Ross Video has announced an agreement to acquire Bannister Lake Software, aiming to enhance its graphics solutions offer. Bannister Lake’s portfolio includes a suite of HTML5 graphics creation and publication products that drive graphics to cloud-based playout and production applications.
The Bannister Lake Chameleon solution provides access to real-time data from a range of sources including news, sports, weather, elections, financial updates and more, enabling users to construct tickers, L-bars, snipes, web widgets and full frame graphics. Rendering can be into an HTML5 data stream or via Ross Video’s XPression Graphics Solution Set, a video stream or both at the same time, said the company.
David Ross, CEO of Ross Video, said: “We are excited to welcome the Bannister Lake Team and technology portfolio to Ross. We’ve enjoyed a close association with Bannister Lake for a long time and have been customers of each other. Bannister Lake includes XPression in their turnkey solutions, and Ross uses BL Soft’s technology in Ticker and Branding applications. This acquisition will unlock the opportunity to do even more together and expand the solution set we offer to our clients, especially in the realm of HTML5 graphics.”
