Out with the outdated: Powered by modern technologies, transitioning away from outdated, deprecated technologies like Active X and VB Script to ensure future-proof performance.

New, modern features: Role-based authentication, all-in-one plugin, and much more next generation functionality to come.

Takes the load off your creative team: Designers can instead focus on more advanced graphics, to wow your audience and stand out from competitors.

Always accessible: With brand and show-aligned templates, journalists can singlehandedly create graphics for their stories directly at their workstations, anytime.

Speeds up news production: Stories as fast as breaking news. Journalists have full control of their stories, accentuating with relevant graphics, maps and even curated social media posts, ready for playout in seconds.

Usability improvements: Common workflow elements are now ‘productified’ (as features within Viz Pilot Edge), so you no longer need to script for these features.

Help migrating your templates: Many of the templates can be easily rebuilt in Viz Pilot Edge- Template Builder. Or engage Vizrt approved third party experts to help rebuild your more advanced templates.
