Brompton Technology’s Tessera SX40 powers “Red Haute Glammies” video walls

The Red Haute Glammie Awards is an annual celebration of the British skincare brand Tropic. Utilising over 500 ROE CB5 LED panels in large video walls, CPL Enhanced Technology deployed Brompton Tessera SX40 processors and XD data distributors to power the ever-changing backdrop at this year’s “Glammies” edition.

Working closely with event producers Pandora Events, CPL supplied the screens and lighting under the guidance of Lee Gruszeckyj, Director of CPL and project manager for the event. The awards ceremony took place in Birmingham’s Resorts World Arena on September 14, 2024, with 4,200 of Tropic’s “Glambassadors” welcomed to a day of presentations and entertainment, finished with an evening gala.

The dramatic stage comprised a back wall measured 16.2 meters by 8.4 meters high, the side returns were an additional 5.4 m by 8.4 m each and two 7.8 m by 8.4 m IMAG displays completed the stage, all powered by three Brompton Tessera SX40 processors connected to the LED panels via Brompton Tessera XD data distribution units. These fixtures framed the spectacular entertainment from the house gospel choir and solo artists, and also displayed information for upcoming product releases and relayed live footage as well as remote video calls.

The signal path was planned and optimised to ensure efficient routing and minimise latency. A redundant fibre loop was also established to connect the ROE LED panels to the Tessera SX40 processors. This loop provided a backup signal path in case of failure at any point in the primary signal path.

“OSCA (On-Screen Colour Adjustment) was utilised for fixture-based seam adjustments, allowing the content to seamlessly blend across all the screens, including the 16.2 metre back wall”, says Gruszeckyj. “When in OSCA mode, the interface appears directly on the LED fixture, showing mouse position and highlighting the selected elements that are being adjusted. The colour balancing option also came in useful when displaying large images of the products.”
