Size matters - in more ways than one

Do you want a media asset management system that is capable of storing decades worth of video material, or a video database that snugly fits in the crammed inside of an OB van? You'll agree that either way size can be the decisive factor.

At the heart of every efficient broadcast workflow is a powerful media asset management (MAM) system. And there are good reasons that many of these systems are based on Vizrt technology, with Viz Media Engine as the core system.

MAM systems are not only an investment, they are a commitment. After all, they are the backbone of the technological structure on which all media operations from ingest to editing and playout rest.

We understand that the customers' confidence in a new MAM system is not only based on the superior technical specifications of the installation itself; the trust they put in Vizrt's ability to provide first-class support in the years to come is equally important.

With more than a decade of experience in the MAM market and several petabytes of material stored at broadcasters around the globe, Vizrt is one of the most trusted providers for MAM systems in the broadcast industry.

More expandable

When it comes to video management, we’re basically replacing the previous one-size-fits-all approach with a universal toolkit for crafting solutions that match any video workflow.

With the integration between video management and transcoding, we offer a platform no longer bound to the ‘old-broadcast’ workflow. Instead, Viz Media Engine comes with all the modules needed to provide a seamless workflow between professional video signals (Serial Digital Interface - SDI) and file-based systems. The same content can be edited and repackaged with graphics for both broadcast oriented video and online play out.  

Add support for video branding through device adapted graphics insertion, fully compatible with burnt-in or overlay TV graphics, and the current limitations to your file based video workflow cease to exist, making the complete Vizrt platform the perfect solution for broadcasters and media houses alike. Rather than a system with separate parts, a complete video platform approach delivers incredible benefits in terms of speed, quality and volume of video production.
