First production run of Brompton Technology’s new Hydra sells out

Hydra CameraJanuary 17, 2020. Following the phenomenal success of Brompton Technology’s LDI Dynamic Calibration showcase, its first production run of the new Hydra measurement system has already sold out with Fuse Technical Group, WorldStage, Creative Technology Group (CT), and Production Resource Group (PRG) amongst those immediately putting in orders, citing it as the perfect solution for advanced measurement of LED panels.

“Hydra unlocks the power of Dynamic Calibration and, consequently, Brompton HDR, but is also much faster than legacy calibration systems, saving time and money for any company that invests in the system,” says Brompton’s Managing Director, Richard Mead. “It can be used to calibrate any panel fitted with a Tessera R2 receiver card, allowing Brompton users to upgrade their existing inventory to unleash its full potential.”

“At PRG/VER we’re extremely excited to continue our partnership with Brompton by investing in its new Hydra system,” adds Troy Boudreaux – Strategic Asset Director (LED) at PRG/VER.  “We’ve always taken pride in providing top-notch quality and solutions to our clients, so it was not a difficult choice for us.  Brompton is and has been a company that always pushes the envelope of what can be done – balanced with the desire to provide quality products to their clients. It’s a privilege to work with such an incredible company.”

The Hydra is an advanced measurement system custom-designed for LED panels fitted with a Tessera R2 receiver card. Panels must be measured with Hydra to benefit from Dynamic Calibration, the ground-breaking technology that enables Brompton HDR; unlocking the full potential of LED panels so they can achieve brighter whites, higher contrast ratios, more saturated colours, and true-to-life colour accuracy for a previously unattainable level of image quality and realism.

“WorldStage is recognized for our consistent leadership in LED displays by offering a wide range of top-of-the-line products,” says WorldStage President and CEO Gary Standard.  “It’s essential that we maintain our LED fleet at superior levels. High Dynamic Range (HDR) is the gold standard in LED display quality that very few can offer.  Brompton Technology is a great partner and their new Hydra System will enable WorldStage to provide our customers with the highest quality LED displays in the industry.”

Investors in the Hydra system benefit from the system’s minimal set-up time, comprehensive error checks and its ability to generate reports in multiple languages to give an objective assessment of panel performance, making it straightforward to confirm that each new batch of panels meets individual specifications and reducing the potential for user error.

“CT deals with a wide network of great companies, and our association with Brompton spans several years, during which time we have worked on various high-end projects together,” says Global President NEP Live Events and CEO Creative Technology Group, Graham Andrews. “What we value most in the company is reliability and their second to none tech support.”

“We pride ourselves on using the latest technologies in order to give the edge to our customers, so being able to offer Brompton HDR for the first time among our other exciting tech innovations fits very well with our corporate strategy.”

“We’ve been previewing Brompton HDR throughout 2019 and the customer reaction has been amazing from the outset. We are excited to finally be sharing how that stunning performance is achieved, using the ground-breaking Dynamic Calibration technology and the advanced Hydra measurement system,” concludes Mead. “We are delighted that valued partners Fuse, World Stage, CT, and PRG have immediately recognised its benefits and are so perfectly placed to maximise on its success.”
