Latin America. Ross Video introduced Raiden, a data-driven weather graphics software designed to enable newsrooms to enhance their storytelling with more immersive, real-time weather content.
The first version of Raiden brings weather graphics to the XPression toolbox and integrates seamlessly with existing production workflows through an intuitive web-based tool. That allows meteorologists to collaborate with producers and designers to prepare weather and climate content anywhere.
Designed for the demands of the modern newsroom environment, Raiden makes it easy to collaborate across departments. The Icelandic National Broadcasting Service (RUV) was the first to adopt the Raiden system in its newsroom. Its head of production, Gisli Berg, praised the software: "Raiden has transformed our approach to timetelling by removing the limitations of our old system. Our news and climate teams now collaborate more effectively to produce higher quality content. And the ability to access and prepare content from anywhere has made the team's job easier."
Raiden's powerful suite of tools enables meteorologists and content creators to produce captivating weather narratives. The most notable features include:
Powerful data aggregation: Raiden seamlessly acquires, processes, and visualizes preferred weather data from a wide range of sources for the XPression graphics engine.
An intuitive story creation tool: An easy-to-use web interface allows users to quickly create or update a weather story and summary from anywhere for a live production.
Integrated graphics system: An XPression plugin with DataLinq allows broadcasters to design and operate news and weather content from a single graphics engine.
