Aputure AP0400040J NOVA II 2x1 RGB LED Light Panel
Aputure has elevated its lighting technology with the introduction of the NOVA II 2x1 RGB LED Light Panel, surpassing the output of the original Nova P600c. Designed for demanding on-set workflows, this fixture is powered by the advanced BLAIR-CG chipset, making it a versatile full-color LED solution for film, broadcast, and television productions. With 1000W of output, the NOVA II 2x1 employs LEDs rated highly in CRI, TLCI, TM-30, SSI, and CQS, ensuring exceptional accuracy across a wide color range of 1800K to 20,000K. Creative flexibility is further enhanced with plus/minus green adjustments for precision color control.
The panel also features extensive control options, including onboard menus, mobile app access, 16-bit DMX512 in/out, LumenRadio CRMX, Art-Net/sACN, and USB or DMX firmware updates. Users benefit from multiple dimming curves, four fan modes, and dual output settings (max and constant). Aputure’s new direct front-mount accessory system simplifies modifier use, while the rugged IP65-rated body ensures durability on demanding sets. Each unit comes with a removable yoke, flat diffuser, and a 19.6-foot AC power cable.
Impressive Output
Delivering 219,060 lux at 3.3 feet and 5600K, the NOVA II 2x1 offers a 35° native beam angle and stepless dimming from 0.1% to 100%. Four dimming curves—linear, exponential, logarithmic, and S-shaped—provide precise control. The 27.2 x 15.3" panel is actively fan cooled with four DMX-controllable fan modes: smart, high, medium, and silent.
Impressive Color Accuracy
With industry-leading fidelity, the fixture delivers CRI 95, TLCI 95, TM-30 Rf 95, and Rg 100. Additional ratings include CQS 96 and SSI 89 (P3200). Users can fine-tune white points with ±G correction, ensuring compliance with ASC MITC standards and accurate reproduction for color-critical shoots.
BLAIR-CG Chipset
At its core, the BLAIR-CG chipset combines seven diodes—blue, lime, amber, indigo, red, cyan, and green. This architecture provides expansive CCT control, robust output, and precise color accuracy, making the NOVA II 2x1 ideal for consistent, high-quality illumination in professional environments. It enables users to replicate natural sources, balance white points, or experiment with bold creative contrasts.
Batch Firmware Updates
Firmware updates are streamlined through Sidus Link Pro, Sidus Link, USB, or DMX. Rental houses and studios will appreciate the fixture’s IP65-rated durability, high performance, and compatibility with large lighting ecosystems. Whether used as a single key light or integrated into console-driven systems, the NOVA II 2x1 ensures seamless, reliable operation.
Durable & Convenient Design
Despite its compact footprint, the NOVA II 2x1 delivers powerful output. The redesigned front-mount accessory system speeds up workflows, while the removable yoke simplifies rigging. Weighing only 41 lb (with yoke), this 1000W panel balances durability with ease of use, offering both rigging flexibility and advanced control.
