UP Selects Brompton Technology

Brompton Technology has been chosen by Universal Pixels (UP), a UK-based award-winning provider of cutting-edge video solutions, to deliver the stunning visuals on Robbie Williams' BRITPOP Tour 2025.
The 14th concert tour by the English singer-songwriter, BRITPOP marks Williams' long-awaited return to stadiums and major outdoor venues in support of his upcoming 13th studio album. With creative direction by Kim Gavin, the show's ambitious design features 14 seamlessly integrated LED screens, brought together using Brompton's trusted LED processing to create a unified visual canvas.
"Brompton is tried and tested for us," commented Matthew Morris, Technical Specialist at Universal Pixels. "We've relied on its Tessera processors across many touring shows over the years, so the technology was familiar to us and the crew, delivered great reliability, and came with excellent support. For a large-scale and high-profile tour like this, Brompton was the natural choice."
To meet the creative brief, UP deployed a combination of ROE Visual V8T, V4ST, ROE strips and INFiLED ER5 panels, all powered by 4K Tessera SX40 LED processors. Ahead of the tour, UP calibrated its INFiLED ER5 inventory with Brompton’s Hydra advanced measurement system to standardise colour management across the different LED types. This allowed the entire system to perform as one consistent canvas, ensuring seamless visuals across all 14 screens.
The video system was further supported by two Disguise GX3 media servers, running on Disguise Designer and Live Grade Studio software to manage the complex visual workflow. A multi-camera package, comprising eight Panasonic UCX100 cameras and five Blackmagic Micro G2 Minis, ensured dynamic live capture that integrated seamlessly with the LED visuals.
With live colour grading a key part of the production, in addition to Brompton’s colour toolset, its API integration with third-party software was vital in ensuring Robbie looked his best throughout the show.
The team also benefited from Tessera's flexibility and real-time adjustment capabilities during the production period. "Creative changes were happening right up until the first show in Edinburgh," said Morris. "Being able to push test patterns and line-up grids from the processors meant different departments could work independently without delays. Brompton's reliability and resilience also ensured there were no hold-ups, even with last-minute adjustments."
"Universal Pixels has once again demonstrated what can be achieved when technical excellence and creative ambition come together on the global stage," concluded Patrick Goodden, Brompton's Technical Sales Manager (UK and Ireland). "We are proud that our Tessera LED processors played such an important role in delivering Robbie Williams’ BRITPOP Tour 2025, ensuring a reliable and flexible solution that helped bring this spectacular production to life."
