This is the day that all broadcasters have been preparing for. Now it will show whether their pre-election predictions have been accurate. On this day, the coverage concentrates mostly on numbers and their representation. Who will win a seat, who could win or lose the majority, what do the first projections tell about the possible outcome?

The studio is the most visible part of the live election coverage. The Vizrt election solution provides powerful tools that allow broadcasters to create complex 2D and 3D virtual sets, and enhance existing sets with virtual objects that are fully interactive. Vizrt’s unique Hologram technology that premiered during the US Election on CNN has shown the impact that a new technology can have on the reception of the election coverage.

In most cases, only counting the votes as they come in is not enough. Some districts are counted earlier than others, and what looks like a comfortable lead can quickly turn into a major defeat. Whenever the election database is fed with the latest results they are analyzed and set into context. Touch screens and video walls have become an indispensible tool for what-if scenarios, and allow the presenter to visualize different possible outcomes with virtually no delay.

This is where Vizrt’s real-time graphics allow broadcasters to present a superior overall picture. Tickers at the bottom keep the viewers updated on the latest regional results from all over the country. At the same time, Viz Curious Maps allows to show in detail how each region has vote.

Viz Video Hub™

Viz Video Hub™ is the media asset management (MAM) system for people who don’t want to think about their storage. It is easy to set up, easy to use, and easy to expand. Not to mention that it is one of the most cost-effective ways to engage into file based archiving.

Viz Video Hub allows you to store every type of media file that you are likely to encounter; video clips, pictures, graphics, and even audio files. Once the files are stored they can be searched and accessed from any standard PC using detailed metadata and powerful search functions. If you are using other Vizrt systems from before, Viz Video Hub becomes even more capable; by integrating with a Vizrt graphics system, it can be used as a standalone production unit.

Viz Reporter™

Now you can pocket a whole camera crew. And while you are at it, the video editor as well. While the photo and video options in modern mobile phones are often on par with "real" cameras, using the material in a broadcast scenario has so far not been feasible. Awkward file transfers and heavy compression made sure that the resulting clips did not meet the necessary quality standards.

Viz Reporter turns the situation around. Installed on standard mobile phones it provides you with everything that you need to capture the moment.

Viz Ardome™

Why is Viz Ardome™ one of the most successful Media Asset Management systems worldwide? Maybe, it's because Viz Ardome is not at all like other MAM systems in the industry.

The first and probably most important difference is that the implementation process starts with no system at all. Why is this so significant? Because it means that we tailor a product that is adapted exactly to your needs, instead of forcing you to tweak your workflow to suit a system that comes off the shelf.

The other big difference is that Viz Ardome is not only a storage system. It is part of the Vizrt Media Asset Management family that consists of a whole range of products, covering different tasks from tape ingest to video editing. But don't worry; existing third party systems are by no means left out. Viz Ardome integrates with leading systems for non-linear editing, scheduling, newsrooms, and playout automation.
