Viz Anchor is a new Vizrt application targeted at news, sports and weather presenters in the studio. Viz Anchor requires an existing Vizrt infrastructure and is not a standalone product.
The application runs natively on Apple’s iPad and allows users to control newsroom playlists, including video and graphics directly from the device. With Viz Anchor the presenter can take graphics directly on-air without disturbing the flow of the presentation. Video clips and graphics can be controlled from anywhere in the studio without going through the control room.
To be able to utilize Viz Anchor you will need access to the following Vizrt software: Viz Media Sequencer 1.21, Viz Engine 3.3 and Preview Server 1.0. If you want previews of Viz Content Pilot graphics you will also need Vizrt Data Server 1.1.
