Bannister Lake Software Inc

Bannister Lake Software Inc, based in Cambridge, Ontario, is the broadcasting industry’s go-to for lean, automated graphics solutions. Their toolkit—like Super Ticker, TweetOut, Brando, and Score Bugs—turns routine on-air visuals into dynamic storytelling tools that engage, inform, and generate revenue.

Built for broadcasters who demand efficiency, Super Ticker automates content playout across multiple channels, blending original content with external feeds and running 24/7 with zero fuss. Meanwhile, Brando handles all your branding needs—bugs, promos, snipes, sponsor messages—automated, schedule-friendly, and ready to integrate with modern traffic systems via BXF standards.

Their TweetOut social moderation and display solution makes engaging your internet-savvy audience seamless. Plus, Score Bugs offers a robust suite for sports overlays—anything from real-time scores to branding layers.

Beyond the tools, Bannister Lake’s Elector software is a secret weapon for Canadian election coverage. Trusted by broadcasters like Global TV and CPAC, Elector aggregates live election results, supports touchscreen map widgets, and renders to HTML5, AVID/Orad, Ross XPression, or Vizrt engines. That means data-driven visuals are versatile, flexible, and newsroom-ready.

And major news: Bannister Lake was acquired by Ross Video in April 2024, expanding the reach of their automation and HTML5-powered graphics tools globally—and reinforcing their quality and pedigree.
