Procurement

Sourcing and supply of production-grade hardware, specced to the Synapse standard.

Sourcing and supply of production-grade hardware, specced to the Synapse standard.

Spec First.

We source to a specification, not a shopping list. LED tiles, processors, render nodes, rigging, IT, and tracking are chosen to work as one system. The spec protects performance before it protects price.

Direct Lines.

Long-standing vendor relationships get you production-grade hardware at competitive cost. We buy the same gear we install and stand behind. You get pricing and lead times a first-time buyer cannot.

See The Standard.

Every component we source is specced to the Synapse benchmark and checked on arrival. Nothing enters a build that would not pass our own commissioning. You buy hardware that is ready to perform.

Synapse sources and supplies production-grade hardware for LED volume builds: tiles, processors, render nodes, rigging, IT infrastructure and tracking systems, specified to work as one system and bought through long-standing vendor relationships.

Specification before shopping list

Buying a volume component by component from the best price on each line produces a stage that does not work. Tile batches vary, processors and render nodes have to agree on timing and color management, tracking has to match the render pipeline, and rigging has to match the engineered load. We source to a specification where every component is chosen for how it behaves with the others.

The spec protects performance before it protects price.

Direct lines, real lead times

Synapse has built relationships across LED, broadcast, live event and IT supply over years of buying for our own builds. That gets clients production-grade hardware at competitive cost and, more importantly, honest lead times. On a build with a shoot date attached, knowing that a tile order genuinely lands in eight weeks is worth more than a better price that arrives in sixteen.

We buy what we install

The gear we source is the gear we install and stand behind on our own stages. That constraint keeps procurement honest: nothing gets specified that we would not want to commission, operate and support ourselves.

What we source

  • LED tiles: pitch, brightness, color gamut and refresh matched to the application
  • Video processing: processors and redundancy for the wall size
  • Render nodes: compute sized for the engine, the resolution and the frame rate
  • Rigging: all requisite structure and mounting hardware
  • IT hardware and infrastructure: network, storage and support systems
  • Tracking systems: camera tracking matched to the pipeline

Checked on arrival

Everything is checked against the specification when it lands rather than when it fails. Nothing enters a build that would not pass our own commissioning, which is the point at which a procurement problem becomes an expensive schedule problem.
