Bergen, Norway, December 10, 2013, Vizrt Ltd. (Oslo Main List: VIZ).

Vizrt Ltd. announced today a deal worth USD 311,000 for the implementation of broadcast graphics products with a broadcaster in Central America. The customer already has a large Vizrt broadcast graphics installation and the new purchase will be adding additional virtual set capabilities.
