So, the big highlights here are the addition of the ability to independently set DMX addresses per port, as well as adding a DMX Status Screen to support multiple DMX addresses with your lighting setups.

Dubbed the “ultimate soft light system,” Aputure’s INFINIMAT family is a uniquely designed series of inflatable airbags that can provide structure to the lights, as well as make them nice options thanks to quick setup capabilities, plus easy storage.
