Viz Virtual Studio 1.8 Unleashes Game-Changing Automated Lens Calibration that is Faster, Smarter, and Precise.

In the world of live virtual production every second counts and every pixel matters. That’s why Viz Virtual Studio 1.8 is a leap forward in production efficiency and visual precision. At the heart of this upgrade is a Vizrt exclusive that will transform how you calibrate your cameras: Automated Lens Calibration with Target Detection.

If you’re a broadcaster, league, or club juggling multiple matches, tight crews, and high sponsor expectations, you want your setup to be smooth and production tools fast and flawless. You need to move with the speed of live, hit clean visuals, and keep your graphics in position.

Calibrate Smarter, Not Harder

Say goodbye to tedious manual measurements, complicated lens parameter inputs, and calibration guesswork. With this groundbreaking improvement to the user experience, lens calibration is now as easy as following a step-by-step wizard — no specialized expertise required.

Using QR code-based image recognition, Automated Lens Calibration with Target Detection does the heavy lifting for you. Here’s a birds-eye view of how it works:

  • QR targets are placed around your studio.
  • Studio cameras pan and tilt through a guided sequence.
  • The system automatically detects each QR code using advanced image recognition.
  • Vizrt Studio Manager oversees the process, ensuring accuracy and consistency.
