Ross Video Emphasises
Customer Choice

R

oss Video is exhibiting a host of new
products and a clear message about the
importance of customer choice at booth 4K201.
According to Andrew Tan, Ross Video's
Director of Sales for APAC, there is an
increasingly visible disconnect in the industry
between what vendors want to sell, and what
customers need to buy.
"Too many vendors are emphasising allIP-based workflows at present because it
suits them, whereas in truth, IP is not always
the right or most appropriate choice for a
customer.
"Ross continues to invest in new products
in the SDI and 12G domains because we
understand that many customers are looking
for accessible and relatively straightforward
upgrade paths that do not require a wholesale
change of infrastructure or legacy hardware.
"Of course, we have solutions for
customers who are ready to make the jump
to IP now, and we're very happy to help those
customers achieve the efficiency benefits
that IP can bring, but IP isn't the only way to
achieve efficiency.

"We know that a great many customers
around the region are not yet ready to take
that step - these customers need to know that
they have other options, that migration to IP is
not obligatory and that obsolescence should
not be a concern."
Over the last 12 months, Ross has
championed Software Defined Production
(SDP), a production philosophy that
advocates content creators using whatever
transport method is most appropriate for the
specific project at hand.
Jeff Moore, Ross Video's Executive Vice
President and CMO, believes SDP represents
the best of Ross. "As a framework, SDP is
pragmatic and customer-focused. It allows
customers to migrate towards IP in stages
through software-enabled and gateway
products. It also recognises that customers
have many ongoing creative, technical and
business challenges that IP cannot solve.
"We dislike the idea of customers being
orphaned or left-behind so we want to offer
the broadest possible range of solutions,
giving customers choices rather than forcing
them down one single path."

A variety of Ross products are on show,
including the company's flagship Acuity
production switcher and XPression real-time
graphics platform.
In addition, Ross is demonstrating a number
of its latest product launches, including
Ultrix-FR5, the latest 5RU version of the
disruptive routing/AV processing platform.
Ultrix FR-5 offers audio/video routing,
clean/quiet switching on every output, audio
embedding/de-embedding, discrete audio
via MADI I/O, input frame synchronisers,
UHD gearboxing and up to 24 independent
MultiViewers, each capable of supporting up
to 100 unique PIPs per head, all unified in one
single chassis.
The XPression Tessera is the innovative
engine that allows you to scale broadcast
video and populate massive displays and
video walls of any shape or size.
The Carbonite Mosaic is a new compositing
tool that can output a canvas size of over 20
million pixels. Carbonite Mosaic provides the
high resolution and layering capability needed
to create epic large-screen imagery in any
entertainment or sports venue, at half the
price of competitive offerings.
The Abekas Mira replay server and
AirCleaner profanity delay system is also

Andrew Tan, Director of Sales, APAC

on display, as is a new flypack based on the
integrated Graphite all-in-one production
vehicle, ideal for OB and mobile production
use.
"APAC is a very diverse region that is home
to a kaleidoscope of customers, and that
always makes for a vibrant event," said Tan.
"We're bringing some very positive messages
to the market and we've got great solutions
for almost every kind of content creator, so
I'm sure we'll be busier than ever."
