Ross Video has announced the release of XPression Version 11.5, the latest update to its fast-growing real-time motion graphics engine.
As an integral part of video production and graphics workflows worldwide, XPression is used by individual stations and hub-and-spoke station groups across network news, sports, entertainment, and corporate productions.
With the addition of cloud-based workflows and the continued growth of enterprise workflow deployment, XPression Version 11.5 brings SHA-512 hashing security to the XPression Project Server workflows. Access to protected data sources across the internet now requires API Keys, OAuth2, or AES Encryption, demonstrating Ross Video’s commitment to delivering secure communications and expanded data access.
“Our customers’ ability to protect their XPression systems and content, under any circumstances, is foremost on our mind,” explained Patrick Twomey, Director of Graphics Product Management.
“Adding secure protocols to their content, and the ability to securely access third-party data to supplement their video productions, is critical to their success, and ours.”
Enhancements to the XPression Visual Logic workflow include new logic blocks for String Match and String Selector to provide additional access to advanced functions while allowing for data evaluation and parsing without requiring complex scripting. This brings even more powerful data tools to end users who may be uncomfortable in the scripting environment offered by other solutions.
Newsroom users will find additional features in the HTML5 XPression MOS client for searching and previewing Clips assets and adding them to a MOS-enabled newsroom rundown. This latest version also offers enhanced background tools for maintaining communication to the XPression Gateway over less-than-ideal network connectivity.
Ross Video powers high-impact video experiences around the world. Headquartered in Canada, with 20 global offices and 1,400 employees, the company works in broadcast news, sports stadiums and concert venues, education, legislative, corporate and more.
