Its advanced colour science ensures stunningly accurate and consistent results, making it an indispensable tool for cinematographers and gaffers seeking uncompromising quality and control.
POWER AND OUTPUT
The Nova P300c delivers a formidable 300W of soft light output, comparable to traditional 1000W tungsten fixtures, making it suitable for a wide array of lighting scenarios. It achieves a luminous intensity of over 9,000 lux at 1 meter, ensuring ample illumination even for larger sets. This impressive power is coupled with efficient thermal management, allowing for sustained performance without degradation.
COLOUR FIDELITY AND CONTROL
At the heart of the Nova P300c is its advanced RGBWW chipset, providing full control over hue, saturation, and intensity (HSI), as well as dedicated white light modes. It boasts an exceptionally high CRI and TLCI score of 95+, indicating superb colour accuracy across the entire CCT range. The wide CCT range of 2,000K to 10,000K allows for seamless integration with various ambient light sources or for creating specific mood lighting. Additionally, it offers +/- Green/Magenta adjustment, essential for matching other fixtures or correcting for unwanted colour shifts.
LIGHT QUALITY AND SOFTNESS
Designed as a soft panel light, the Nova P300c produces a beautifully even and diffused light output, eliminating harsh shadows and creating flattering illumination. Its large surface area naturally contributes to its soft quality. For further light shaping, the fixture is compatible with various optional light modifiers, including softboxes and grids, allowing precise control over light spread and intensity.
BUILD QUALITY AND DESIGN
The Nova P300c features a robust, all-metal construction that is built to withstand the rigours of professional use. Its durable housing protects the internal components, ensuring longevity and reliability on set. The integrated handle and included junior pin facilitate easy rigging and adjustment, making it a highly practical fixture for fast-paced productions.
USER INTERFACE AND CONNECTIVITY
Control over the Nova P300c is intuitive and comprehensive. It features an integrated control box with a clear OLED display and tactile adjustment knobs for immediate access to all parameters. For remote operation, the fixture supports Sidus Link App control via Bluetooth mesh technology, allowing for seamless integration into larger Aputure ecosystems. It also offers industry-standard DMX512 connectivity, ensuring compatibility with professional lighting consoles for complex lighting setups. Up to 7 user-programmable presets enable quick recall of preferred lighting configurations.
SPECIAL EFFECTS AND FEATURES
Beyond its primary lighting capabilities, the Nova P300c includes 15 built-in lighting effects, designed to simulate common on-set scenarios such as Cop Car, Lightning, Paparazzi, Fire, Faulty Bulb, TV, Pulsing, Party, Candle, Fireworks, Explosion, and Welding. These effects add a significant layer of creative potential, enhancing storytelling and production value directly from the fixture.
POWERING OPTIONS
The Nova P300c can be powered via AC power for studio applications. For on-location shooting, it offers the flexibility of optional 2-pin or 3-pin V-Mount battery plate options, enabling true portability and independence from mains power.
