Brompton Tessera Version 3.1
LED processor manufacturer Brompton Technology has announced the release of its new Tessera V3.1 software , providing users of Tessera SX40 and S8 LED processors with a host of features , including HFR + and Frame Remapping , delivering key benefits for creatives working in virtual production , cinematography , sports broadcast , simulation , and virtual reality .
Tessera ’ s High Frame Rate ( HFR ) function already gives the power to display video content on an LED screen at up to 144 fps ( frames per second ). This latest 3.1 update extends this with HFR +, allowing the Tessera SX40 and S8 to support up to a 250 fps . HFR + also makes it possible to shoot slow motion visual effects with over-cranked cameras against LED screens and still retain perfect synchronisation between screen and camera .
Frame Rate Multiplication is another feature augmented in Tessera V3 ., 1 with a new Frame Remapping feature that allows the user to interleave different areas of the video raster or solid colours in the output . Any 24-bit RGB colour may be specified for each output frame , including black ( for dark frame insertion ), white ( for supplemental lighting ), or solid colours ( such as green for visual effects ).
Accompanying these video performance enhancements is a new IP Control capability for tighter integration with third-party or custom control systems . All Brompton Tessera processors now support both HTTP and raw TCP , allowing both status monitoring and remote control of key screen parameters such as brightness or input source .
