Bergen, Norway, June 30, 2014, Vizrt Ltd. (Oslo Main List: VIZ).

Vizrt Ltd. announced today a deal worth USD 1.6 million for the implementation of broadcast graphics and media asset management (MAM) products with a news cable network in the US. The new systems replace older Vizrt systems, as well as expand the number of systems used to cater for greater capacity demands. The channel is part of an international broadcast group that has been using Vizrt as its primary graphics systems provider at various locations throughout the world. By using Vizrt graphics products, the broadcast group is able to unify and integrate its graphics production workflow throughout all of its networks.

The deal includes multiple Viz Engines for compositing real-time video and graphic content live on-air. The network is also using multiple Viz Engines to provide high-resolution content for video walls in the studios.

The Clip Core component of Viz One, Vizrt’s Media Asset Management system, was included in the deal to allow the broadcaster to store video and images in a central database. The component enables Viz Engine to composite video with graphics for live on-air playback.

Vizrt’s CEO Martin Burkhalter commented: “This new order from a longtime customer is a good example of how we are able to expand business from existing customers as they grow, as well as through upgrades. Our integrated offering clearly meets our customers’ requirements for improved workflow efficiencies, ensuring a quick return on investments for workflow and capacity expansion projects.”
