Maria: Vizrt launches Viz Pilot Edge 3.0, boasting a revamped, user-friendly interface and enhanced functionality, ensuring up to 3x faster start-up times and smoother navigation. The update aims to streamline graphics creation and playout in newsrooms, offering improved usability, intelligent media search, and new control options, including centralized order management and Viz Arc control.
Philip, can you tell me more about this?
Philip: Certainly. Vizrt is a dominant force in the television news graphics sector, often likened to an “800-pound gorilla.” It’s commendable to see them updating their software. A leading company could easily become complacent, but they’re continuously evolving. This software update makes things simpler by incorporating HTML graphics and more software-defined elements. Overall, it’s enhancing an already great product, ensuring it stays ahead of or at least on par with competitors. They also have some exciting new products on the horizon.
Maria: How does it improve graphics creation in newsrooms?
Philip: The focus is on simplification. There’s a saying: “we’ve got to do more with less.” But eventually, you end up doing less with even less. This software aims to assist newsrooms that might have smaller teams. They might not have a dedicated graphics expert, so this allows them to either create graphics or use graphics made by a team member. It’s all about making the process more streamlined and straightforward.
