Viz|Engine is an extremely powerful rendering engine and is the core of Vizrt’s real-time graphical solutions. 2D/3D animated scenes designed in Viz|Artist are rendered in real-time as high-end animations, and the output is SD or HD video. Viz|Engine systems work with all other Vizrt products to provide users with the total solution for producing their graphic content..
Primarily, Viz|Engine is used to render graphics animations for live TV programs, but can be equally applied to post-production, webcasting, and non-broadcast large scale displays.
Viz|Engine has an open control interface allowing users to integrate their proprietary control software. Viz|Engine supports a command language which allows almost all graphic features to be controlled or changed on the fly from external applications. These control possibilities include editing of text, images, materials, 2D and 3D objects, audio, animations, and many other effects
Vizrts Sports Graphic solution, Viz|Arena
Vizrt’s Sports Graphic solution, Viz|Arena, provides the flexibility and speed needed to broadcast results and analysis as text, video, images and animations, in real-time and as true 3D graphics.
Our core concept is content-driven template graphics designed in Viz|Artist, our easy to use, format independent broadcast design software. The unique superior renderer, Viz|Engine, then combines the data and image content generated during the match, or pulled off a database, with the stored templates. It renders them in real-time, responding to commands sent from a control PC.
The expectations of both viewers and advertisers have become increasingly sophisticated and Vizrt’s 3D real-time graphics software suite has been created to meet these demands:
Viz|Arena superimposes static or animated 3D graphics over live coverage of a sports event with all graphics created in Viz|Artist. Viz|Arena also comes with image based tracking; based on a clean video feed, with at least two visible straight lines, camera tracking is simulated in real-time.
Viz|Ad combines product images including prices, audio, text, and video into a finished commercial in minutes.
Participation-TV with SMS and MMS is available with Viz|Reponse.
Operation of the system from a control room or an OB van is handled by Viz|Trio which controls Viz|Engine, the renderer software. This feature-rich CG with transition logics, will also let you create new graphics on the fly.
All products are designed to scale with the needs of the facility. All Vizrt’s software use the same core renderer, Viz|Engine and run on rack mountable non-proprietary PC. Vizrt’s solutions can produce both SD and HD graphics. Customers using a Vizrt SD system can easily upgrade to HD.
Viz|Artist is a user-friendly broadcast design application. High quality, real-time 2D/3D animated graphics are produced as HD or SD video.

Built with a simple, icon-based drag-and-drop user interface, and sophisticated 3D animation and design tools, Viz|Artist enables the user to produce complex animations for a variety of broadcast applications, including virtual reality studio sets, in less time and with greater creative freedom than with conventional systems. Manipulation of text is a particular feature of Viz|Artist. Extraordinary high-end effects can be achieved for real-time promos, trailers and title sequences, as well as overlays for live events.
