What’s New in Viz Arena?

Downstream AI

Viz Arena 5.4 introduces Downstream AI, a new single-box downstream workflow that uses automated insert graphics handling and cut detection—powered by Viz AI—during camera and DVE transitions to deliver a 100-percent fail-safe operation you can count on.

Downstream AI significantly simplifies operation, reduces complexity – and therefore errors, removes hardware to speed set-up time, and delivers all of this at a lower operational cost when compared to managed service providers.  

Viz Arena in the Cloud

Powered by Viz Engine 5, Vizrt’s powerful real-time live 3D graphics renderer and compositor, and supported by NDI In/NDI Out capability, Viz Arena can now be deployed in the cloud, as well as on-premises, so you always have the choice of selecting the optimal production workflow that’s right for your live production.

Cloud certification also means that Viz Arena is the latest live production solution to be added to Viz Now, Vizrt’s award-winning free-to-use automated deployment tool that breaks down the barriers to cloud.

Viz Now enables easy deployment to the cloud of 4K switching, overlay graphics, audio mixing, intercom, and – with the latest release of Viz Arena – AR graphics, including virtual ads, efficiently and in under 15 minutes at the click of a button.

Simple Set-up & Control

Vizrt product designers have created a solution that is easy to learn and operate. Viz Arena does not require specialized and complicated hardware, so you’re up and running quicker and without error game after game.

Viz Arc, Vizrt’s customizable AR graphics control application, centralizes control of all processes and workflows from a single, intuitive interface. And because Viz Arena is an image-based solution, it doesn’t require specialized mechanical tracking hardware, so camera calibration is easy – and now up to 2-times faster than before.

Precise Keying Powered by Viz AI

Any production can benefit from the power of Viz AI, and nowhere is the need clearer than in the fast-moving, data-dense world of sports broadcast.

Advanced Keyers developed for Viz Arena uses Viz AI to intelligently handle the ambient conditions of various sports. With dedicated algorithms trained on each sport, AI-powered keying translates into unprecedented visual quality for editorial graphics and virtual ads.
