Brompton Technology, the global leader in LED video processing for live events, broadcast, and virtual production, returned to NAB Show 2025 with its most ambitious showcase to date. Renowned for pioneering solutions for LED processing that have transformed the use of LED for on-camera applications, Brompton demonstrated the performance, precision, and creative flexibility that continue to set its technology apart.
“From virtual production to high-end broadcast stages, Brompton’s award-winning Tessera platform has set the standard for image fidelity and real-time control,” says César Caceres, Product Lead at Brompton Technology. “At NAB this year, the company builds on that legacy with a powerful combination of next-gen hardware, hands-on technology previews, and immersive demonstrations tailored to the needs of today’s content creators.”
A highlight of Brompton’s booth was the enclosed Demo Cave, a purpose-built space designed to showcase the company’s most advanced Tessera software features including Frame Remapping, Extended Bit Depth, Dark Time Insertion, and TrueLight™. Side-by-side comparisons enable visitors to evaluate the difference these technologies make in real-world scenarios. With two LED screens arranged in an L-shape and a ceiling array of TrueLight-powered ROE Visual RGBW panels, the setup provides a fully immersive environment to observe color accuracy, motion performance, and ambient light reflection in action.
Other demonstrations showed how Hidden Markers can provide motion tracking and green screen cues without interfering with camera output, and how Tessera’s Dark Magic feature maintains exceptional image integrity in low-brightness environments. Together, these demos provided the opportunity to evaluate Brompton’s features in real-time, under conditions that mirror on-set production challenges.
Brompton also welcomed Foundry to its NAB 2025 booth, a company which has a heritage of more than 25 years developing creative software for the media and entertainment industry. As part of a special collaboration, Dan Caffrey, Product Manager – Virtual Production at Foundry, demonstrated a new virtual production solution that bridges the gap between VP and VFX workflows. The demo took place live at the Brompton booth, offering attendees an inside look at tools designed to streamline content creation across the pipeline.
The booth neighbored that of ROE Visual, the founding Diamond Partner in Brompton’s panel manufacturer partner program, and featured a large 4K LED presentation wall, comprising ROE BP2v2 panels powered by Brompton’s 4K Tessera SX40 LED processor. This wall displayed creative content throughout the show and served as the backdrop for a series of panel discussions with industry partners such as Synapse Virtual Production, Foundry, The Garage, Assimilate, and Unilumin. These sessions explored innovations and best practices in LED workflows for broadcast, live events, and virtual production.
Visitors to the booth also saw a live tech demo of the new Tessera SQ200 Ultimate, the flagship processor in Brompton’s upcoming Gen 3 range. The demonstration featured an end-to-end ST 2110 workflow, with a real-time video feed processed by the Tessera SQ200, routed through Brompton’s new QD-S (100G to 10G) and XD-S (10G to 1G) data distribution units.
Building on the award-winning 4K Tessera SX40, the 8K SQ200 Ultimate delivers 20x more processing power, full support for ST 2110 and IPMX, and complete backward compatibility with existing Brompton receiver cards and infrastructure. With its built-in preview display and support for multiple swappable input cards (HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1, 12G-SDI), the Tessera SQ200 simplifies on-set operations while future-proofing LED infrastructure.
In addition to the hardware demo, Brompton unveiled its new intuitive graphical user interface for managing AV over IP and multi-stream video input, designed to simplify both IP-based and 4x4K workflows. This software preview showcased how users can define, route, and visualize multiple streams, whether from IP or baseband sources, and convert them into flexible virtual feeds across the canvas, using an innovative UI design with registered design rights and patents pending. According to Caceres, the new interface is not just a backend tool for engineers, but “a visual, intuitive layer” that enables real-time stream monitoring, quick issue identification, and direct workflow control, making a complex technology like ST 2110 feel accessible and powerful in practice.
“We’re delighted to be back at NAB to meet with our customers and industry partners,” concludes Caceres. “It’s a fantastic opportunity to showcase the trusted LED processing solutions our users rely on every day, while also offering an exciting preview of the power and flexibility our new Gen 3 platform brings for the future.”
