighting network does not go down due to power loss.

Sidus Four has the longest running backup battery in the market and is one of the only transmitters that has a built-in V-Mount battery plate.

Reliable Long-Range Signal Reach



Sidus Four includes a set of 5 dual-band antennas that service both WiFi and CRMX signals with a wireless range of 800 meters (2,625ft). With its CRMX and WIFI operating frequencies at 2.4Ghz and 5.8Ghz respectively, Sidus Four mitigates the risk of network interference due to working frequency overlap. This greatly improves the reliability of your lighting network.
