LZX Connect

LZX Connect is the desktop companion app for guided firmware updates across LZX hardware. Update Videomancer over USB-C, flash Scrolls, Diver, and Escher Sketch modules via rear USB DFU, and manage Videomancer program libraries: all from one desktop app.

Requires Videomancer firmware 1.x.x or later. Firmware 1.x.x is currently pre-release. If your device is on firmware 0.1.8, use the manual BOOT button method to upgrade to 1.x.x first. Once on 1.x.x, enable Show pre-releases in LZX Connect settings to see and install pre-release firmware updates.

Release Notes

connect/1.3.14October 23, 2026

LZX Connect 1.3.14

Bugfix release: Connect no longer goes blank on older macOS when it shows firmware release notes.

Fixed in 1.3.14

Blank window on macOS Monterey — On Macs whose Safari is older than 16.4 (Monterey and earlier), the window went blank as soon as Connect showed the release notes for a firmware update. The release notes now display on every supported macOS

Error notices instead of a blank window — If any part of the window fails to draw, Connect now shows the error in a notice you can copy, with a Try again button, instead of clearing the whole window. The rest of the app, including other connected devices, keeps working

Requires Videomancer firmware

Program library installs need Videomancer 1.0.1 or later; 1.0.2-rc.5 is recommended. The automatic Upload Program resend from 1.3.13 needs 1.0.2-rc.3 or later.

Supported devices

Videomancer, Chromagnon (UF2)

Scrolls, Diver, Escher Sketch (STM32 DFU)

TBC2 Mk2, Memory Palace (USB mass storage)

Artifacts

Windows: MSI + NSIS setup

macOS: universal DMG (Apple Silicon + Intel)
