1. ANOVA can electronically reproduce any colour of white light from candlelight 3150 kelvin through to direct Daylight 6300 kelvin ANOVA has a remarkably even colour spectrum with a CRI colour rendering index better than gt 95 ANOVA reproduces studio accurate colour i e light whose colour temperature is within 50 kelvin of the desired setting This allows the ANOVA to be used in conjunction with other professional calibrated lighting systems with no noticeable difference in the lighting colour ANOVA can use the camera in an iPhone or iPad to measure the colour of ambient light using the calibration card via the Magic Eye App These colour settings can be stored and recalled using the application ANOVA uses a patented system of bi colour LEDs to accurately display sampled colour settings As you rotate the encoder knob of the ANOVA you will see colour increase in 10 kelvin steps from 3150k to 5100k and thereafter in twenty kelvin steps to 6300k If you need to manually enter a colour setting quickly you can press and hold the encoder knob to increase or decrease the colour temperature in steps of 100 kelvin Fast Mode Page 9 Control Mode Anova offers a range of control methods Local Control Displayed as LOCL this mode allows control via the backplate encoder knob and switch DMX Control This mode allows control via a DMX device wired through the DMX input In addition ANOVA can be set to act a2.
