Tessera S4 LED Processor
Introduction

BUILT FOR LARGE SCREENS

​
S4 is the workhorse of the range - perfect for large, high resolution screens.
 
Value-optimised, S4 sacrifices creative features while retaining Tessera's class-leading quality and control.

Tech Specs
INPUTS

DVI-D

with reclocked thru port

​

Up to 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz (148.5MHz pixel clock).


Support for RGB and YCbCr colour spaces.

 

HDMI support with suitable adapter. No HDCP support.

OUTPUTS

4 x 1G Tessera output ports

 

Each supports a nominal 525K pixels at 8 bits per colour, 60Hz frame rate.

10 and 12 bits per colour output is supported at reduced pixel counts.

Pixel count may be reduced for certain fixture types.

​

Neutrik EtherCON connectors, compatible with standard RJ45.

FRONT-END PROCESSING

All processing at 12 bits per colour channel (36 bits per pixel)

​

Per-input proc-amp style colour controls with histogram preview

​

Controls include hue, saturation, brightness, contrast and individual red, green and blue shadow and highlight.

​

Full HD 1920x1080 standard canvas

 

Optional non-standard canvas sizes: 1600x1200, 2880x720, 720x2880, 1080x1920

FIXTURE PROCESSING

Free placement of fixtures anywhere in the canvas

​

Free rotation of fixtures to 0Ëš, 90Ëš, 180Ëš or 270Ëš

​

Multiple fixture types per project

​

Nominal 2.1 million pixel capacity

​

Nominal capacity at 60Hz frame rate and 8 bits per colour output. Capacity increases proportionally for lower frame rates and decreases proportionally for 10 or 12 bits per colour output.

​

Fixtures smaller than 16px in either dimension have additional processing overhead and therefore result in reduced capacity.

​

Up to 2000 fixtures per project

GENLOCK

Lock to source

​

Genlock from source to the LED refresh

LATENCY

2 frames end-to-end system latency with all features enabled

​

Latency is measured in multiples of the frame rate period of the genlock source.

USER INTERFACE

Local management using monitor, keyboard and mouse

​

DP++ monitor output supports DVI, HDMI and VGA using a suitable adapter. Monitors from 1280x1024 up to 1920x1080 are supported.

​

2 x USB2.0 on front and 2 x USB 2.0 on rear for keyboard and mouse. Can also be used for USB memory sticks for firmware reload and project backup.

​

Remote management from Tessera Remote on Windows PC or Mac OS X via management network ports

​

1 x Gigabit Ethernet management network port, also used for live control (see below). Neutrik EtherCON connector, compatible with standard RJ45.

​

5 x status LEDs and power LED on front

​

Illuminated freeze and Blackout buttons on front

LIVE CONTROL
