Vizrt and netventure Create Streamlined Workflow for HD Broadcast of Red Bull X-Fighters Series
Vizrt’s Viz Engine 3.3 once again powered graphics within a one-operator system developed by Berlin-based netventure for the HD production of the Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour 2009. The Red Bull XFighter series is one of the largest freestyle motocross contests. This year’s series made five stops around the globe, beginning in Mexico, moving on to Canada and the US and ending in London. All of the Red Bull X-Fighter series broadcasts were produced in HD and seen live on the ESPN Network in the U.S. The tour began in late March and concluded on August 22 in London.
netventure, a systems integration and graphics design firm, collaborated on its one-operator system with Vizrt. Eleven Viz Engines render the graphics which are controlled by customized software that enables one operator to control multiple renderers. netventure produced the Red Bull X-Fighters Series with five channels, broadcasting HD graphics in 16X9 and 4X3 title safe, as well as feeding large video walls for the program and feeding time data to digital clocks on plasma screens inside the arena. One laptop receives and displays the judging data.
netventure and Vizrt were successful in bringing the European Rugby Challenge HD broadcast to viewers throughout Europe with this same system.
