Updated Optical Design is Brighter Than Ever
The upgraded optical design and LED chipset of the MC Pro allow it to output 1,585 lux at 0.5m at 5,600K, achieved by narrowing the beam angle to 45° for increased intensity and throw. Magnetic accessories such as a 30° Light Control Grid or diffusers can also be used to control or diffuse the light.
Wider Color Range and More Accuracy
The chipset in the MC Pro provides expanded color controls and CCT range from 2,000K to 10,000K with green-magenta adjustment. It can reproduce more than 90% of all colors within the Rec. 2020 color space and produce faithful skin tones with a CRI/TLCI score of 96, SSI (D56) of 72, and SSI (Tungsten) of 82, consistent with Aputure’s high color accuracy standards across all product lines.
Advanced Controls and Customizations
For full creative freedom, filmmakers can fine-tune the MC Pro’s color using advanced HSI with white-point adjustability, RGB, GEL, or xy controls. The MC Pro also comes with 15 built-in System FX and other advanced features unique to the Aputure and amaran ecosystems, including Sidus Pro FX such as Picker FX and Music FX, which can be saved using the Sidus Link app for easy access to different lighting modes.
The MC Pro can be controlled using its new TFT color display or any of its professional remote options such as LumenRadio CRMX, wired DMX/RDM1, or Sidus Link. Operating this light feels seamless even in the most demanding conditions.
