Setup DRB-CURVEKIT Instructions To create a curved video wall with the Ground Stack Kit, The VID-CURVEKIT and DRB-CURVEKIT must both be used. To set up the Ground Stack Kit with a 5° or 10° concave curve, connect the dual function rig bars with the DRB-CURVEKIT.
Setup Installing the Floor Bases with the DRB-CURVEKIT When creating a curved setup with the DRB-CURVEKIT and VID-CURVEKIT, each pair of floor bases will be set at a wider angle to each other. To compensate, the ladder pipes will need to be adjusted to different lengths, as seen in the example illustration below.

Warning! Ensure this attachment point is fully seated and tightened! Improperly seated and tightened attachments WILL cause safety hazards! When curving with REM video panels, leave the clamps on the ends of the ladder pipes loose until the floor bars are firmly fastened to the rig bars.
Setup 5. Repeat steps 1-4 with the rest of the dual-function rig bars and floor bars. Connect the male speego connector of the floor bars to the same female speego connector on each REM-RB50CM IP CURVE or REM-RB100CM IP. Ensure that every rig bar and floor bar is level with each other before continuing! Ladder Truss Setup 1.
