The BL Elector Player is a utility for Ross Video’s XPression graphics platform that outputs graphics using Elector database elements and the XPression API. The Elector Player is installed locally on the same system running XPression Studio as it uses an instance of the Ross XPression engine to run.

Using a utility called Gears, the Elector Player synchronizes graphics package data from XPression with available election data and playlist information in the Elector database. The Elector Player can output individual scenes or entire playlists of ordered, scheduled scenes created in Flow.
