Viz Pilot Edge

Viz Pilot Edge is the HTML-based newsroom graphics system that is liberating newsrooms. The intuitive new interface helps journalists independently create, manage, and deliver news coverage using templated graphics. Plan your news, sports, or election productions with state-of-the-art graphics, maps, animations, videos, and images; all from an easy-to-use graphics platform with live, flexible preview.

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

Viz Pilot Edge 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. (Viz Pilot Edge is HTML5-based, Viz Pilot is built on ActiveX).

Futureproofing and securing your newsroom

The newsroom component integrates with all major newsroom systems: iNews, Octopus, ENPS, OpenMedia, Dina and more. It supports real-time previews, even for multiple reveals, giving journalists full control of how a news rundown will look. 

Viz Pilot Edge 3.1 introduces Pilot Sign-on. Role-based authentication to better secure your newsroom, and protect your content. Read the release article.

Metadata and keyword filters improve the search function to speed up graphics generation. While Transition Logic (pioneered by Vizrt) provides for sophisticated and smooth orchestration of overlapping graphics in playout.

Create once and used across multiple shows with concepts and variants. Save time with Metagraphics. Instead of burning graphics onto a final clip, save graphics metadata alongside clean video onto the Viz One media asset management system. Simply update graphics, without having to re-edit and re-render the clip.
