Ross Video Acquires ADS

Ross Video has acquired Automated Data Systems (ADS) of La Crosse, Wisconsin in the US.

ADS provides solutions for data delivery, automation and broadcast production requirements and its main product line is EZNews.
EZNews is a newsroom editorial system used by television journalists to produce newscasts and includes features like script writing, teleprompting and graphics automation.
"EZNews is popular among colleges and universities training broadcast journalists for the industry – a very important long term customer base for Ross," said David Ross, CEO, Ross Video.
"We will also continue to support EZPrompt, a popular, low cost windows based teleprompting software system with over 6,000 customers. This is a great step for Ross. We look forward to the opportunity to grow even more into the newsroom market – and also welcoming three new staff from ADS to the Ross mix.
"This is an exciting step for everyone at ADS, and I look forward to transitioning EZNews and our ADS customer base over to Ross," said Bill Sacia, former President of EZNews.
"We bring with us a wide range of experience in journalism, broadcast management, computer system sales and support, and software development – the perfect fit for Ross and the Inception product line."
