When a device has "infinite rotary

They mean that there's no hard stop at either end. When you turn to
the left and get to zero, you can continue turning to the left infinitely,
though it won't affect the value.
There are others that send relative data: 4 to the left, 12 to the
right or so. For example the Pocket Dial supports this
increment/decrement mode depending on the setup:

I *heard* that the Behringer is "broken" in this regard in that it
just stops to send data when one end is reached (that is, it stays at
0 or 127 without wrapping around at all). I'd be glad to hear if this
is true or not, as that would make the rotary encoders useless to me.
Ciao
