Transformed Massive Displays into Your Performative Arena: Vizrt
In a significant move, Vizrt has updated its flagship product, Viz Engine, to version 5.4. This latest iteration of the engine powers primetime TV feeds, sports apps, and social livestreams in parallel, making it a crucial tool in today's media landscape.
Caroline Cardozo, VP of product management at Vizrt, emphasised the importance of the updated engine, stating, "In a world where audiences demand high-quality content on various platforms, including TV, mobile, and social media, Viz Engine 5.4 is designed to meet this challenge."
One of the key features of Viz Engine 5.4 is native HDR creation in Viz Artist. This ensures that the vibrancy designed is the vibrancy seen by the audience, enhancing the viewing experience.
The new engine is intended to help teams eliminate bottlenecks, compromises, and bring all creative power into one seamless workflow. Producers can now create more relevant, personalised broadcasts, and multiple formats can run side-by-side in one workflow.
Adaptive graphics in Viz Engine 5.4 can hit broadcast, OTT, and social simultaneously, making multi-platform delivery faster and more efficient. The engine's improvements boost flexibility and creative scope for producers.
Support for Unreal Engine 5.4 and 5.5 enables hyper-realistic virtual sets and richer visual detail. HTML5 integration in Viz Engine 5.4 allows for live web content to be pulled directly into graphics and on-air in seconds.
Viz Engine 5.4 is capable of being ready for 16K visuals, providing a platform for future-proof production. Producers can drive up to 8K visuals from a single Viz Engine and a fiber connection.
The new version of Viz Engine is designed to reduce duplication of work and the need to manage multiple systems. It aims to simplify production complexity, reduce costs, and allow teams to focus more on storytelling.
Caroline Cardozo described Viz Engine 5.4 as a "step change, not just another version," in the broadcast revolution. The updated engine is expected to help teams keep up with the demand for more content on more platforms faster.
In conclusion, Vizrt's update to Viz Engine to version 5.4 offers a comprehensive solution for producers to create content once, automatically adapt it, and publish it everywhere without a heavy workload or the need to use multiple systems. This step forward in broadcasting technology is set to revolutionise the way content is produced and delivered in today's fast-paced media landscape.
