Brompton Hydra calibration breathes new life into Rentex’s LED panel inventory

Brompton Technology has deployed its Hydra advanced measurement system through its partner Red Rock OPS to revitalise Rentex’s LED panel inventory. Red Rock OPS, a Las Vegas-based consulting firm which specialises in live overlays, colour calibration, and broadcast services, used Brompton’s calibration technology to enhance the performance of the nationwide AV rental provider’s existing LED panels and extend their lifespan.

“Rentex came to us because their current product was coming to the end of its lifespan”, says Angel Banchs, Owner and Lead Colour Engineer at Red Rock OPS. “We went to their Las Vegas facility and started calibrating panels.” The calibration process has given Rentex’s ROE BP2 and BP2V2 panels a new lease of life. The company supplies events of all sizes and scales, with customers including Encore, Freemans, PRG, and more.

“Rentex is a great use case because they rent to so many industries”, notes Banchs. “You might get some panels used for XR, you might get some for general convention, and general sessions nowadays are really focused on panel colour and performance, so that’s really important.” Sergio Sandoval, Senior Product Manager for LED & Projection at Rentex AV Rentals, adds: “Extending the ROI of a product that’s already five or six years old for another five years makes a huge impact for us.”

“Although it’s a five-year-old product, and these tiles had been discontinued when Hydra was created, Hydra extends their life and adds so many more features that weren’t available when the panel was first purchased”, explains Banchs. “Now they have Extended Bit Depth on black, HDR capability, and a bunch of other features that Brompton has made available.”

The Hydra system’s portability brings both economic and environmental benefits. “In terms of sustainability the system is compact, but powerful, so I can fly the rig to their offices, which saves everyone revenue by not having to fly the tiles across the country”, says Banchs. Sandoval adds: “On top of that, sometimes tiles are needed in a location by a certain deadline, so calibrating them locally is the best solution for us.”

Following the successful initial calibration, Rentex is working to consolidate its panels from twelve locations to facilitate comprehensive calibration of its entire inventory.
