Viz Pilot Edge
Templated HTML-based graphics platform designed for modern newsrooms. With Viz Pilot Edge, journalists can independently create and publish graphics including data-driven overlays directly from their browsers to tell the full story. With role-based access for added security.
The Vizrt Advantage
Distributed teams of reporters and producers can independently create graphics to complement their stories from the road, or in the newsroom. Templates support story-centric workflows and remove creative-editorial bottlenecks.
Ready for Tomorrow’s Production Needs, Today
Real-Time Data Refresh for Accurate Broadcasts
Keep scores, stats, and live data current, even while graphics are on air. Update Service runs server-side scripts that refresh data fields in real time, triggered by actions like take or cue. No need for manual manipulation, to republish or reinsert into the rundown.
Switch Over to Viz Pilot Edge Without Disruption
Viz Pilot Edge gives you modern power with familiar graphics workflows. These step-by-step resources will help you migrate from Viz Pilot News in a seamless, smooth, and fully supported way. And, our Migration Team is also ready to assist.
Real-World Results with Vizrt
Redefining Regional News with Viz Pilot Edge
I looked at various options before zeroing in on Viz Pilot Edge and Template Builder. What impressed me most was the quality of the graphics, the reliability and ease of use, plus tight integration with our NRCS which made it easy for our young team of journalists, new to TV news production, to adopt and use.

Producing New Zealand’s Most-Watched Election Coverage
Templated graphics was a game changer for our newsroom. Viz Pilot Edge and Template Builder are accessible and easy to use, so we’re able to give it to different graphic designers, and they’re able to quite quickly learn, building templates to make it usable by the newsroom, and also to integrate data.

Innovating News with Templated Graphics and Automation
We migrated to Viz Pilot Edge, Vizrt’s HTML-based templated newsroom graphics solution, because of its proven track record. And we introduced Viz Mosart studio automation system, to realize our goal of fully automated news production.

Futureproofing Newsroom Operations Everywhere
The best part was Template Builder and TypeScript, which has completely ruled out the need for Custom HTML, so I don’t have to use Custom HTML templates for Viz Pilot Edge. We are using TypeScript, combo templates, and Transition Logic. You get all the flexibility that you had in Template Wizard (Viz Pilot – ActiveX) earlier – you can do dropdowns, checkboxes, which is very good.
