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 1,800K20,000K, 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 QuickClip 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.

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.
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 Extended 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 Extended 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.
Weatherproof, Quiet, Lightweight: Pick All Three
The advanced structural design of the NOVA II 2x1 allows it to achieve three goals normally at odds: low noise, low weight, and IP65 weather protection. The NOVA II 2x1 panel is IP65 weather protected, has fan noise below 40dB in high speed mode, and weighs 18kg including the yoke.
