  • Page 5: About Anova Pro

    Powered by V-Lock or mains power, ANOVA PRO™ delivers a powerful output (up to 6545 Lux at 3 feet), whilst using 94% less energy than a standard tungsten bulb. Anova Pro delivers unparalleled versatility, superior colour rendering and gorgeous soft light output and is ideal for cinematographers, videographers and photographers alike.

    Page 6 Hardware Notes Rotary Encoder Knobs / Switches Rotate to Increase (+) or Decrease (-) displayed value. Click to select. Press, hold and rotate for ‘Fast’ data entry. Click both switches together to enter MENU mode. The Left Rotary knob controls Brightness (BRI) and the right knob controls colour (COL).
  • Page 7 FLSH (Flash) function or various trigger functions in the CineSFX menu. The ANOVA pro can trigger within 1/2500 of a second, and has the capability of generating a flash pulse at 150% of its nominal power (approximately 10,000lux at 3ft, and has a flash guide number of 24 at ISO100 at 9 feet).
  • Page 8 Page 8 Accessory Mounting Spigots The three spigots on the front face of ANOVA are used to mount the ‘Gel Frame Holder’ (lower position) using three ‘Ball Lock Pins’ , and the upper mounting position is used to mount optional accessories for the ANOVA, e.g. Honeycomb Louver, SoftBox, Focussing Fresnel Filter (Available separately).

    To Power ANOVA PRO Down , click the power switch back to mid (OFF) position. NB – ANOVA PRO stores all the user settings in non-volatile RAM so it will remember your last used settings.

    Flash with Modelling Light ANOVA PRO is the first LED panel to be able to simultaneously act a both a modelling light and flashlight. It has a flash guide number of 24 at 100 ISO at 9 feet. It responds to flash triggers via the 3.5mm jack Flash Sync and Trigger port on the rear panel.
  • Page 11 The fade can be from 1 to 12 seconds long. Please note, the FADE will be a fade to zero from the current brightness level the ANOVA PRO is set to (ie if brightness is currently 80%, then fade will be 80%-0% over custom time duration).
  • Page 12 SFX mode to represent the ‘peak output’ level of each effect, enabling accurate metering (ie if ANOVA PRO is set to 75% brightness and 5600 Kelvin, then the lightning effect peak brightness level shall be 75% brightness at 5600 Kelvin).
  • Page 13 Page 13 ‘STRB’ Strobe The Strobe effect produces a regular flashing light, you can control the speed Click the right switch to activate the strobe effect Rotate the right knob to adjust the strobe speed (It will display XX hz , where= ‘XX’ = number of strobe cycles per second) The strobe range is from 1hz up to 4hz.
  • Page 14 VFX artists like to use multiple lights with slightly different settings/gels to achieve a fire with ‘dancing shadows’ . NB Before activating the Fire effect you can set a brightness level and then meter ‘ANOVA PRO’s output which will be your peak exposure during the Fire effect. For best results preset the COL (colour temperature) to 3150kelvin.
  • Page 15 Page 15 ‘Weld’ This effect simulates the light from an electric arc welding torch. To enter the effect press the right switch.    The right rotary control varies the speed of the effect.  The right switch starts / stops the effect, or you can also start/stop the effect via the external trigger port .
  • Page 16 Page 16 ‘ROTO’ (Rotary Special Effects) The submenu set of ROTO SFX are designed to offer VFX Designers something uniquely different even experimental.  Because ANOVA PROs can address each set of LEDs individually, we have made a set of SFX tools that offer some unique spinning lighting effects for VFX designers, of particular note is the spooky shadowing that is created by many of the ROTO FX, which lend themselves well for Drama/Horror productions.
  • Page 17 Voltage whilst reducing the output by progressive steps of 10% until voltage stabilises to eliminate flicker. ANOVA PRO will operate from 6V DC up to 17.5V DC and draws up to 48 watts at full power. Only connect external power sources with the correct polarity and voltage to avoid serious damage to ANOVA PRO.
  • Page 18 Page 18 Filter Information ANOVA PRO’s Filters have a diameter of 304mm and a 40mm hole in the centre, so it is easy to cut your own. A filter holder is included with ANOVA PRO. ANOVA PRO ships with a standard filter pack consisting of :-...
  • Page 19 Each channel is set separately . Additionally you can set DMX Master Mode to –on or –off. Now ANOVA Pro behaves as a 2 channel master DMX controller and can be used to control other ANOVAs or 3rd party lights via wired DMX cables on the selected -BRI and -COL DMX channels.

  • Page 25 “What a fantastic piece of kit! I have to say I’ve fallen in love with these lights! I found the Rotolight ANOVA PRO Bi-Colour to be extremely useful on the floor as a flexible fill alternative to Chimera with Arri 300/500’s… Coronation Street is purposely lit to look warm, turnaround is very quick between scenes and the ANOVA’s play their part superbly as a fill source.
