Liu Jianhua, General Manager of FINE ART, led the R&D team in extending a warm welcome to the expert delegation at the research symposium. He stated that FINE ART greatly cherishes the opportunity for face-to-face exchange with industry experts, and that the suggestions put forward by the experts would play an important role in promoting FINE ART's product R&D, technological improvement, and adaptation to market demands. FINE ART will continue to uphold the development philosophy of innovation-driven growth, keep pace with industry trends, increase R&D investment, continuously improve product quality and service levels, and contribute more to the development of the industry.
At the research symposium, Li Wenzheng, Product Manager for lighting fixtures, highlighted FINE ART's key breakthroughs in lighting technology to the expert delegation. He explained that the RGBALC six-color full-spectrum color mixing technology achieves high-quality stage light output through the principle of additive color mixing. Compared with traditional subtractive color mixing schemes using color filters, it simultaneously balances brightness, color rendering, and color reproduction capability. The laser light source stage lighting technology integrates beam, gobo, and wash functions into one, achieving high-quality white light with sharp beams, clear edges, and strong long-distance projection capability. Lightweight laser beam technology continues to break through, with a complete fixture equipped with a 280W laser light source weighing only 26 kg. He then introduced in detail new FINE ART products including the full-spectrum four-in-one FA 17C, the high-CRI four-in-one FA 17, the large-aperture high-power moving head wash light FA 1507 IP (equipped with a new-generation RGBL light source, improving luminous efficiency by 35% compared with previous RGBW light sources), the high-penetration laser beam light FA 300 BEAM IP, and the three-in-one laser light FA 500 BSW IP. In terms of follow-spot technology, the FINE iSPOT PILOT ground follow-spot system has achieved a new technological breakthrough, realizing a fully automatic intelligent follow-spot function. On the basis of the original platform, simply upgrading the software, adding a base station, and carrying a positioning tag enables follow-spot tracking that follows like a shadow, providing more efficient, more flexible, and more possibilities for stage follow-spot applications.
Wang Peizhong, Product Manager for lighting consoles, presented the full series of TEKMAND lighting console products, including the intelligent flagship TEKMAND G3 series, the compact performance-oriented TEKMAND E3 series, the TEKMAND D series highlighting lightweight design, portability, and high cost-performance, and the newly launched TEKMAND X1 special effects console. He then focused on sharing TEKMAND console signature technologies such as motorized dual-flip screens, full-color backlit touch-sensitive dual-ring encoders, motorized touch faders with LED indicator scales, key backlighting and personalized customization, cameras, and depth image programming. He also introduced the three core intelligent AI functions — AI Panda, Agent, and Live Assistant — and demonstrated on site the intelligent operation functions of the TEKMAND online Agent. In the future, TEKMAND consoles are expected to equip each device with a dedicated artificial intelligence Agent, driving lighting consoles to truly achieve intelligent programming.
Wang Haichuan, Product Manager for stage machinery CNC products, introduced the FINE DAX stage CNC system, which prioritizes safety and features multiple protections, real-time monitoring, and controllable, stoppable, and traceable actions. He highlighted the dual-line winch suspension points that support dual-steel-wire fixed-point technology and two-way communication between the suspension point and the console, allowing users to grasp in real time the actual execution effect and current operating status of the suspension points, achieving safer and more efficient lifting control. The new-generation multifunctional human-machine interaction stage machinery control console, the FD Hoistar, is equipped with dual 17.3-inch high-definition touchscreens and supports motorized screen flipping. It features a built-in stage multi-axis motion effect engine, complex trajectory algorithms, and mathematical waveforms (sine, cosine, random, etc.) and graphical algorithms. Users no longer need to calculate the coordinates and parameters of each suspension point individually; they simply select the suspended object and invoke a waveform to automatically generate dynamic effects and run them in real time. It also supports the superposition of multi-attribute effects, allowing multiple effect layers to run simultaneously within a single scene, making suspended objects dance like ribbons and achieving smooth, coherent dynamic presentation.
In the product testing and experience session, led by General Manager Liu Jianhua and R&D Director Zhou Cunliang, the expert delegation visited the brand exhibition hall and the performance hall to conduct on-site inspections and testing of the latest technological breakthroughs across the four major product lines: FINE ART professional stage lighting fixtures, TEKMAND intelligent consoles, the FINE iSPOT PILOT ground follow-spot system, and the FINE DAX stage machinery CNC system. The experts focused on experiencing the FA 17C's multi-spectral light color stability technology — even when brightness is reduced, the fixture's color rendering index and color temperature remain stable. They also observed the beam, prism, and various gobo effects of the laser fixtures, experienced the intelligent voice function of the TEKMAND intelligent console, and learned about how the FINE iSPOT PILOT ground follow-spot system achieves intelligent automatic follow-spot tracking, supports simultaneous tracking of multiple targets, and can work with trigger zones to achieve creative programming such as "light up on entering the zone."
In the research summary session, the expert delegation and the FINE ART team engaged in mutual Q&A and in-depth exchange and discussion on topics such as the enterprise's product layout, technology development path, and cutting-edge industry trends. Based on a cutting-edge industry perspective, the experts focused on discussing FINE ART's core capabilities in technological R&D and product innovation, and combined with current development trends in the stage and film lighting field, put forward constructive ideas with reference value from dimensions including technology adaptation and upgrading, scenario application expansion, and the enterprise's long-term strategic planning.
