Rob had when he came in,” he added, bringing Brompton Technology’s Business Development Manager, Rob Fowler, into the conversation. “We became so closely associated with the rental house, it took some hard work to persuade other rental companies that we weren’t just a VER product,” Mead commented. However, while the VER deal was undoubtedly an early success, Mead reflected that it also presented a challenge. “Essentially, they pre-ordered our entire first run of the product – and for a company doing R&D, knowing that you’ve already sold out before you’ve even finished making it is really helpful.” By the start of 2013, Brompton Technology’s LED processing was being used by VER on the biggest live televised show of the year: The Academy Awards – “That was quite a stressful weekend!” Mead recalled. “We started a collaboration with VER,” Mead explained. “If you’re dealing with an LED video wall made up of hundreds or even thousands of individual panels, where do you plug in the video? We give the user somewhere to plug in the video that can take the signal, split it for all the individual panels, transmit it to the panels and make sure it displays in a nice, synchronised image – and do all that really quickly.” To that end, the first product to emerge from Brompton Technology’s R&D department in 2012 was the Tessera M2 – the company’s flagship HD LED processor – along with its first receiver card. Th e Managing Director continued on how his company found its niche. “We had originally planned to diversify into other areas of video, but we were so successful that it became the first and the last,” Mead commented. “We have made a habit of looking for niche markets that we don’t feel are being served well enough.” The first application the company explored was LED video processing. Who told us they had inadequate kit for working in live events,” Mead explained, when asked about the motivation for starting Brompton Technology.
