TEKMAND Profile Installation

Learn how to properly add a generated fixture from showbackstage.ru to TEKMAND series consoles.

1️⃣ Download Profile File

After successful generation and DMX channel verification, select your console TEKMAND (.xmlp) in the modal window and click the download button (Multi Fixture or Single Fixture, depending on the device type).

Downloading file

2️⃣ Move File to Directory

If you are using the PC version (onPC) or have direct access to the console's file system, you can copy the downloaded file directly to the library directory:

C:\ProgramData\Fineart\TEKMAND\fa_V_4.0\fixlib

Alternatively, you can use a USB flash drive. Create the following folder structure on the flash drive: fatk\fixlib (e.g., F:\fatk\fixlib) and copy the .xmlp file there so the console can see it.
