Aputure sister company amaran has released the amaran app, a new mobile and desktop app for wireless lighting control.
The new amaran app provides wireless lighting control for creators on the move via any iOS, Android or HarmonyOS device, or those back in the studio via MacOS or Windows, as well as what is promised to be seamless Stream Deck integration.
The app offers intuitive control over all amaran and Aputure devices and is taking some quite high-end tech and repurposing it for the company's more typical entry level market.
“The amaran app is the first lighting app designed specifically with creators in mind. It brings all of the power that made Sidus Link so popular in Hollywood, but makes it easy for anyone to use,” reckons Ted Sim, Co-Founder, amaran.
Powered by the same Sidus Mesh technology used on Sidus Link, the free app's features include:
Real-time control of any creative environment: Toggle lights on and off, adjust the brightness, change color temperature, or quickly identify the status of each light — see what color they're set to or if they're displaying an effect — all straight from the device menu.
Friendlier controls powered by the Sidus Mesh ecosystem: Users can seamlessly port over all existing lights from Sidus Link into the new amaran app and feel right at home with its familiar stability. With a simplified interface that’s easier to navigate, the same lighting setup is now more efficient than ever.
Desktop and Stream Deck controls transform the workspace: The amaran app brings powerful lighting control to desktop setups, allowing creators to tailor controls to their unique workflow and workspace without disrupting their existing creative flow. Gamers and streamers who are streaming nonstop content can enhance the appearance of and add visual effects to their streams thanks to amaran app’s integration with Stream Deck.
Save looks, create customizable shortcuts: Creators can easily save a look created in the amaran app and recall it instantly, and even modify further in future set-ups. Enabling even more efficiency, users can create customizable shortcuts for quick adjustments, ensuring workflows remain smooth and creativity uninterrupted.
The amaran app is available today as a free download from the usual app marketplaces (mobile version) or directly from the amaran website (desktop version).
