Tailored for the demands of the modern newsroom environment, Raiden facilitates collaboration across departments.
Ross Video has introduced Raiden, a data-driven weather graphics software aimed at enabling newsrooms to enhance their storytelling with more immersive real-time weather content.
In its first release, Raiden introduces weather graphics to the XPression toolbox, seamlessly integrating with existing production workflows through an intuitive web-based tool. This feature empowers meteorologists to collaborate with producers and designers in preparing weather and climate content from anywhere.
Tailored for the dynamic demands of modern newsroom environments, Raiden fosters collaboration across departments. The Icelandic National Broadcasting Service (RUV) became the first adopter of the Raiden system in their newsroom. Gisli Berg, Head of Production at RUV, lauded the software and said: “Raiden has revolutionised our approach to weather storytelling by eliminating the constraints of our previous system. Our news and weather teams now collaborate more effectively to produce higher-quality content. The ability to access and prepare content from anywhere has streamlined the team’s workflow.”
Raiden’s comprehensive toolset empowers meteorologists and content creators to craft compelling weather narratives. The software seamlessly acquires, processes, and visualises preferred weather data from a diverse range of sources for the XPression graphics engine.
A user-friendly web-based Interface enables users to quickly build or update a weather story and rundown from anywhere for live production
An XPression Plugin with DataLinq enables broadcasters to design and operate news and weather content from a single graphics engine.
Boromy Ung, Senior Director – Product Management and Business Development – Graphics, added: “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.”
