Vizrt signs USD 804 virtual set deal with a news channel in the Middle East

Bergen, Norway, March 25, 2014, Vizrt Ltd. (Oslo Main List: VIZ).

Vizrt Ltd. announced today a deal worth USD 804,000 for the implementation of broadcast graphics (BG) products with a news channel in the Middle East. The customer has been using Vizrt BG products for many years. The new virtual set system will be integrated seamlessly with the channel’s current BG workflow solutions.

The deal includes Viz Virtual Studio, Vizrt’s virtual set management system. Viz Virtual Studio will be used for both immersive graphics as well as traditional green screen virtual studios. Viz Engine was purchased to handle real-time rendering of the virtual elements.

The news channel also purchased a 24-camera Motion Analysis Raptor Tracking System. This is an optical tracking system that sends camera movement information to the Viz Virtual Studio software. Vizrt is a partner and reseller of Motion Analysis.

The customer saw the combined Viz Virtual Studio and Motion Analysis tracking system at Vizrt’s booth during IBC 2013 and was impressed with the capabilities and flexibility of the system. The ease of setup and use was a major factor for choosing this tracking solution.
