Tessera SX40

FOR BIG, BOLD & BETTER PROJECTS

The 4K Tessera SX40 LED processor combines our industry-leading feature set and easy-to-use software interface with our highest-ever capacity processor. Tessera SX40 offers support for full 4K screens at 60Hz with 12 bits per colour output. It supports a zero-latency up/down scaler that matches the source to the screen as well as all of Tessera’s industry-leading processing features. These include HDR and Dynamic Calibration as well as Extended Bit Depth, HFR+ (High Frame Rate), Frame Remapping, and more. Additionally, Stacking can be used to control multiple SX40 processors as one. It is compatible with all existing Tessera fixture inventory. Used in combination with the Tessera XD Distribution unit, the SX40 provides a cost-effective and powerful system for supporting the biggest and boldest LED projects.

POWERFUL TESSERA FEATURE SET

XD_SX40

TESSERA XD DISTRIBUTION UNIT

The Tessera XD 10G data distribution unit works seamlessly with the Tessera SX40 LED processor to deliver a flexible, sophisticated single box solution designed specifically to easily and cost-effectively support the biggest LED projects.

The Tessera SX40 processor and Tessera XD data distribution unit support both copper and single mode optical fibre trunk connections, and the Tessera XD can be used to convert between the two media.

Trunk connections between a Tessera SX40 and Tessera XD, or between Tessera XD units, use a 10G Ethernet-based backbone to reduce the number of home-run connections required.

CUSTOM INPUT RESOLUTIONS

Unusual shows have unusual content. With the Tessera SX40 you can build a screen of almost any size and dimension and be sure that your content plays beautifully on it.

For complete flexibility and creative control, the Tessera SX40 processor accepts custom input resolutions.

REDUNDANCY

Redundancy delivers ultimate peace of mind for users by introducing an auto-failover mechanism that allows a back-up processor to take over in just a few seconds.

Tessera LED processors can be fed from the same or independent video sources, with different formats, resolutions, and/or frame rates.

There’s no requirement for any aspect of the sources to match – redundancy will ensure a near-seamless show even in the event of a power or cable failure.

Dragonfly

R2 RECEIVER CARD

The R2 Receiver Card is the most powerful Tessera receiver card ever, supporting a 262k pixel capacity, making it perfect for all types of LED panels.
