The Aputure Nova P600c is a high-power RGBWW LED lighting fixture designed for professional film and television production. It offers a versatile and efficient lighting solution, capable of meeting the demanding illumination requirements of studio environments while ensuring accurate color rendition.
Function Description
The Nova P600c is primarily a high-power RGBWW light, meaning it can produce a wide spectrum of colors, including white light with adjustable color temperature (CCT) and green-magenta shift. Its high output is suitable for various studio lighting scenarios, and its high Color Rendering Index (CRI) ensures that skin tones and other colors are reproduced accurately. The fixture supports multiple control protocols, offering flexibility in integration with existing lighting setups.
Usage Features
