Vizrt signs USD 460k broadcast graphics deal with Dega, a UK-based systems integrator
Bergen, Norway, March 21, 2014, Vizrt Ltd. (Oslo Main List: VIZ).
Vizrt Ltd. announced today a deal worth USD 460,000 for broadcast graphics products with Dega, a systems integrator in the UK. Dega will implement the broadcast graphics products at a regional newsroom for a major British broadcaster. The broadcaster has been a Vizrt customer for many years, and the purchase will serve to integrate the national and regional graphics workflows.
The deal includes Viz Pilot, Vizrt’s content and control application. Viz Pilot integrates with the customer’s newsroom control system (NRCS) and allows the journalist to create graphics based on templates. These graphics are added to a playlist in the NRCS and then triggered live to air from a Viz Pilot control interface in the control room. Viz Engine, Vizrt’s real-time compositing engine will render all graphics live on-air.
Additionally, Viz Artist was purchased for the purpose of creating customer animations to be played out during a broadcast from Viz Pilot and Viz Engine.
