Viz Pilot Edge

Viz Pilot Edge is the HTML-based newsroom graphics system built for modern, flexible newsrooms. Automatically generates templates or builds rich cross-platform custom templates using native HTML for powerful user interfaces. A redundant centralized storage of content allows for easy administration and fail-safe operation. The system includes the latest standards for maximum interoperability, efficiency, and support.

The latest version, Viz Pilot Edge 3.2, marks the break up with legacy tech for Template Builder. And with ActiveX and VBScript no longer supported by Microsoft, the time is right to migrate to a Viz Pilot Edge.

The intuitive new interface helps journalists independently create, manage, and deliver news efficiently using templated graphics. Plan your news, sports, business or election rundowns with stunning graphics, maps, animations, videos, social media content and images; all from an easy-to-use graphics platform with live, flexible preview. Create graphics from anywhere, even when on the road covering a breaking or developing story.

Get the edge with a workflow that supports last-minute, real-time changes.
