In Version 11.0, we have enhanced the user experience for Mac OS users working with the HTML5 MOS client. Users can now preview Clips content inside the HTML5 MOS Client before adding it to their scripts. Simply select a Clip asset by clicking on it, and then clicking on it in the preview pane will allow the user to watch a proxy video with sound.

The XPression Maps Templates used in the XPression MOS Workflow were designed for the artist to define the starting flight point and letting the newsroom user search for the end point. This means that there are several templates for doing a map.

One of the most important parts of branding is consistency. When creating mapping content for your viewers, it is important to show them common locations the same way, most of the time. If you want your local maps to start with the same point of view each time, consider creating a bookmark to allow your XPression Maps Designers to use the same location each time. In this video, we explain XPression Maps Bookmarks to create a consistent reference point every time.

The XPression MOS client allows users to select between two (or more) XPression Gateway Servers on their network. Now the NLE users can do the same thing! Allow editors in a duopoly to participate in both newsrooms and let them collaborate with both newsrooms too.

MOS enabled newsrooms have freed the control room up from the chaos of frantic live control rooms, by allowing producers to create and schedule their own content. However, some shows are still so “live” they don’t follow a rundown. Now it is possible to export a snapshot the rundown as a CSV file, to allow the producers to see a list of graphics and Take IDs from a specific show and timeframe.

Remote Sequencer users can create, modify, or delete graphics Take Items, and now with Version 11, it is possible to also move Clips assets in the rundown, change the order of Clips assets, or even move two or more of them at one time.

The XPression Project Server can handle a lot of file transfers in busy stations. For station groups with a central XPression Project Server which can share XPression Projects to multiple locations for breaking news and other critical productions, now it is possible to keep an eye on file transfers in either direction.

The new Text Object Property for Published Value allows for a value to be pushed to a text object, but also allows for users in XPression or the XPression MOS Client to overwrite the value, if things change. This is a critical fix, since Visual Logic runs any time the XPression scene is rendered, making the original way XPression handled data from XMP or other sources non-negotiable. Now it is possible to update a value.

When creating a copy of an existing XPression Take Item in the Sequencer, it is now possible to select the Take ID, as well as define the location of the new Take ID in the Sequencer.

News requires a high standard of accuracy and is often questioned about grammatical choices. In some countries, the requirement to add some text in Superscript or underline is very important, and often one of the most critical parts of news graphics. XPression now supports the use of underline, superscript and subscript in text to make your graphics as accurate as possible.
