Bergen, Norway, June 26, 2013, Vizrt Ltd. (Oslo Main List: VIZ)
Vizrt Ltd. announced today a deal worth USD 848,800 for graphics products with a broadcast company in Latin America. The broadcaster, a current Vizrt customer, is launching a new network in the region and has purchased a comprehensive suite of Vizrt products to provide top quality graphics and virtual studio capabilities, as well as an integrated workflow.
The deal includes the core Vizrt broadcast graphics products needed to provide an integrated turn-key solution for launching a new station. This includes Viz Content Pilot for providing the journalists in the newsroom easy-to-use graphic templates integrated in the newsroom control system. The templates will also give the journalists the ability to make real-time 3D maps using Viz World. Completed templates create a playlist for on-air playback using Viz Trio – Vizrt’s character generator (CG) – in the control room.
In the studio, Viz Virtual Studio will drive a virtual set that includes data-driven graphics and content produced by the journalists in the newsroom using graphic templates.
The final on-air product will include Viz Virtual Studio with the on-air presenters, overlay graphics from Viz Trio and Viz Ticker displaying real-time updates from global financial and news feeds, all rendered in real-time by multiple Viz Engines, Vizrt’s real-time 3D compositing system.
