Aputure INFINIBAR PB12

What is the Aputure INFINIBAR PB12?

The Aputure INFINIBAR PB12 is a 4-foot (120cm) 27W full-color RGBWW LED pixel bar designed for cinematographers, gaffers, and lighting designers. It features 96 independently controllable pixel zones, an ultra-thin blendable design, built-in battery power, CRMX wireless control, and a unique splicing ecosystem that allows multiple INFINIBARs to be connected into custom geometric shapes.

What makes the INFINIBAR PB12 different from traditional LED tube lights?

Unlike traditional round tube lights, the INFINIBAR PB12 features a flat, rectangular profile with edge-to-edge illumination and zero end-cap bezel gaps. This allows multiple units to be connected end-to-end or at various angles (using optional INFINIBAR connectors) to create seamless, continuous linear light bars or complex geometric shapes (triangles, hexagons, squares) without visible black gaps between fixtures.

How many pixel zones does the INFINIBAR PB12 have?

The INFINIBAR PB12 features 96 independent pixel zones across its 4-foot length. This ultra-high pixel density allows for extremely smooth color chases, dynamic lighting effects, and precise pixel-mapping for practical lighting or in-camera visual effects (VFX).

What powering options and battery life does the INFINIBAR PB12 offer?

The PB12 can be powered via AC power or its built-in rechargeable battery:

• Internal Battery Runtime: Operates wirelessly for approximately 80 minutes at maximum power output (and up to several hours at lower light levels).

• AC Mains Power: Includes a 48V DC power adapter (100V–240V AC) that recharges the fixture while in operation.

• Pass-Through Power: When connected using INFINIBAR multi-light power sharing connectors, multiple fixtures can be powered from a single central power source.

What wireless control options are available on the INFINIBAR PB12?

The INFINIBAR PB12 supports industry-standard professional wireless protocols:

• LumenRadio CRMX & DMX/RDM: Integrated LumenRadio CRMX for wireless control via lighting consoles and boards.

• Sidus Link App: Full control via Bluetooth Mesh using the Sidus Link / Sidus Link Pro mobile apps to adjust CCT, HSI, System FX, Pixel FX, and custom pixel layouts.

• Wired Ethernet: Compatible with Art-net and sACN protocols via optional USB-C to DMX/Ethernet adapters.

Key Specifications Summary

The Aputure INFINIBAR PB12 RGB LED Light Panel (120cm) is Aputure’s first RGBWW full-colour LED pixel bar. Featuring 96 pixels, intuitive mounting and connecting options with an infinite blending design, an integrated battery, and advanced connectivity methods, the INFINIBAR PB12 is a 4-foot (120cm) pixel bar that excels in constructing unique, colourful designs that bring scenes to life in new and exciting ways.

The INFINIBAR’s most unique feature is the ability to link multiple 1ft, 2ft, or 4ft INFINIBARs together using 10 differently-shaped connectors1 to design creative shapes and effects. Users can operate multiple INFINIBARs using one power supply when linked by the power-sharing connectors or use their internal batteries for greater versatility. The pixel bar’s infinite blending design also eliminates visible gaps between fixtures to create seamless pixelated effects using the PB6’s 48 RGB pixels.

Featuring advanced wireless connectivity, the INFINIBAR PB6’s 48 pixels can be grouped and controlled via Sidus Link, LumenRadio CRMX, or through wired DMX using Aputure’s USB-C to DMX Adapter.2 It also incorporates critical colour controls (including advanced HSI with white- point adjustability, RGB, and xy) for full creative freedom. Toggle between 9 built-in System FX and 7 built-in Pixel FX, or save up to 20 Custom FX in the Sidus Link app for easy access to different light modes.

The INFINIBAR PB6’s proprietary RGBWW chipset produces stunning colour quality throughout its wide CCT range of 2,000K to 10,000K with full green-magenta adjustment, and can reproduce >90% of colours within the Rec.2020 Colour Space. Matching Aputure’s high standards for colour, the INFINIBAR PB6 also produces accurate skin tones, measuring scores of CRI: 96+, TLCI: 98+, SSI (D56): 74, and SSI (Tungsten): 85.

With its lightweight yet durable aluminium housing, the INFINIBAR PB6 provides ultimate flexibility across all shooting environments. Whether linked together or used independently, the INFINIBAR’s built-in magnets, INFINIBAR Rail and Baby Pin Clamp system, and two 1⁄4-20in threads allow the PB6 to be mounted with ease. And with its built-in 29.6Wh Lithium battery, the INFINIBAR PB6 can operate at its 14W max output for 100 minutes, making it a versatile and compact fixture for your lighting toolkit.
