Super Ticker is now fully compatible with Cobalt Digital’s +TTS complete 21CVAA text-to-speech generation / audio insertion solution for closings and alerts. +TTS receives a CSV file generated by Super Ticker BLADE Runner via a watch folder, converts it, and inserts realistic human-voice audio into user-configured audio channels (typically an SAP channel pair intended for this playout).

Program audio is ducked and alert tones are played on the main program channel to alert the visually impaired that emergency content is to occur on the SAP channel. Alerts can be played a configurable number of times, and messages can be prioritized based on the organization’s discretion. Super Ticker also supports Alerts, Elections, Events, Facebook, Financials, Promos, Scores, Ski Reports, Stories, Traffic, Twitter and Weather.

As Super Ticker’s customer base goes world-wide, Bannister Lake is pleased to announce support for the Agence France-Presse (AFP) newsfeed. The AFP support in Super Ticker is a free addition for all AFP customers. BL provides a flexible parser to read news and sports from this elite news service.

Agence France-Presse (AFP) is an international news agency headquartered in Paris. Founded in 1944, it is the third largest in the world after Associated Press and Reuters.

Through Bannister Lake’s close relationship with Ross Video and their OEMing of Super Ticker skinned as Tick-it, the two companies have joined forces to create an excellent elections solution. The focus at the moment is the 2016 US Elections, Primaries and Caucuses but the solution is world-ready for any election thrown at it.

Elections come fully supported in Super Ticker and Tick-it. There are no options required. And it can be bundled with our tightly-coupled XPression Editions or CG-agnostic with our inexpensive Flow editions that provide data through BLADE, BL’s RESTful API. The solution also comes included with a parser to read the most up-to-date AP elections feed.

Please contact BL or Ross Video for a demo.
