Sports fans have come to expect up-to-the-minute information to appear on their screens when watching live sporting events. In fact, it’s hard to imagine the days without it. But that data has to come from somewhere, and somehow it has to make it into the graphics without delay.
Viz Data Connector simplifies the integration of external live data from different sources. For production teams that use Viz Flowics, this means streamlined broadcast graphics creation and operation. The data flows from source via the connector into Viz Flowics in real-time to auto-populate the on-air graphics.
We have a large and varied catalog of data connectors — including many for sports. And, we keep adding to our catalog to fulfill the needs of a growing customer base. You ask, we deliver!
Here’re some new native integrations. These additions will benefit anyone creating live, data-driven broadcast graphics for sports betting, car racing, equestrian competitions, and esports productions, among others.
Scoreboard OCR
The Scoreboard OCR software perfectly reads scoreboard data through images and camera feeds using optical character recognition (OCR) technology. With the new data connector for Scoreboard OCR, production teams can receive digits from physical scoreboards into Viz Flowics. To learn more about the Scoreboard OCR data connector, read here.

RaceHero

These new additions give them more opportunities to produce different kinds of live sports events — and enrich their storytelling.
