Vizrt signs a USD 425k virtual set deal with a Latin American broadcaster
Bergen, Norway, September 26, 2014, Vizrt Ltd. (Oslo Main List: VIZ)
Vizrt Ltd. announced today a deal worth USD 425,000 for the implementation of broadcast graphics products with a Latin American broadcaster. The customer is expanding its current Vizrt graphics installation to include virtual set and social TV tools.
The deal shows how customers can expand their capabilities through the seamless addition of new product modules, rather than having to implement entirely new systems from the ground up. The deal includes Viz Virtual Studio, Vizrt’s control system, that will allow the broadcaster to have a virtual set integrated with their current broadcast graphics workflow. Several Viz Engine, Vizrt’s real-time 3D compositing engine, are included to render the virtual set for live on-air use.
The broadcaster also purchased Vizrt Social TV. The solution will integrate social media interaction throughout the broadcaster’s workflow including moderating content in the newsroom and displaying social media content live on air
