Step 3 Plug everything in 

After you unbox your LFC Kit, get it ready to use by plugging everything in. More detailed instructions are included here.

Please make sure the: 

• USB-C cable is connecting your camera to the LFC
• HDMI cable is connecting your LFC to your projector
• There are no cables connected directly to your computer/laptop 

Step 4 Connect to your device

To connect your device for the first time:

1. Turn on your projector
2. Turn on the LFC computer
3. Click 'Pair Device' in Lightform Creator.

Follow the instructions in Lightform Creator to connect to your LFC Kit by pairing to a supported Wi-Fi network.

We recommend doing this process on a stable, secure network and not on-site at an installation. 

To connect through Wi-Fi:

1. On your computer, connect to the Wi-Fi network with the name of your LFC e.g. Lightform Ancient Jackal. The password is lightform. If you do not see the Lightform Device's network, please complete the step-by-step Pairing Wizard.
   

   Please note:
   It can take up to 3 minutes for the Lightform device to show up in your Wi-Fi networks after you turn it on

2. On Lightform Creator, connect to your regular Wi-Fi network by selecting the network and typing in the correct password. 
   
3. On your computer, switch back to your regular Wi-Fi network. Make sure you reconnect to the same network that you selected for pairing. Pay attention to Wi-Fi bandwidth e.g. 2g vs 5g.

You should now be paired!

Please note:
If the pairing process is not successful please complete the step-by-step Pairing Wizard. You may have to connect via Ethernet, upgrade your device and try again to pair with Wi-Fi. For more details on pairing, other networking options, and to access offline mode when the internet is not an option visit this page.

 Step 5 Update your firmware

To begin using your device, you must update the device's firmware to ensure you are using the latest Lightform Creator features. This requires that the device be connected to a network with an internet connection.

Continue following the instructions in Lightform Creator to update the firmware.

Please note: If you are using your brand new device for the first time, and Lightform Creator does not prompt you to update your firmware, please contact our support team. 

Step 6 Get ready to scan

Congrats! After you've connected your device to the same network as your computer and updated the firmware, your Lightform device is ready to use.

The first step of the creation process will be to set up your scene and perform a scan. Make sure you are familiar with our scan features and how to create the best setup for optimal scan results. 

Step 7 Start designing

Once you have your first scan, you can use our smart tools to mask out parts of the scene and apply our built-in library of effects or import your own images and videos to design your experience. Please read more about this workflow here: Adding Content.
