With Viz Video Hub, Vizrt has introduced a complete and easy to install Media Asset Management system. New users can immediately take advantage of the system’s capabilities from their standard desktop PCs. Viz Video Hub comes in two different predefined configurations, depending on storage and editing demands: Viz Video Hub 500 supports up to 500 hours of DV25 storage and 20 concurrent users, while Viz Video Hub 40 supports up to 40 hours of DV25 storage and 5 concurrent users. Additional modules easily add extra capacity, should the need for higher performance arise.

Viz Video Hub is a cost-effective, hassle-free solution that builds on proven technology and provides all essential features of a Viz Ardome installation.

Workflow
Viz Link

Viz Link extends the usual graphic systems’ capabilities. It closely ties together video, high-quality graphics, production tools, and Media Asset Management. Viz Link allows Viz Content Pilot users to search for videos in the media database, edit them, and directly add these videos to graphics templates. The finished templates including the videos can then be played out using Viz Engine as a real-time media compositor.
