XPression is the fastest growing real-time motion graphics generation system in the industry today.
Built from the ground up to be a 3D system, XPression also fully supports 2D workflows, including clips, and seamlessly composites real-time 3D animation with media assets from today’s hottest design applications. – Whether you need graphics for news, sports, entertainment, branding, information channels, virtual sets, or augmented reality there’s an XPression edition that’s right for you.
Ross Video is introducing a powerful new hardware platform For XPression Studio, BlueBox and Clips, in a high efficiency 1RU form factor. Fitting into the physical space is one thing; the XPression 1RU also sneaks into spaces normally reserved for laptop and desktop towers, with a sound level at or below 54dB which is quieter than normal conversation levels.
Choose either XPression Studio or BlueBox; available as Single Channel Edition or the XPression Standard Edition for a three channel (Video/Key) configuration. XPression Clips configurations available on this hardware configuration include single channel (Video/Key) or Dual Channel (Video/Key). This small footprint 1RU form factor can have a high impact on productions large or small, without taking up much room.
This innovative 1RU configuration supports up to three channels (Video/Key) in 1080P 60 for XPression Studio or BlueBox in HD-SDI or now with NDI™
Ross Video XPression Engines are now available in three form factors, 1RU, 2RU and 4RU. After polling a wide range of existing XPression customers, we found many were not using physical GPIs and favored the RossTalk™ Smart GPI protocol. AES was another feature that many customers were not using. Even fewer customers needed the Longitudinal Time-Code Input. For those customers, the XPression 1RU and 2RU platforms offer all the functionality they need.
The 1RU allows for up to 3 channels (Video/Key) of HD-SDI 1080P and a whisper quiet 54 dB sound level.
The 2RU HD-SDI platform offers up to four channels (Video/Key) of 1080P or 1 channel (Video/Key) of Quad-link UHD/4K. For customers interested in the 2RU platform in SMPTE ST 2022-6, 2022-7 or 2110 IP production workflows will find dual 10G SFG cages (SFPs not included) for two channels (Video/Key) of 1080P IP capability.
For the customers who do need AES, physical GPIs and L Longitudinal Time-Code Input, the XPression 4RU platform options provide for HD-SDI, 12G or IP, using dual 25G SFP Cages (SFPs not included) for video I/O configurations of leading edge video production of 1080P or UHD/4K.
