Ross Video углубляется в Raiden, графическое решение для метеорологии

Based on the XPression engine, Ross Video’s Raiden combines data collection, processing and visualization tools to deliver more dynamic weather and climate content with greater storytelling possibilities.

The first version of Raiden, unveiled at Ross Video’s Keynote at NAB 2024, brings a weather graphics package to the XPression toolbox and integrates with existing production workflows through an intuitive web-based tool. This will enable meteorologists to collaborate with producers and designers to prepare weather and climate content from “anywhere.”

Raiden counts among its most notable features its powerful data aggregation, which allows weather data to be acquired, processed and visualized from a wide variety of sources; its story creation tool, which can be quickly updated; or its integrated graphics system, as its XPression plugin с DataLinq allows broadcasters to design and operate news and weather content from a single graphics engine.

The Icelandic National Broadcasting Service (RÚV) was the first broadcaster to integrate Raiden into its newsroom. Gisli Berg, head of production, is very positive about the experience: “Raiden has transformed our approach to weather storytelling by removing the limitations of our old system. Our news and weather teams now collaborate more effectively to produce higher-quality content. And the ability to access and prepare content from anywhere has made the team’s job easier.”

Boromy Ung, senior director of product management and business development for Ross Video’s graphics business, is very positive about the transformation of the company’s portfolio with the arrival of Raiden: “Raiden is the latest addition to the innovative lineup of Ross Graphics solutions that already includes our XPression Real-Time Motion Graphics system, our PIERO Sports Analysis toolset and our Voyager Unreal-based Engine with the Lucid Control System. With Raiden, we strengthen an already robust ecosystem of products designed for the newsroom. It’s another example of our commitment to advancing our solutions to empower customers to create the most captivating content and maintain their competitive edge in the broadcasting industry.”
