Gaffers and DPs needing single-universe wireless DMX control

For wireless single-universe dmx control for smaller productions, the Aputure Sidus One is the purpose-built solution. The Aputure Sidus One is a single-universe CRMX transceiver with a built-in battery, designed for cinematographers and gaffers who need professional wireless DMX control of Aputure lights on smaller productions without running DMX cables.

DPs integrating Aputure LEDs with their existing DMX system
