Operating in Southeast Asia, and with a presence in Malaysia and the Philippines, Symunity Group encompasses brands such as ARK Ventures, Takenaka, and, most recently, SolidWater. As a valued partner of Brompton Technology and a key strategic partner of ROE Visual – a Diamond Manufacturer partner in Brompton’s Partner Programme – Symunity Group’s projects span multiple sectors, including virtual production, broadcast, corporate, and live entertainment.
An ambitious growth trajectory, including moving its Takenaka Nagoya sales office to Nakamura Ward, Kamejima due to business expansion, and establishing SolidWater in Manila, Philippines, means it is more important than ever for the Group to maintain a high level of service across all brands. In line with this, Brompton Technology’s Tessera LED processors are the preferred solution for its rental, system design and integration needs, offering unmatched reliability and functionality.
“With our roots dating back to 1926, Symunity Group is nearing a century in business,” says Symunity Group’s Managing Director, Takenaka Hideaki. “To continue delivering the exceptional service our customers have come to expect from us, while expanding into new markets, our solutions need to be robust, multifunctional, and of the highest quality. Brompton LED processing ticks all those boxes, offering a solution that is not only reliable but future-proof.”
ARK Ventures, Takenaka, and SolidWater are all leveraging Brompton’s industry-leading Tessera hardware and software offerings, including advanced Tessera features like Frame Store, Test Pattern, ShutterSync®, Frame Remapping, Hidden Markers, and Dark Time Insertion to deliver extraordinary experiences.
At the Tiffany Wonder exhibition in Tokyo, Japan, this collaborative approach allowed Symunity Group to integrate Brompton’s processing power with Ark Ventures’ media technology solutions and Takenaka’s installation expertise. This seamless synergy created an immersive environment that maximized the brand’s storytelling and audience engagement. The exhibition has received glowing reviews and will welcome visitors at its next destination in Milan, Italy, later this year.
Takenaka Hideaki, adds: “Working together with our friends at ARK Ventures, we were able to offer an additional layer of ‘sparkle’ and sophistication to Tiffany’s latest brand exhibition by utilising high-quality LED screens and industry-leading Brompton LED processing.”
Brompton has cemented its position as the leader in LED processing for live performances and, since 2020, in virtual production and XR infrastructure. David Oh, Managing Director/CTO at ARK Ventures, notes: “We continue using Tessera processors because they offer a plethora of features that work incredibly well for our clients, and which they find essential for their day-to-day virtual production and XR workflows. Brompton just works. Seamlessly. Efficiently. Every single time! As one of the most powerful LED processors on the market, particularly for rental and VP stages, we are proud to be able to supply them and our support to the market.”
From South Korea’s national broadcaster KBS launching its first XR/VP studio, to VA Corporation’s VA STUDIO HANAM – home to one of Korea’s largest LED walls – to advanced VP and XR stages built for NP and NIPA, and G-WORKS’ SITE V, the largest photography studio in Japan’s Chugoku and Shikoku regions, Symunity Group companies are pushing the industry forward, elevating technologies like virtual production to new heights.
“VP is rapidly becoming a must-have technology in the global creative industry,” says Shinya Tanigawa, COO at ARK Ventures Japan. “It’s already an indispensable tool for Hollywood, leveraging the incredible quality and scale of LED displays to offer time- and cost-efficient production solutions.”
Elijah Ebo, Brompton’s Director of APAC Operations, concludes: “We are honoured to be the LED video processing choice for Symunity Group’s diverse projects. Our Tessera processors empower companies to deliver exceptional results across a range of industries, from live events and broadcast to cutting-edge virtual production setups. We look forward to supporting their continued expansion with solutions that drive creativity and visual excellence.”
