Product Description
The Aputure NOVA II 2x1 is a next-generation full-color LED panel designed to set a new benchmark for professional film, television, and broadcast lighting. Building on the legacy of the Nova P600c, the NOVA II 2x1 delivers twice the output and an even greater degree of creative control, all within a rugged, IP65-rated body engineered for the most demanding production environments.
At its core lies Aputure's advanced BLAIR-CG chipset, a seven-diode architecture that combines Blue, Lime, Amber, Indigo, Red, Cyan, and Green emitters. This design unlocks precise spectral reproduction across an extended CCT range of 1,800K-20,000K, with full ±G green-magenta adjustment that conforms to the complete ASC MITC standard. For cinematographers and gaffers, this means unparalleled ability to match ambient light sources, fine-tune white point consistency, or push bold creative contrasts with absolute confidence.
With an immense 1000W of power, the NOVA II 2x1 produces 24,700 lux at 3 meters (5600K, bare bulb), outpacing nearly every LED panel in its class. Even with diffusion applied, it maintains exceptional punch and softness, supported by industry-leading fidelity metrics: CRI/TLCI ≥95, TM-30 Rf 95/Rg 100, and SSI scores of 90 (3200K) and 86 (5600K). Its newly developed direct front-mounting accessory system broadens creative possibilities while reducing the complexity of mounting slide-in modifiers on traditional panel lights, while a removable yoke ensures maximum flexibility when rigging on stages, trusses, or location builds.
Recognizing the practical realities of production, the NOVA II 2x1 introduces a host of refinements for reliability and ease of use. Multiple dimming curves, four fan modes, and dual output modes (Max and Constant) allow the fixture to adapt seamlessly to both silent sound stages and high-intensity exteriors. For long-term durability and fleet deployment, studios and rental houses can pair the fixture with an optional custom rolling hard case, providing professional-grade protection and transport security between jobs.
Control is equally robust, with compatibility across Sidus Link® and Sidus Link Pro®, 16-bit DMX512 in/out, CRMX, and USB or DMX batch firmware upgrades. Whether operating as a single key source or integrated into complex console-controlled networks, the NOVA II 2x1 ensures fast, reliable communication in line with modern production standards.
Target Audience
For professional gaffers and lighting technicians, the NOVA II 2x1 offers exceptional brightness, color accuracy, and control in a rugged, weather-resistant body. Its modular accessory system, removable yoke, and wide range of rigging and control options make it a flexible choice for complex on-set workflows. Studios and rental houses will value the NOVA II 2x1's combination of reliability, output, and ecosystem compatibility. Its robust build, IP65 rating, and Sidus Link Pro batch firmware updating streamline fleet management and ensure dependable performance across productions. Cinematographers will find the NOVA II 2x1 an essential tool for high-end film and television projects requiring consistent, color-accurate light that can match or contrast with ambient sources. With its powerful output, expansive CCT range, and exceptional fidelity, it delivers clean, reliable illumination for the most demanding visual storytelling.
