Bergen, Norway, December 21, 2011. Vizrt Ltd. (Oslo Main List: VIZ)
Vizrt Ltd., a leading provider of content production tools for the digital media industry, announced today that the Company has signed a deal worth approximately MUSD 1.3 for the implementation of a MAM system with a South East Asian TV Channel
The deal consists of the implementation of a Viz Ardome enterprise system with additional tools for the integration of the MAM system into program production. Furthermore, Vizrt will deliver tools that allow for the MAM system to interface with the client's in-house BMS system.
Martin Burkhalter, CEO of Vizrt, stated, "This is a very substantial MAM deal, with which we are very pleased. We won this particular one because of the innovative features inherent in our Ardome system, but also due to our ability to integrate critical systems in the different phases of Broadcasters' workflow. Furthermore, we were able to give the client a great level of confidence due to our great delivery track record, which is a credit to our teams who implement MAM systems throughout the world".
The client has a clearly defined HD-upgrade roadmap for next year and have indicated they are considering the purchased Ardome system for use with its news production in HD, which would result in Ardome becoming the only core MAM system used by the TV channel.
