Introducing the Aputure NOVA II 1×1

The Aputure NOVA II 1×1 is a next-generation professional LED panel designed to create stunning soft keys and rich backgrounds without compromise. Its BLAIR-CG delivers cutting-edge color fidelity and unprecedented color coverage, while a unique optical formula maintains high brightness in both direct and diffused lighting applications. Its advanced design provides weather resistance while reducing noise and weight.

General and essential features

With incredibly accurate and natural white light , the NOVA II offers a tunable white range from 1800 K to 20,000 K , with full 100% MITC ± Green adjustment . The BLAIR-CG engine incorporates an Indigo emitter to activate natural fluorescence and a new Deep Red emitter that enhances skin tone reproduction. High SSI ratings (P3200 = 90, D5600 = 86) ensure that what the eye sees matches what the camera captures.

In color, the NOVA II covers over 90% of the Rec.2020 color space thanks to its Blue/Lime/Amber/Indigo/Red/Cyan/Green emitters, with four blues and two reds (including Deep Red) for increased saturation. The x, y, and HSIC+ modes allow for ultra-precise color adjustments: product matching, backdrop creation, or greenscreen / bluescreen keying to match the camera sensor.

Optically, the NOVA II delivers a direct 35° that remains bright even when diffused. Its three-stage focus-then-blend combines TIR lenses on each emitter, high-density assembly, and a neutralization pattern to produce a powerful and homogeneous light without any visible color fringing on the subject.

Finally, its advanced structure makes it weatherproof, silent and lightweight : three normally opposing lenses combined in a single panel, ideal for studio and outdoor shooting.

Practical use cases for the Aputure NOVA II 1×1

Soft key lighting for interviews: set to 5600 K, fine-tune with ± Green to match ambient light without drift.
Saturated background for studio work: utilize Rec.2020 coverage for clean and consistent cyan/amber/indigo backgrounds on camera.
Product lighting: use x, y, or HSIC+ modes to precisely match a brand or packaging color.
Unpredictable outdoor conditions: rely on weather protection (IP65 type) while maintaining minimal noise.
Broadcast portraits: activate Deep Red for more realistic and pleasing skin tones.

Frequently Asked Questions:
