Making the jump to Viz Engine 5 is easier than you think!

Here are some questions customers have asked us about Making the Jump to Viz Engine 5:

Yes! Your existing scenes – created in the Classic Pipeline of Viz Engine 3 or Viz Engine 4 –are forward-compatible with the new Viz Engine Renderer. Viz Engine 5 is fully compatible with your Classic or Viz Engine Renderer scenes.
At 150 professionals strong, Customer Success is the second largest team at Vizrt. Whether you need technical support, training, or certification, the objective of every Viz Engine 5 upgrade is to ensure a seamless and successful customer experience.
Viz Engine 5 introduces a long and growing list of innovative features across the entire Vizrt product portfolio. Beginning with Viz Artist 5 and an all-new Scene Tree that benefits users with improved accessibility and navigation, to the seamless integration with Unreal Engine, the Vizrt-exclusive Adaptive Graphics, and the AI-driven Reality Connect, on through to the adoption of the latest generation of NVIDIA GPUs – Viz Engine 5 delivers.  
Vizrt uses advanced AI technologies, including its own Viz AI, within every solution powered by Viz Engine 5. For example, its crucial to incorporate realistic talent reflections and shadow casting within virtual studios and XR sets to establish a convincing connection between real people and virtual worlds. Viz Engine 5’s Reality Connect™ feature manifests these traits by employing AI-based, real-time pose estimation as well as animated textured bone and skin models to enable realistic representations. 
Every day, people spend an average of an hour and a half streaming content on laptops, smartphones, and tablets. That means more of your audience is viewing your news, sports, and entertainment on devices other than large TVs.

Stop creating custom content, including individually produced graphics for lower-thirds, video walls, and virtual sets, in different configurations to meet the requirements of these unique aspect ratios. Adaptive Graphics™, a Viz Engine 5 exclusive, is an automated way to deploy graphics to multiple output formats simultaneously, saving time, repetitive work, and resources.

Because Viz Engine is the underlying render and compositing engine that powers everything in the Vizrt suite of solutions, upgrading to Viz Engine 5 opens new possibilities whether you have Viz Trio, Viz Virtual Studio, Viz Arc, Viz Multiplay, Viz Artist, and more. With Viz Engine 5, you get the most out of Vizrt’s best-in-class software. 

Technology marches on, and the breakthroughs in Viz Engine 5 are tried and tested to perform in today’s transforming media environment – and serve as the jumping-off point to the next generation of innovation.

This is particularly true with respect to Viz Engine’s industry-leading integration with NVIDIA GPUs, which Vizrt relies upon for rendering graphics and executing visual effects.

Viz Engine 5 leverages the new features and performance of the latest NVIDIA RTX™ 6000 Ada Generation GPU to bring unparalleled levels of rendering performance and quality to 2D graphics, 3D virtual sets, augmented reality graphics, and extended reality presentations.

As Viz Engine 3 nears obsolescence, and with Viz Engine 4 supporting only limited advancements, you need the breakthroughs in Viz Engine 5 to continue to perform in today’s transforming media environment. Take advantage of tighter integrations, AI-based technology and software that lowers the drain on your resources.

The ultimate reason to upgrade? Stay ahead and remain competitive.
