    We just got our Expression and Tessera commissioned and are now trying to get it connected to our Mozart automation system. Has anyone had success with this? If so any tips or things to be aware of.

    Hi Joey, I think the Project Manager from Ross Video for your site is reaching out to your about this, but I can provide a short overview here.

    Viz Mosart will recall MOS graphics in XPression using the CII protocol. Some of the configuration for Mosart to control XPression can be found here: https://docs.vizrt.com/viz-mosart-admin-guide/5.7/Graphics_Configuration_Files.html

    You will need the XPression MOS workflow functioning, so you need MOS rundowns coming from your NRCS system to be loaded into the XPression Studio/BlueBox and ready for playout. 

    The XPression Studio/BlueBox will also need the XPression CII Gateway installed. 
    The same MOS rundown is loaded in Mosart for playout. 

    In XPression you can see the IDs that Mosart will use: 

    Sequencer > Select Take Item > Take Item Inspector > Take Item > MOS
    The formatting of the CII read command for a MOS graphic is: X\READ\storyid-itemid-objid\\
    So to trigger the take item above from Mosart the command would look like: 
        X\READ\743-11-{EEC1AB24-DE0B-4B89-B7CC-DEA28C96A6BE}\\
    Here is an example of the MOS take item, it's IDs and the CII command that successfully triggers it:
