Anova Menu Operation
ANOVA’s menu can be accessed via the encoder knob on the 
backplate. Rotating the knob will toggle through the menu items, 
press the encoder knob inwards to make a selection.
Below are explanations of the menu functions.
Brightness
Brightness is displayed as 0% to 100%. The brightness setting can be controlled 
locally on the back of the ANOVA using the encoder knob. Rotating the encoder 
knob will increase the brightness in steps of 1%, however, if you press and hold the 
encoder knob then you can increase or decrease the brightness in steps of 10% (Fast 
Mode).
If you wish to control ANOVA using wired or wireless DMX then you need to go to 
the DMX menu and select the desired DMX channel for the BRI (brightness) setting. 
The ANOVA will respond to brightness commands via the set DMX-bri channel 
number if the CNTL (control) menu is set to -dmx. If the CNTL setting is -wi then 
the ANOVA will respond to brightness commands sent via the iPhone/iPad Magic 
Eye application.
ANOVA can accurately reproduce a sampled brightness setting from the Magic Eye 
App, via both -wi or -dmx
Colour Temperature
On ANOVA the colour temperature of the LEDs can be set locally using the encoder 
knob, or using -wi , or using -dmx , where the incoming signals can be sent via 
wired DMX or wirelessly using the Magic Eye app.
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 >91. 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 dierence 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).
