Ross Video Announces XPression Studio GO! and Bluebox GO!

Industry’s most powerful laptop graphics solution gets two new versions

Friday April 4, 2014 [Iroquois, Ontario, Canada] – Today, Ross Video launched XPression Studio GO! and XPression Bluebox GO!, two new versions of the powerful laptop graphics solution: XPression Prime GO!

XPression Studio GO! delivers fully-featured creation and playback software. For customers who want to use custom applications, such as score bugs, on a laptop there is XPression BlueBox GO! Both versions support video input.

When XPression Prime, Studio or Bluebox GO! is coupled with a Ross switcher of any kind, there is no compression of graphics into an IP stream—and, therefore, no slow recall times or loss of image quality. Graphics can be switched frame-accurately with switcher effects, score clocks can be integrated easily, and graphics can be written directly from XPression into the switcher’s mediastores for “additional” graphics channels.

“Due to the popularity of XPression Prime GO!, we decided to offer GO! versions of all XPression software,” says Brian Olson, Director of Graphics Marketing Product Management for Ross Video. “XPression GO! is the industry’s most powerful, fully 3D, portable solution on the market today. With an ASUS PC laptop and AJA Io XT Thunderbolt interface, XPression GO! outputs HDSDI video, key and audio. With these GO! systems you can produce high-quality, fast-recall graphics for an entire program quickly and easily.”
