Page 4 1 About Anova Thankyou for purchasing Rotolight ANOVA, the world’s most advanced LED Floodlight. Rotolight have developed the AlphaNova series of Professional LED Ringlights to utilise a new WiFi technology, which allows iPhone or iPad to control the light’s brightness and colour temperature, using the Magic Eye (Pat Pending) application. For the first time this unique technology allows the AlphaNova lights to ‘see’ and measure colour and brightness.
Page 5 3 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.
Page 6 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.
Page 7 WiFi Menu In the WIFI Menu you can activate/de-activate ANOVA’s WiFi interface. If you do not need to use WIFI or DMX Master Mode, then de-activating the WiFi system will save power and extend your battery life. The Factory default setting for the WiFi System is ‘ON’ When you change the WIFI setting, ANOVA will reboot to allow the changes to take effect. (ANOVA will retain all other current settings) You can NOT turn WIFI –off if either CNTL-wifi or DMX Master Mode is –on.
Page 8 When you turn on an ANOVA , with the WIFI turned –on, it will create a network (no third party equipment, eg router, required). When you turn on the next ANOVA it will check to see if the first ANOVA has the same PIN and if a network exists, and then it joins that specific network. Your iPhone or iPad also become ‘clients’ of that specific ANOVA network. Only one (authorised by WEP password) control client (iPhone/iPad) can be connected to an ANOVA network.

Click to select. Press, hold and rotate for ‘Fast’ data entry. NB: To reset the device to the Factory Default Values, Power up the ANOVA whilst holding down the encoder switch, it will display ‘DIST’ (Distributor), and you select either yes or no to reset the unit.
Page 10 the recommended AC/DC adapter. Never exceed the recommended Voltage (1317 volts DC). Make sure you use the ‘XTRA Strap’ cable ties to secure the Power connector / adapter to your light stand, so there is no strain on the 2.1mm DC Socket, otherwise damage may occur to the socket. 7 Utility Blocks Use these to connect the Yoke, or Barn Doors.
Page 11 1 2 3 1 Accessory Mounting Spigots 2 Barn Doors 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). The Barn doors install using 4 of the smaller ‘soft touch’ knobs on the main mounting points of the utility blocks.

Page 13 6 Troubleshooting I have attached a battery but the unit does not power up ? Check that the power switch is set to ‘BATT’ and not ‘OFF’ or ‘DC IN’. I have attached the AC to DC Adapter but the unit does not power up ? Check that the power switch is set to ‘DC IN’ and not ‘OFF’ or ‘BATT’. I want to use an Anton Bauer battery with my ANOVA, how does it fit ? You need to get an Anton Bauer QR-A200 adapter plate, available from your dealer or the Rotolight online store.
Page 14 7 Magic Eye App A brief first look at the Magic Eye APP (available seperately from the iTunes APP Store). The Magic Eye App considerably enhances the capabilities of the ANOVA light. The App will launch with the Single View Controller, D-Fade and Power Button View, the remaining features will be added as free updates (except Pro Fader Mode and DMX ). The App will also be available separately as an HD iPad version.
Page 15 Pro Fader Panel Page* This page shows all your connected ANOVAs as channels on a Lighting Mixing Desk, and you have instant access to Power Fade Up, Power Fade Down and D-Fade. You also have access to the ‘GROUPS’ page and to the ‘MASTERS’ page where you can store and recall Scenes, and put together scenes with transitions as a ‘PLAYLIST’.
