Aputure has recently announced the INFINIMAT – the latest addition to their range of LED lighting solutions. This new system features pixel-mappable RGB light mats with an optional inflatable diffusion, offer extensive customization and precise control, making them suitable for a variety of production scales.
The INFINIMAT system introduces versatile RGB light mats that can significantly enhance lighting flexibility with their optional inflatable diffusion. This unique feature allows the mats to be used in their standard, flat form or expanded to create a larger, softer light source, ideal for various production needs. Each mat is equipped with pixel-mappable RGBWW LEDs, offering precise color control and a wide spectrum of creative lighting possibilities.
Offering a selection of sizes, the INFINIMAT can accommodate productions large and small, with dimensions ranging from approximately 30 × 60 cm (1′ × 2′) to a massive 610 × 610 cm (20′ × 20′). This range ensures that whether for compact on-location shoots or extensive studio setups, there’s an INFINIMAT suitable for the job. The system’s design promotes a quick setup and breakdown, enhancing its convenience for dynamic shooting schedules and multiple location changes.
Precision Lighting Across the Spectrum
The INFINIMAT leverages pixel-mappable RGBWW LEDs to provide versatile, high-quality lighting, essential for precise color control in filmmaking. Users can effortlessly adjust hues and brightness to suit specific scenes, thanks to its dual-driver dimming system which allows for fine-tuning at extremely low light levels while maintaining color accuracy. This capability ensures that the INFINIMAT can meet a wide range of cinematographic needs, from subtle mood enhancements to bold, dramatic effects.
Inflatable Diffusion for Optimal Softness
The series features an inflatable diffusion system that significantly enhances utility and functionality. Inflating the diffusion airbag softens the light, mimicking natural light with a gentle, even glow. The system can be quickly set up with the included air pump, which also efficiently deflates the airbag for rapid breakdown. The rigid structure provided by the inflated airbag eliminates the need for a separate mat frame in many setups, preventing sagging and proving particularly beneficial for overhead lighting arrangements.
Adaptable Sizes for Every Production Need
The INFINIMAT is available in a range of sizes to accommodate various production demands, from the compact 30 × 60 cm (1′ × 2′) to the expansive 610 × 610 cm (20′ × 20′). This versatility ensures that whether it’s for intimate interviews, mid-sized documentary setups, or large-scale film productions, there is an INFINIMAT appropriate for any scenario. The different dimensions allow for precise scaling of the light’s softness and intensity, making these mats highly adaptable and capable of providing the right amount of light for any scene.
Flexible Mounting and Rigging Options
Offering a slew of mounting possibilities, INFINIMAT light mats are designed for seamless integration into any setup. They can be rigged using standard frames or brackets, and feature reinforced grommets that enable secure overhead suspension. This versatility in mounting allows the INFINIMAT to be easily integrated into complex lighting setups, making it ideal for scenarios that require both versatility and adaptability. Whether mounted on a stand, hung from above, or attached to different studio rigs, the INFINIMAT provides reliable stability and flexibility, accommodating a wide range of cinematic environments and lighting needs.
Durable and Weatherproof for Demanding Environments
INFINIMAT light mats are built to last, featuring a robust, IP65-rated design that makes them perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. This rating confirms they can handle dust, sand, and splashing water, allowing them to perform well in various harsh conditions. The sturdy construction ensures durability and consistent performance, regardless of the environment. Whether on a rainy set or in a dusty workshop, the INFINIMAT mats maintain their integrity and provide reliable, high-quality light.
