OCTOPUS6 Expands Graphic Options With XPression

OCTOPUS Newsroom and Ross Video has announced that they have entered into a new technology partnership together.
The partnership followed successful tests of OCTOPUS6 newsroom computer system and XPression graphics system which are integrated through the industry standard MOS protocol. As a result of the new integration, users are now able to select templates, edit text, replace graphics, and see full-motion previews of XPression graphics directly in the OCTOPUS6 interface.
Jan Pulpan, CTO of OCTOPUS Newsroom, said: "We always try to offer the most flexible and reliable solution to our customers and we believe that alliance with Ross Video will be very beneficial for them. We are very pleased to announce this new partnership and we are looking forward to working with Ross Video on our future joint projects."
Brian Olson, Marketing Product Manager for XPression at Ross Video, said: "We're very excited to be working with OCTOPUS. As one of the top players in the newsroom computer systems business, they have been on our radar for quite some time. Having an OCTOPUS6-compliant ActiveX plug-in allows us to make the transition to an XPression MOS workflow seamless for OCTOPUS users."
