Pebble Beach Systems Teams Up With Ross Video

Pebble Beach Systems has announced a partnership with Ross Video. The agreement sees Ross Video offer the Ross XPression render engine as a graphics plug-in available within Pebble's channel playout products.

Running on Pebble Beach System's Dolphin and Orca integrated playout systems, the XPression plugin will be demonstrated at NAB 2017, Booth SL6320.

Offering real-time 3D graphic playout to air, the XPression render engine enables Ross users to continue to use Ross creative software tools and current workflows with playout hosted on Pebble's Dolphin or Orca software-defined channels. Pre-existing graphics and workflows are all supported and can be migrated across.

"We've been approached by several North American broadcasters who, having seen our integrations with other vendors, asked whether it might be possible for us to do something with Ross Video," said Tom Gittins, CEO of Pebble Beach Systems. "This new plug-in partnership with Ross supports our strategy of offering best-of-breed technologies within a pure software environment."

"The importance of channel branding and graphics in general cannot be understated," said Patrick Twomey, Director of XPression Product Management. "As broadcasters seek to integrate graphics workflows into pure software and virtualized environments, our integration of XPression with Pebble gives our customers a no-compromise, future-ready solution."
