Brompton Technology is dedicated to the specialist design and manufacture of cutting-edge, rugged, and tour-ready LED video processing products for the live events, film and broadcast industries.
Brompton Technology was established in 2012 as part of the Carallon group based in West London. Its products have been used on the international tours of global acts like U2 and Metallica, as well as in long-term installations such as the BT Tower Infoband in London, and in many film, TV and studio projects using virtual production.
The company originally conceived the Tessera system to meet the LED processing needs of the live event and installation sector. Its founders have many years of experience developing control systems for this market, including the original Flying Pig Systems Wholehog moving-light consoles, which gave them a deep understanding of this fast-paced industry, and extremely high standards for functionality and reliability.
Since the recent emergence of virtual production and green screen replacement on film and TV sets, Brompton’s devotion to innovation and creating products of quality have ensured it has been the processor of choice for many exclusive projects, working alongside industry leaders like Epic Games, Lux Machina, and High Res. Tessera LED processors are also being used in many new digital studios, thanks to their exceptional, reliable performance in creating seamless screens for camera.
Brompton Technology has become a globally known and respected brand within the LED video industry; delivering the highest quality processors in the sector, genuine industry-first innovation, software with an intuitive and evolving feature set, and industry-renowned 24/7 service and support.
