FAQ

Can I feed DMX from a console into Sidus Four and send it wirelessly?

Yes. Sidus Four has four 5-pin XLR DMX ports that work in both directions. Fit this adapter to a port so a standard DMX cable from the console plugs in as an input.

Could I plug four transmitters into the four DMX ports for eight universes?

Sidus Four already sends four CRMX universes and handles four wired DMX universes, so it can run eight at once. Each wired port needs the correct gender, which is what this adapter provides.

Does this adapter work with 3-pin DMX lights?

No. It is 5-pin XLR on both ends. A 3-pin DMX fixture needs a 5-pin to 3-pin DMX adapter or cable.

Where do the wired DMX runs go on a Sidus system?

On Sidus Four they land on the four 5-pin XLR ports, which send or receive DMX. Ethernet runs go to the two RJ45 ports for Art-Net and sACN.
