IROQUOIS, ON – Ross Video has acquired Automated Data Systems (ADS) of La Crosse, Wisconsin, the companies announced Monday.
ADS is known for innovative, feature-packed and easy to use solutions for data delivery, automation and broadcast production requirements, including their main product line EZNews. EZNews is a newsroom editorial system used by television journalists to produce newscasts, and includes features like script writing, teleprompting and graphics automation. Ross said that it will continue to support the EZNews product while offering clients “a compelling opportunity” to move to Ross’ own Newsroom Computer System product Inception (pictured).
“EZNews is popular among colleges and universities training broadcast journalists for the industry – a very important long term customer base for Ross,” said CEO David Ross, in the press release. “We will also continue to support EZPrompt, a popular, low cost windows based teleprompting software system with over 6,000 customers. This is a great step for Ross. We look forward to the opportunity to grow even more into the newsroom market – and also welcoming three new staff from ADS to the Ross mix.”
