      Whenever the Studio Mode is "ON", the fixture powers on only when AC power is present; whenever the Studio Mode is "OFF", the fixture powers on only when the Power Switch is in the ON position and the lamp is receiving power from either AC or its DC source.

      If your lamps are being used in a rigged environment, enabling Studio Mode would allowed you to power off the lamps using the AC power provided; the next day, providing power via AC again, would turn the lamps back on without a need to physically toggle the "Power" button/switch.

      Frequency Selection

      The Frequency selection mode allows you to tune the frequency of the dimming controls in the Nova P300c & P600c to help negate any flicker. This is predominantly for when a filmmaker is shooting at higher shutter speeds. The base frequency of the dimming circuitry is 20KHz, and each unit of the Frequency Selection Mode (1-10) decreases the frequency by 200Hz.  The P600c Frequency Selection Mode allows for stepped increments of +100Hz up to +2000Hz.

      Rotate the Wheel to adjust the light frequency by ±100Hz every turn.
