In today's competitive market, broadcasters have to make every effort to maximize the visual impact of their news shows. Huge video wall installations and the use of virtual elements to enhance the set have become the rule rather than an exception: Animated backgrounds, interactive diagrams and 3D objects rendered in real-time are a natural part of modern studio environments.

The Vizrt news solution offers an easy way to create high quality visual images even for the most challenging productions. The virtual studio module provides an easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface and features a comprehensive studio and production workflow as well as impressive graphics capabilities. Now, graphic designers are only limited by their imagination when transforming the stage area into an impressive virtual studio. The module can also be used to enhance existing sets with virtual objects that the anchor persons can interact with.

To further enhance the look of a news show, Vizrt offers an easy and flexible entry into the world of video walls. Viz Video Wall integrates with established workflows and grows with rising demands. Small setups with only a few screens can be upgraded to create unique installations that go far beyond the capacity of traditional video-wall setups. The support for extreme resolutions beyond HD provides broadcasters with a perfect tool to boost the visual quality of their shows.
