The half most suppliers buy in, we build ourselves

A dvLED display is only as good as the system driving it. We develop and manufacture its own control system, ERMAC, so color, detail and security are engineered together with the panel rather than bolted on afterward.

Our own control system, developed and made in Europe

ERMAC is our proprietary, fully European developed and manufactured dvLED control system. It integrates the Color Space Engine, which ensures a Pantone validated color reproduction on all TRUE XF+ displays, for projects where color and detail accuracy and system security come first.

ERMAC SPU-32 dvLED control and processing system by TRUE Performance

No foreign logic inside

Every part of the system that processes data is ours: the ERMAC processor, the LSC distributors, the receiving cards and the driver logic on the module. No foreign logic anywhere in the signal path. ERMAC itself is developed and built in Germany, a fully European component of the finished display.

The Color Space Engine

Calibration intelligence that holds color across brightness levels and across production batches, so the picture stays true from source to pixel.

Pantone validated reproduction

ERMAC delivers a Pantone validated color reproduction on TRUE XF+ panels, the foundation of reference grade accuracy.

One panel, not any panel

Most control systems are built to drive as many different panels as possible, somehow. ERMAC is built to drive one specific panel perfectly, as a single product for a single project. That is a different engineering goal, and it shows on the wall.

Color Space Engine

Calibrated in the booth, held on the wall

The Color Space Engine keeps a Pantone validated reproduction steady across brightness levels and across production batches, so what you approve is what you see.

From processor to panel, one engineered path

A finished picture is the whole chain working as one. The ERMAC processor sets and holds the image, the signal converter feeds every panel cleanly, and the panels render it. Because each link is our own, calibration and timing carry through from end to end, with nothing lost between vendors.

The complete ERMAC signal chain: control PC, ERMAC SPU-32 processor, LSC signal distribution, LSC power supply, receiving card and dvLED display

The complete signal chain: control PC → ERMAC SPU-32 → LSC signal distribution → receiving card → dvLED display. Every component engineered by TRUE.

Inside the ERMAC SPU-32

Precision you can explain

Entirely made in Europe, the ERMAC SPU-32 combines a powerful signal processing engine with advanced color management, automatic calibration and true fiber based connectivity. High frame rates, deep bit depth and Pantone validated color accuracy, from meeting rooms to virtual production volumes and automotive design studios.

Color Space Engine

A sophisticated algorithm that understands the exact behavior of each specific LED batch and controls those LEDs with full precision, creating a color space calibration inside the display. It eliminates manual color adjustments on the wall and enables accurate reproduction of Pantone colors at every brightness level and in any environment.

26 bit internal processing

The foundation for exceptional detail accuracy: the processor works with far more internal levels than the incoming signal itself, which preserves subtle color transitions and prevents banding or detail loss. Even at low brightness, every tone, highlight and shadow is represented smoothly and consistently.

Fully modular I/O

Configurable input and output slots support DisplayPort, HDMI, SDI, ST 2110, fiber optic and Ethernet modules, with audio carried over the fiber link, so the same processor adapts to broadcast infrastructures, IT environments and long distance fiber runs alike.

240 Hz Multiview, 480 Hz ready

One dvLED display shows two completely different image streams at the same time, each perfectly synchronized. Two viewers, two contents, one wall, a capability unique to the ERMAC platform, with the architecture ready for 480 Hz.

Smart Gamma and HDR

PQ and HLG high dynamic range with PQ to HLG transformation, plus regular, BT1886 and custom gamma correction, so content grades translate faithfully to the wall.

The wall reports back

A feedback link carries live diagnostics from every cabinet: operating state, temperature and voltages, plus light sensor readings for automatic brightness control. Faults surface before anyone sees them on screen.

It gives users full confidence that their dvLED display operates exactly as intended, with exceptional uniformity, accuracy and long term performance.

The right control for the job

Not every project needs a proprietary system. When the priority is a broad ecosystem of compatible hardware, or a flexible, software driven setup, We also deliver and support solutions built on NovaStar and Colorlight. You get the control platform that fits the project, backed by the same European engineering and support.

NovaStar dvLED control hardware supplied and supported by TRUE Performance

NovaStar based solutions

Widely used across the industry for their accessibility and large ecosystem of compatible hardware, a strong fit where broad support and scalability lead the requirements.

Colorlight dvLED control hardware supplied and supported by TRUE Performance

Colorlight based solutions

A flexible, software driven approach to driving dvLED displays, well suited to projects that value adaptability in the workflow.

FAQ

Control system questions

What is the ERMAC control system?

ERMAC is TRUE’s own control and processing system, fully developed and manufactured in Europe. Its Color Space Engine delivers a Pantone validated color reproduction on TRUE XF+ panels, holding Delta E below 2 in standard applications and below 1 where a design studio demands it. Every part of it that processes data is ours, with no foreign logic in the signal path.

Do you only work with your own control system?

No. ERMAC is our own and our primary system, and we also deliver and support solutions built on NovaStar and Colorlight when a project calls for them, so you get the right control for the job rather than a single answer.

Why does owning the control system matter?

Color, detail and security depend on the control system and the panel behaving as one. When we develop both, we calibrate and secure them together, which is not possible when the two halves come from separate vendors.
