Improvements

  • Improved temperature ​detection and reporting behavior across the fixture.
  • Adjusted low temperature protection behavior to improve fixture operation and stability in cold environments.
  • Modified fan control behavior to improve stability and reduce unnecessary interruptions during normal operation.
  • Improved lighting effects logic to prevent excessive power draw while effects are running.
  • Improved high-speed photography behavior across lighting modes to ensure more consistent output during mode transitions.
  • Improved error handling behavior so minor or non-critical errors do not interrupt normal fixture operation or the boot process.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where performing a Factory Reset with Reset Sidus BT set to OFF and Reset CRMX set to ON did not correctly enable CRMX by default as expected.
  • Fixed an issue where HSI mode did not function correctly when controlled via Sidus Link Pro.
  • Fixed issues where the fixture could flash or emit light at 0 percent brig​htness during certain effects or lighting mode transitions.
  • Fixed an issue where switching lighting modes during high-speed photography could result in unintended flash behavior.
  • Fixed an issue where RDM functionality could repeatedly restart when a network cable was connected on first power-on.
  • Fixed an issue where Bluetooth link detection could fail during configuration in specific modes.
  • Fixed an issue where the DMX address could incorrectly be set to 0.
