Elections are not just about the numbers, they are also about speed and the quality of the presentation. Figures and projections change constantly and no broadcaster can afford to bore the viewers with time-consuming statistical calculations, manual data entry, and dull presentations.

The Vizrt election solution is based on years of experience and was developed in close cooperation with major broadcasters worldwide. Their feedback was used to develop a comprehensive solution that allows broadcasters to create a holistic experience that covers all aspects of today's live TV.

The studio is the most visible part of your live election coverage. The Vizrt election solution provides powerful tools that allow broadcasters to create complex 2D and 3D virtual sets, and enhance existing sets with virtual objects that are fully interactive.

The interactivity is not limited to virtual objects. Vizrt's high-resolution video wall supports interactivity that the anchor person can use to present prognosis, descriptive what-if scenarios and the latest results. For the presenter this means additional freedom. Since he or she can control when new information will be rendered and played out in real-time, awkward inquiries between studio and control room are finally a thing of the past.

New media platforms can be seamlessly integrated into the election solution. A mobile phone with integrated camera is enough to transmit high quality video from any election party. Feeds can be automatically organized and fed into a Vizrt Media Asset Management system. Data that has been processed by analytic tools can be presented on the video wall, on the Internet and even on mobile devices through the Vizrt Multi Platform Suite. No changes in the workflow are necessary!
