S8

FLEXIBILITY FOR BEAUTIFUL MID-RANGE PROJECTS

Brompton Technology’s Tessera S8 LED processor is perfect for high-profile projects that don’t require large output capacity but would still benefit from the flexibility of Brompton’s industry-leading Tessera feature set and easy-to-use software.

Sitting alongside the award-winning Tessera SX40, this mid-range LED processor provides stunning results with support for all of Brompton’s ground-breaking Tessera processing features, including HDR and Dynamic Calibration as well as Extended Bit Depth, HFR+ (High Frame Rate) and frame Remapping . Additionally, Stacking can be used to control multiple processors as one.

It offers full 4K60 input support, with eight 1G outputs each capable of 525K pixels at 60Hz, 8 bits per colour, and has a zero-latency up/down scaler that matches the source to the screen.

The Tessera S8 allows for full HD output with closed loop redundancy, making it the obvious choice for rental companies looking to maximise their offering for those more cost-conscious events.

POWERFUL TESSERA FEATURE SET

HIGH FRAME RATE, HIGH ADRENALINE

ULTRA LOW LATENCY AND HIGH FRAME RATE

The Tessera S8 LED processor already has an industry-leading 2 frames end-to-end latency. Now ultra low latency reduces this to just 1 frame, making it easier to synchronise live action with visual effects, virtual sets and cameras.

HFR+ (High Frame Rate) gives you the power to play video content on an LED screen at up to 250 fps (frames per second). It offers significantly smoother motion, reduced motion artefacts in fast moving content, and reduces input lag – enabling content to be displayed on screen faster than ever before.

CUSTOM FIXTURE CONTROL

It’s easy to get a show up and running with the Tessera S8, with several powerful features for configuring your fixtures:

CLOSED LOOP REDUNDANCY

The Tessera S8 processor delivers peace of mind for users with the ability to operate a full HD output with closed loop redundancy.

Cabling loops are created from the primary port, through a string of fixtures, and then back to the processor.

In case of unexpected signal loss or errors with the loop or primary feed, the backup port takes control and within one frame switches to the backup feed, ensuring a worry-free live show.

Dragonfly

R2 RECEIVER CARD

The R2 Receiver Card is the most powerful Tessera receiver card ever, supporting a 262k pixel capacity, making it perfect for all types of LED panels.
