Performance & Output
The NOVA II 1x1 delivers smooth, stepless dimming from 0.1 to 100% with linear, exponential, logarithmic, and S-shaped curves. The 16 x 15.4" LED panel maintains bright, even illumination even with the included flat diffuser. Multiple output modes allow both maximum and constant brightness settings for versatile lighting setups.
Color Accuracy
Industry-leading fidelity ensures accurate color reproduction for critical applications. Ratings include CRI 95, TLCI 95, TM-30 Rf 95, Rg 100, CQS 96, SSI (P3200) 90, and SSI (CIE D5600) 86. Advanced white point control with +/-G adjustment conforms to the ASC MITC standard.
BLAIR-CG Chipset
The seven-diode BLAIR-CG chipset combines blue, lime, amber, indigo, red, cyan, and green emitters, providing a wide color range and consistent, color-accurate light for professional film and broadcast environments.
Control & Firmware
Control options include intuitive onboard interface, Sidus Link app, DMX512, LumenRadio CRMX, and Art-Net/sACN. Batch firmware updates are supported via USB, Sidus Link, or DMX, ensuring reliable performance across multiple units.
Design & Handling
The compact, rugged design makes the panel suitable for indoor and exterior shoots. The removable yoke simplifies rigging, and the QuickClip front-mount system allows fast installation of light modifiers. Lamp head weight: 9.5 kg without yoke, 11.3 kg with yoke.
