FAQ

My transmitter lives on a cart that moves all day. Does the Sidus Four power connector lock?

Yes. This adapter's 5.5 mm barrel connector locks into the Sidus Four DC jack, on a 3 m cable. For a moving cart, Sidus Four also has a built-in V-mount plate (12-16.8V) and about 80 minutes of internal backup battery.

What wired inputs does Sidus Four have?

Power: a 5.5/2.5 mm DC barrel jack that accepts 9-24V, plus a V-mount battery plate. Data: four bidirectional 5-pin DMX ports and two RJ45 Ethernet ports for Art-Net and sACN.

Can I run Sidus Four from a V-mount battery without wiring a mod?

Yes. The battery plate is built into Sidus Four and accepts 12-16.8V, so no adapter cable is needed.

What does Sidus Four add over a single-universe transmitter?

Sidus Four sends four wireless CRMX universes and handles four wired DMX universes, with 5.8GHz Wi-Fi and Ethernet for Art-Net and sACN, and up to 800 m CRMX range.
