Basics 254 - Changes in the Remote Sequencer and Rundown Controller applications

Controlling XPression playout in a MOS environment can be hectic, so we have added a couple of new features to the Remote Sequencer and Rundown Controller software. There is now a connection status indicator for the XPression Gateway in both applications.On Rundown Controller’s toolbar icon, when any changes to rundowns happen in the newsroom, the toolbar icon will flash, and a notification icon will appear and flash over the Rundown controller icon.
In Remote Sequencer, when using the Project Server tool to change projects used in creating new Take Items, a username and password is now required.

Basics 256 – Using XPression Project Server Legacy Mode

In the original release of XPression 11.5, we added SHA-512 hashing to increase the security of user accounts accessing the XPression Project Server. Inside a single station, this is an easy update to create, but for station groups or situations where various organizations have access to a single shared XPression Project Server, not every XPression system will be on the same version of XPression.
To provide the most flexibility to users with the latest version of XPression, we have enabled the ability for them to use a Legacy Mode to access older versions of XPression Project Server. This is found in XPression version 11.5 build 5811 or higher.

The way graphics people are sharing files, is based in the Legacy mode, which might not be so easy to figure out.
