Viz World integrates with GeoSage World Basemaps to offer new enhanced data packages

The new integration to GeoSage Basemaps allows broadcasters to access a comprehensive database of high quality high-resolution satellite imagery.

When breaking news happens, access to high-resolution global satellite imagery is essential to journalists. Viz World, the broadcast industry's standard software for the creation of branded and animated 3D maps, has integrated with GeoSage World Basemaps giving broadcasters the ability to virtually go anywhere in the world. All satellite imagery has been carefully processed by GeoSage providing broadcasters unified coloring and quality.

"We are very pleased that after extensive evaluation the Viz World technical team has adopted our world basemaps as part of their innovative content offering" said Jennifer Tao, Business Manager at GeoSage.

GeoSage imagery integrates directly into Viz World giving broadcasters the flexibility to create animated maps for any location.

The new enhanced data packages include GeoSages unique world basemaps and combine satellite imagery, high resolution digital elevation model (DEM) as well as street vector data from OpenStreetMap. This combination gives broadcasters the flexibility to generate high quality 3D animated maps for any location.

"High resolution imagery and consistent coloring is extremely important to broadcasters in order to maintain broadcast quality standards, said Petter Ole Jakobsen, Vizrt CTO. With the new integration to GeoSage Basemaps, broadcasters can now not only get access to a comprehensive database of high quality high-resolution satellite imagery, but, when combined with DEM and street data that is part of our enhanced data packages, they can now generate high quality maps including 3D terrains worldwide in real time."
