When using an XPression Maps Database shared across multiple XPression Maps Designers, it has not been possible to delete a Drawing Tool Group. However, more and more users on one database means that temporary Drawing Tool Groups may get added to an XPression Maps database, which eventually need to be deleted. Now, there is a way to delete them with XPression Maps 3.2.2 Build 11682 or higher.

XPression supports a Windows Capture Shader, which allows the XPression user to display the contents of a window on their computer as a material on any geometry in their XPression scene. This can be a web browser, Video Chat Tools, or any application on their computer. Best practice for this would be dual monitors on the XPression engine so that the desired window isn’t covered up by the XPression user interface.

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.

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.
