[INFINIMAT] 8x8 Setup Instructions

Please note  that  the  INFINIMAT  8x8  requires  a  steel  square  stock  frame  for mounting/rigging. 
Depending on  the mounting  configuration  (attaching  to  rolling  combo  stands,  hanging  from  a grid), mounting ears may  also  be  required. Such  grip  equipment  is  available  from manufacturers such as Matthews, American,  and Avenger.

Setup  Instructions

1. Lay out  sound blankets,  visqueen  or  other  protective material  on  a  flat  surface.
2. Place  the deflated  8x8  airbag  on  the  soundblanket/visqueen,  clear  side  facing  up  and diffusion  side  facing  down.
3. Using  the  included  airpump,  inflate  the  airbag  (takes ~90  seconds  to  fully  inflate, will  retain air  for more  than  24  hours).
4. Arrange  the LED mat  panels  face-down,  pointing  into  the  clear  side  of  the  airbag.
5. Attach  the LED mat  panels  to  the  airbag  using  the  velcro  flaps  on  each  of  the  four  sides. 
6. Arrange  the Aputure  labeling  on  the  back  of  the  LED  panels  to  read  left  to  right when standing oriented at  one  end  of  the  airbag. Properly  aligned,  the  head  cable will  be  at your  feet as  you  read  the  labeling  left  to  right. 
7. Feed  steel  (not aluminum)  square  stock  frame  through  reinforced  loops  found  around 
   the outer perimeter  of  the  inflated  8x8  airbag.  (NOTE:  for  attaching  frame  ears,  slide 
   square  stock  through  half  the  loops  and  overshoot  out  of  the  end,  line  up  your  ear 
   toward  the  top-middle  of  the  airbag,  then  feed  the  square  stock  through  lower  loops.) 
8. Fasten  the adjustable  clamp  straps  (found  along  the  perimeter  of  the  airbag)  to  the  frame and  tighten. Roll  or  tie  any  excess  strap  length  close  to  the  steel  frame. 

This  completes  the  assembly  of  the  INFINIMAT  8x8  and mounting  it  to  a  frame. Further  rigging for  stand or  overhead mounting  is  dependent  on  use  and  a  qualified  grip  or  engineer  should  be consulted. An  included  grid  (aka  “eggcrate”)  can  be  attached with Velcro to  the  face  of  the  INFINIMAT  8x8 to  control  the  direction  of  the  light. For  overhead  use,  an  included  skirt  can  be  attached with Velcro to  the perimeter of  the  INFINIMAT  to  control  light  spill.
