Vizrt Introduces Flexible IP-Based Mobile Graphics Production Package

(26/03/2014) Vizrt, a leading provider of content production systems for the digital media industry, has announced a new package integrating its IP-based graphics production tool with NewTek TriCaster multi-camera live video production systems. Helping to create a smarter workflow for broadcasters, the package - now available to customers - will provide easier control of live video and graphics content in the control room, OB truck or stadium for use on-air or online.

At NAB 2014, Vizrt will demonstrate the IP-based Viz Engine and Viz Trio as part of a studio production integration with the TriCaster in the What's Next lounge on its booth (SL2419). NewTek will also feature a demonstration of the integration on its booth (SL4610).

The package provides a fill and key IP stream that's easily detected by TriCaster. Using NewTek's SDK, Vizrt has produced an IP-stream recognized automatically by TriCaster as a source for graphics overlay. Viz Trio, Vizrt's character generator is included in the package as a single-box solution and includes an animated preview, bundled with Viz Engine. A second package includes Viz Trio on a HP ZBook, with still preview to create an ultra-portable graphics and video production solution for mobile production trucks.

We created the package to provide our customers with a simple and powerful way to produce high-quality content that's easily scalable for on-air and online use, and which only requires an IT infrastructure, said Gerhard Lang, chief engineering officer at Vizrt. When integrated with TriCaster it delivers affordability for non-traditional broadcasters, including online channels, OB truck operators, and college sports productions.

We've engineered tight integration between TriCaster and 3Play systems to deliver strong workflow capabilities for sports producers offering aggressive pricing to customers who purchase them together, said Dr. Andrew Cross, chief technology officer at NewTek. Integrating the IP-based Viz Engine with our solutions delivers added-value for the sports production industry. The result is a workflow that includes everything from live multi-camera video production, instant replay, slow motion, real-time social media publishing, to stunning 3D graphics of the highest broadcast quality.
