Bergen, Norway, February 06, 2013. Vizrt Ltd. (Oslo Main List: VIZ)
Vizrt Ltd. announced today a deal worth USD 570,000 for the implementation of broadcast graphics products with a television station in Eastern Europe. The broadcaster is a new Vizrt customer and is building a newsroom workflow and virtual studio with Vizrt's products.
Included in the deal is a newsroom workflow centered around Viz Content Pilot. The system will give journalists access to graphic templates inside of their newsroom control system. The journalists fill out the templates, create maps from Viz World and build a MOS playlist that is then sent to the Viz Trio systems in the control room.
From the control room, operators of Viz Trio, Vizrt's real-time 3D character generator (CG), will trigger live graphics from the MOS playlist to air. The studio will include Viz Virtual Studio for creating a real-time virtual set that is flexible and easy to use. Viz Trio will be able to control content in the Virtual set as well as other live on-air graphics.
