Brando is a branding solution based on Ross XPression that provides support for displaying Bugs, Lower Thirds, Next Ups, Voice Overs, Tickers, Bumpers, and Switcher graphics.

Brando reads XPression projects to discover the resource scenes created for channel branding. Brando uses a naming convention for the scenes in the XPression projects to distinguish between the different types of resources.

For example, all bugs in an XPression project must have scene names with the prefix Bug for it to be a Bug resource. To have the current program name displayed in the scene, a resource tag with the name “Now” must be added to the scene.

Brando workflows include the following:
