Thank you for selecting EVO LED panel from VELVET. The EVO is a
compact, portable, silent, maintenance-free and high-quality color tunable
LED soft light. It is much more efficient than a traditional soft light and is
the LED soft light efficiency market leader with 4.1 Lux per watt.
The
The EVO panels emit variable colored light with adjustable color
temperature and adjustable green/magenta correction. Every EVO model
can be controlled using DMX-RDM protocol, Art-Net through LumenRadio
wireless, Wi-fi Art-Net or locally with shock-resistant buttons and color
display.
EVO
EVO full color spectrum light is produced by the exclusive technology
developed by VELVET for professional photography, cinematography and
television industry use. It brings the most advanced color technology in an
LED lighting panel. The combination of 5 LED (R+G+B+W+CW) extend
the color possibilities over traditional RGBW technology, producing a much
wider color gamut, a more natural white light and richer, saturated colors.
The EVO 5LED technology offers higher degree of color control:
Any base white light color temperature can be set to apply any
color or gel.
Settings on one mode can be fine-tuned in any other.
The EVO runs completely silently, with no fans to service, it does not emit
any infrared or UV radiation therefore does not forward heat, making
actors feel comfortable into its light beam.
The
The VELVET EVO leads the industry in electronic and optic efficiency. This
has real on-set advantages, and a whole cascade of benefits:
More running time off standard 14.4V Vlock or Gold Mount
batteries
100% fan-free and silent operation (no maintenance required)
Full output from both AC and DC power
EVO
EVO can be fully, quickly and easily controlled in any possible way, locally
or wirelessly, or from your smartphone with VELVET App.
