Ease Live Integrates With
Ross Video Graphic Systems
T

V experience company Sixty has
announced that its recentlylaunched interactive graphics solution
Ease Live is now fully integrated
with Ross Video's broadcast graphics
system XPression and DashBoard.
"The integration of Ease Live
with Ross Video's systems takes
existing Ross control room live sports
streaming workflows into account,"
said Henriette Sæther, CCO at Sixty.
Sixty Ease Live integrates with Ross
Video graphics systems

"This means that broadcasters
do not need any additional staff,
hardware or any other resources when
implementing the Ease Live plug-in.
Ross Video customers will be able to
renew their content offering with new
interactive graphics and design."
Sixty's goal for Ease Live is to
make it support all major online
graphics application and character
generation
systems,
enabling

broadcasters regardless of technical
setup to provide their customers with
interactive on-air graphics. "We're
proud and delighted to strengthen our
cooperation with Ross Video," Sæther
concluded.
Ease Live is an innovative solution
that integrates with broadcast
graphics systems and enables
interactive, clickable on-air graphics
for tablets and other smart devices.
It also allows broadcasters to send
statistics, highlights, and other
compelling information from their
graphics systems directly to the endusers. Ease Live enables both money
and time to be saved by simplifying
and speeding up the creative process,
and minimising resource requirements
within the distribution flow.
Ease Live can be used by any
broadcast system and online video
platform to unify the linear and online
TV experience with one brand and
design experience, while enabling

on-air graphics to come to life in the
hands of the audience. It also allows
end users to interact with the pool of
data and statistics that has previously
only been seen and curated by
producers in the editing room.
"By partnering with Sixty," said Jim
Doyle, Director of Creative Services at
Ross Video, "we enable broadcasters
to keep ahead of innovation and let
them serve their customers with
solutions that meet the desire for more
content, more flexibility and more
freedom to enhance and customise
their TV experience."
The Ross Video line of real-time
motion graphics systems, clip servers,
workflow tools, and purpose-built
software
applications
provides
customers with competitive advantage,
delivering complete solutions for
the most demanding tasks in news,
elections,
sports,
entertainment,
branding, touchscreen, social media,
virtual sets, or augmented reality.
