Ever growing amounts of content are an increasing challenge for today's broadcasters. Though today, most networks have taken the step from analog to digital storage, it is not enough to simply move hundreds or even thousands of hours of video and audio material into a database: Availability and accessibility are an essential precondition for efficient Media Asset Management.

Vizrt offers a family of Media Asset Management (MAM) systems that cover the whole range from entry-level media management in a box, to fully scalable solutions for demanding broadcasters that operate different networks across multiple sites. All Vizrt MAM systems are optimized for accessibility and speed. Journalists can search the media database directly from their desktop and add pictures and video to pre-defined templates. The consequent creation of browse versions for all files allows video editing from the moment files are ingested into the MAM system.

Flexibility on the ingest side is another strength of the Vizrt news solution. Media files can be copied from all common sources and in most formats: from live feeds, to tape robots or simple drop folders. The Vizrt MAM solutions even support the direct transfer of high quality video clips from mobile phones.

Workflow
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 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.

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.
