About Brompton Technology

Brompton Technology, founded in 2011 by Richard Mead and Chris Deighton, is a manufacturer of LED video processing products for the live events, virtual production, and broadcast markets. The founders, who previously worked together at Carallon and Flying Pig Systems, identified a need for robust video processing specifically designed for the rigors of live entertainment, a market they felt was underserved by repurposed broadcast technology. Their initial product, the Tessera M2 LED processor, was successful enough to make LED screen processing the company's sole focus.

The company's core business revolves around its Tessera line of LED video processors and software, which provide advanced control over LED screens used in high-stakes environments like concert tours for artists such as Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, and in virtual production for films and television shows including "Barbie" and "The Mandalorian". Brompton's business model is the manufacturing and sale of this specialized hardware and software. Key innovations include Dynamic Calibration, a method to enhance color and brightness uniformity, and technologies like ShutterSync®, which synchronizes LED refresh rates with camera settings for artifact-free filming. These features are crucial for their primary client base, which consists of production companies, studios, and rental companies in the live events and virtual production (ICVFX) sectors.

Headquartered in West London, Brompton Technology has expanded globally with offices in Burbank (USA), Shenzhen, and Taipei to provide regional sales and 24/7 technical support. The company has received numerous accolades, including a Queen's Award for Enterprise: International Trade in 2020, an Emmy® Award for its Tessera SX40 processor, and a prestigious King's Award for Enterprise for Innovation in 2025.
