More than a charachter generator
As its name suggests, Viz Trio is a combination of three products. With the Viz Trio client you control the video output and make fast changes to your content, whenever needed. Then there is Viz Engine, which is a real-time 3D rendering software that delivers animations in HD SDI video or as a DVI digital output. Finally, there is Viz Artist, which is an animation and visual effects creation tool.
Working with templates
TV Producers often face the challenge of how to present the same news or sports results cost-effectively across various channels or even for different shows on the same channel. Viz Trio’s template variants make it possible to deliver several different graphics streams from a single CG and a single set of data.
By building different variants of the templates it is easy to re-use, for example, the financial statistics from the Six O'clock News for the Nine O'clock News, each time with the appropriate look for that program. Likewise, a live weather forecast for the news channel can be rendered and then an entirely different looking forecast, with a different map style, can be generated immediately afterwards for the sports channel. For the Viz Trio operator the change simply takes one mouse click.
