An overview of some of the leading forces in the world of tour-ready LED video processing.

BROMPTON TECHNOLOGY

Brompton Technology’s award winning 4K SX40 processor combines Tessera’s feature set and easy-to-use software interface with Brompton’s highest-ever capacity processor. The Tessera SX40 LED Processor offers support for full 4K screens at 60Hz with 12 bits per colour output. It supports latency-free 4K up/down scaling to match the source to the screen, as well as all of Tessera’s processing features like ChromaTune colour correction, On Screen Colour Adjustment (OSCA), Panel On Screen Display (OSD), Processor Redundancy, as well as newly released features such as PureTone and ThermaCal. It is compatible with all existing Tessera fixture inventory.

Exclusive to the SX40 is High Dynamic Range (HDR), which is enabled by Brompton’s ground-breaking new Dynamic Calibration technology and offers a new approach to delivering impressive image quality improvements on LED screens. Per pixel, HDR offers greater brightness and colour ranges with a higher bit depth, delivering more detail within the shadows and highlights and more headroom for exceptionally bright content. An HDR image appears perceptibly sharper and more detailed with greater ‘depth’, providing vivid, lifelike images when compared to Standard Dynamic Range (SDR). HDR is resolution-agnostic and can improve image quality in good quality panels no matter what the resolution or the size of the screen. Used in combination with the Tessera XD Data Distribution Unit, which is a sophisticated single box solution designed to manage the complications of mass cabling that can arise with large LED display systems, the SX40 provides a cost-effective yet powerful system that will support the biggest and boldest LED projects.

BARCO

ImagePRO-4K easily scales, converts and switches the highest quality signals without latency (4K, 4:4:4, 60p, 10-bit), effectively solving glitches before they even occur. The latest I/O connectors enable you to seamlessly convert HDMI 2.0, DP 1.2 and 3G-12G SDI signals while also enabling output image rotation. The ImagePRO-4K is built for life on the road. Assembled and tested for extreme use and abuse, the ImagePRO performs just as well at the gig as it does in the shop. What’s more, the live-source view on the front panel provides you with a clear view of the incoming signal giving you the confidence you need to execute your event flawlessly. Need to slice and dice LED signals? The ImagePRO-4K does it with ease. Either chop up single inputs across several connectors, or drive multiple walls from multiple sources. The LED set-up menu will guide you through the process to achieve pixel perfect images. The 12-bit internal processing handles pre-scaling or cropping to an LED wall’s actual resolution - in perfect detail.

ROE VISUAL

The eV4 4K LED processor by ROE Visual offers an advantageous solution for 4K processing for the ROE Visual product lines. The eV4 processor is compatible with all EVISION products with an i6 or i9 card, such as the Carbon series, Diamond, Black Marble and Sapphire LED products. It features an integrated image processor, processor redundancy, 4K HDR and is the first processor to combine 4K with a fibre output. The Fibre Distributor eVX10 enables long distance signal transmission. Th e processor enables next generation image display and can handle 4K resolution display on a 60Hz frame rate, thus creating an outstanding image performance. Offering 10-bit per colour output, the eV4processor supports real HDR to achieve striking visuals. Both the scaling options and the PIP functionality have no restrictions in mapping of size adjustment, so you have almost limitless creative freedom in programming. Th e eV4 has diverse input supports, such as: HDMI2.0, DP1.4 and SDI. The output, based on 4 fibre outputs, facilitates system redundancy. Main output 1 and 3 are linked, as are 2 and 4, thus creating automatic backups. Pairing the eV4 processor with the eVX10 fibre distribution box offers multiple advantages. Using the i-set software settings makes programming your project a breeze. With more standard pre-sets and easy mapping functionality, you have the freedom to create spectacular projects. The easy navigation and LCD read-out make menu selection intuitive and easy.
