NOVA II 2x1

1,000W tunable color high fidelity panel light

SKU: AP0400040JUPC: 00850065294773

Create beautiful soft keys or rich backdrops with this panel light featuring breakthrough light fidelity and color range.

Incredibly Accurate and Natural White Light

The NOVA II 2x1 has a wide range of tunable white light with the best SSI performance to emulate tungsten, daylight, and everything in between. The BLAIR-CG light engine offers a tunable white range from 1,800-20,000K with full 100% MITC +/- Green adjustment. The Indigo emitter activates natural fluorescence for lifelike colors, and a new Deep Red emitter improves skin tone reproduction.

Colors Never Before Achieved in a Panel

The BLAIR-CG light engine in the NOVA II 2x1 covers the greatest range of saturated colors of any panel light. The expanded BLAIR-CG light engine covers more than 90% of the Rec.2020 color space. There are four blues and two reds, including Deep Red, for increased gamut and saturation. Using x,y and HSIC+ modes, dial in precise colors to match products, create backdrops, and even dial in perfect greenscreen or bluescreen keys to match your camera’s sensor.

The Brightest Light, Direct or Diffused

The NOVA II 2x1 delivers a direct 35° beam which remains bright when diffused, providing increased versatility.

The secret to this performance is a unique three-part “focus-then-blend” optical formula. First, focusing TIR lenses are placed over LED emitter clusters. Then, these clusters are kept small and packed at a high density on the panel for increased output. Lastly, these lensed emitter clusters are arranged in a complex neutralizing pattern to produce bright, even light with no visible color fringing on subjects.
