This firmware update for the TEKMAND console, version V4.0.12.12, introduces over 30 new features and optimizations, covering practical enhancements, improved operational workflows, strengthened device integration, and broader compatibility. The upgrade significantly boosts efficiency in stage lighting programming, show control, and device management. Below, we provide a detailed technical breakdown of seven core upgrades, including implementation steps and operational guidance.

 

1. MVR File Import Support

 

Step 1: Navigate to Setup – Show – Patch – Fixture Management, click the Import MVR button at the bottom of the window, and select the MVR file to import.

Step 2: Default MVR storage path: fixlib/MVR.

 

2. New Script for Sequence-to-Timecode Conversion (ExectorToTimecode.lua)

 

Step 1: In the sequence cue settings, set the trigger mode to Time and specify the trigger time.

Step 2: From the user-defined area, open Windows – System – Scripts and import the script ExectorToTimecode.lua.

Step 3: Execute the script directly to convert the existing sequence into timecode cues.

 

3. New Live Camera Window

 

Access: User-Defined Area – Open Window – Library – Live Camera to open the Live Camera window, which displays discovered network cameras.

Step 1: Click Discover to search for network cameras on the local network.

Step 2: Enter the Username and Password, click Verify; when "Parameter Verified" changes to Yes, the network camera is successfully added.

Step 3: Open User-Defined Area – Open Window – Others – Live Assistant to switch and view the network camera feed.

 

4. New Shortcut Components in the Attribute Toolbar for TEKMAND G3 Consoles

For G3 series consoles, the attribute toolbar now includes a shortcut component for attribute wheels, occupying a 6×1 cell layout.

Displays attribute names; supports switching associated attributes (configurable via Setup – User – Custom Panel Settings).

Displays attribute values; slide up/down to adjust, or tap to enter precise values.

For TEKMAND E3 consoles, three default attributes – Strobe, Zoom, Focus – are placed in the left three columns of each page on the right screen.

 

5. New Dual‑Mode Operation for the Color Picker

The color adjustment panel and color picker now feature two working modes, accessible via the X14 key area: Color Mix Only and Color Wheel Only.

Selecting Color Mix Only applies to the fixture's RGB color mixing (COLORRGB).

Selecting Color Wheel Only applies to the fixture's color wheel (COLOR).

 

6. New Integrated Shortcut Component in the Bar Display Custom Area

For TEKMAND G3 consoles, the bar display custom area now includes an integrated shortcut component that consolidates three key information items: fixture count, volume, and master control value. This eliminates the need to switch pages repeatedly, allowing real‑time monitoring of critical data and improving on‑site efficiency.

 

7. Visual Interface Optimization

In the layout window, the inner ring border for selected fixtures has been changed to a black border, providing clearer visual distinction and reduced eye strain during extended operation, further refining the overall user experience.
