On this episode of Living Live with Ross Video, host Tyler Kern was joined by Jim Doyle, Ross Video Director of Creative Services.

Many TV stations deliver round-the-clock, well-produced live productions on Election Day – after all, it’s one of the biggest live production days of the year, and presidential races only heighten that interest.

But how can these stations ensure their offering is differentiated from the countless other options presented to viewers?

Ross Video’s Creative and Professional Services initiative, Rocket Surgery, gives TV stations a way to access innovative and cutting-edge solutions to captivate audiences and set productions apart.

Rocket Surgery offers graphic design in virtual reality and more, graphics integration with Ross Video platforms like XPression, virtual productions that leverage virtual reality and more, augmented reality and VR sets, and dashboard workflow design.

In election coverage, specifically, Doyle said preparation is perhaps the most critical factor.

“Primarily, preparation is important because, for a lot of TV stations, election coverage becomes their benchmark. It’s the thing that they measure their performance by,” he said. “Given that, if you’re a U.S. TV station, you know that you’re going to have a lot of viewers. … Why wouldn’t you plan ahead and plan early?

“Most of all, I like to start working with my customers as early as possible, so that we can come up with more creative ways to display your election data and your results data and really push the envelope.”

Essentially, Doyle said, the more lead time, the greater the ability to leverage innovative technologies like augmented reality to tell an in-depth, engaging story that goes beyond traditional election coverage.

ViewSonic now ships a 136-inch LED wall pitched to avoid permanent installs

ViewSonic now ships a 136-inch LED wall pitched to avoid permanent installs

ViewSonic's LDS136-152, a foldable 136-inch LED wall on wheels, is now shipping. It sets up in minutes. That gives AV and facilities teams a large screen for shared event spaces and European listed buildings, where drilling into walls may be restricted.

  • 01A 136-inch wall that folds into a flight case turns a construction project into a piece of equipment that moves between rooms.
  • 02The design earns its keep when the screen actually travels: between rooms, venues or trade shows. A display that never leaves one lobby gets less out of the wheels.
  • 03For European heritage venues where structural changes may be restricted, an installation-free dvLED wall opens up a format that a bolted-on wall may not allow.
