Brompton Technology’s Tessera R2 receiver card takes a new module-based design approach to produce the most powerful ever LED panel receiver card.

Now an industry standard, R2 uses cutting-edge technology to ensure a perfect combination of capacity, size and features.

Supporting 262k output pixels, it is ideal for all types of panels, including sub-2mm fine pitch products.

The R2 works with all Tessera processors, which are packed with industry-leading features such as Brompton’s intuitive software system, built-in scaling, extensive colour adjustments, flexible output mapping, and live control over DMX. Other advanced features include:

• Superior greyscale performance – Especially when the LED panels are run at low brightness as is typical in many studio applications
• Module storage – Reading calibration data from the LED modules so modules can be swapped without having to recalibrate
• Advanced calibration options – Allowing video engineers to make on-site tweaks, for example applying edgecorrection to compensate for mechanical seams between panels using On-Screen Colour Adjustment (OSCA).

GIGABIT ETHERNET

All processors in the Tessera family communicate via Gigabit Ethernet with LED panels fitted with Tessera receiver cards. Off-the-shelf Gigabit Ethernet networking equipment and cabling can be used.

DESIGN SUPPORT

Reference designs are provided to aid hub board design, and our multilingual Field Application Engineers are always available to support the integration of new panels remotely or locally from our Shenzhen office.

SMALLER FORM FACTOR

Measuring just 68x32mm and using the widely available
DDR2 SO-DIMM socket to integrate it, the compact form factor of the R2 module effortlessly fits in small hub board designs that continue to decrease in size.

The race for resolution is not the most important race any more. Beyond a certain point, fine pixel pitches in LED panels can do more harm than good, to both budget and performance.

High Dynamic Range video offers a new approach, and when done properly it’s a sure-fire route to sharper, more vivid, and more lifelike images.

Recent technology demos have shown that with the right LED panels, the right processing system, and the right calibration techniques, HDR can offer a huge step up in image quality on LED screens.

Rather than simply another increase in resolution, High Dynamic Range (HDR) video brings a trio of image quality improvements that are particularly well-placed to be the next big thing for LED screens.

For every pixel, HDR describes a larger brightness range, a wider colour gamut, and a higher bit depth. The brightness range offered by conventional Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) video’s ‘gamma curve’ – the transfer function that encodes luminance or brightness into a video signal – doesn’t get close to exploiting the 10,000:1 brightness range perceptible by the human visual system.

To improve this, we have to expand the brightness range by breaking away from that basic gamma curve. Putting all this together, HDR is potentially fantastic news for LED screens.

First, LEDs can offer the brightness range necessary to display HDR content, which is typically thousands of Nits (cd/m2), and modern high-quality RGB LEDs are capable of a colour gamut approaching that of Rec.2020, ensuring saturated colours can be faithfully reproduced. Independent control over every LED means we can reproduce the full brightness range without losing detail, and with perfect blacks and no backlight bleed, LED screens generate far fewer undesirable artefacts than many other technologies
