Brompton Tessera S8 4K LED Video Processor

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

Sitting alongside the award-winning SX40, this mid-range processor also provides support for all of Brompton’s Tessera processing features, including HDR and Dynamic Calibration, as well as Extended Bit Depth, Ultra Low Latency, HFR+(High Frame Rate), Frame Remapping, ShutterSync® and 3D LUT Import.

It also supports On-Screen Colour Adjustment (OSCA) for seam corrections; Dark Magic for dark-area detail, and ChromaTune for colour control. Additionally, Stacking can be used to control multiple processors as one.

The S8 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.

There are several powerful, flexible options for configuring fixtures within the 4K standard canvas such as:

• Quick Association for a fast and easy way to associate large numbers of fixtures to a Brompton processor
• Pixel mapping that allows free placement and rotation of fixtures to 0˚ / 90˚ / 180˚ / 270˚ regardless of cabling
  order
• Sub-fixture support

With the additional benefit of allowing for full HD output with closed loop redundancy, it’s the obvious choice for anyone looking to maximize their offering for those more cost-conscious events.
