Rotolight Shines with Anova Rotolight has introduced the eco-friendly Anova LED EcoFlood, a computer-controlled, bi-color LED floodlight that delivers a 110-degree super-wide beam angle and the equivalent output of a 1K tungsten fixture while drawing only 38 watts of power. Anova can accurately reproduce any color of white light from candlelight to full daylight (3,150°K to 6,300°K). Weighing 5.7 pounds, it is highly portable and well suited for both studio and location work. The Anova is also equipped with a V-lock plate for battery operation, providing three hours of operation at 100percent output. Users can control Anova locally on the fixture, via wired DMX, or through the built-in Wi-Fi with Rotolight’s Magic Eye app on an iPhone or iPad. Magic Eye provides wireless remote control of brightness and color temperature across multiple lights, and the app can store, recall and transmit settings and transitions, enabling the replication of lighting conditions from location to studio. The Anova also offers remote control of third-party fixtures via DMX Master Mode. Additionally, using the camera in an iPhone or iPad, the Anova can see and measure both color and brightness, allowing the fixture to accurately track changing light conditions on location. Building on the quality of light, color accuracy, portability, ease of use and affordability of the company’s RL48 LED Ringlight, Rotolight LED systems deliver full-spectrum “continuous light” with studio-accurate color and a soft, wide, shadowless quality that is perfect for portraiture or interview lighting.

Litepanels Highlights Inca Series Litepanels has introduced the Inca Series tungsten-balanced LED Fresnel fixtures, which incorporate LEDs that are color-matched to the incandescent tungsten-halogen lighting fixtures used in many television stations and other facilities. The Inca Series makes it possible for a studio to change over from incandescent to LED fixtures in a staged, multi-year plan, rather than having to do so all at once. The Inca 4 (4" lens) and Inca 6 (6" lens) Fresnel fixtures are the first members of the series. The Inca 4 focuses from 13-72 degrees, and the Inca 6 focuses from 15-67 degrees. Both units provide dimming from 100 to 0 percent with no noticeable shift in color temperature. Focus and dimming can be controlled via DMX 512 protocol, or by on-fixture knobs. The Inca 4 and Inca 6 use significantly less power than conventional tungsten-halogen fixtures. The Inca 4 draws about 39 watts and provides comparable illumination to a 300-watt traditional tungsten Fresnel; the Inca 6 draws approximately 104 watts and provides comparable illumination to a 650-watt traditional tungsten Fresnel. Because Litepanels LED fixtures run cool to the touch, there is an additional savings in the power it takes to cool a studio. For additional information, visit www.litepanels.com. Canon Offers 4K Imaging Solutions Canon U.S.A., Inc. is expanding its Cinema EOS System of professional cinematography products with the introduction of the Cinema EOS C500 and Cinema EOS C500 PL cameras. The C500 features an EF mount for Canon EF lenses, and the C500 PL features a PL mount for PL lenses. Both cameras are capable of originating 4K-resolution (4096x2160) imagery with uncompressed raw output for external recording. The C500 and C500 PL cameras output their 4K-resolution video as a 10-bit uncompressed raw data stream with no deBayering. The cameras can also output quad Full HD (3840x2160), 2K (2048x1080), Full HD (1920x1080) and other resolutions. All of these digital-image-source formats fully conform to established
