  • Host name: IP address or hostname of Viz Engine.

  • Encoding: Font encoding on the Viz Engine. Use UTF-8.

  • Newsroom channel alias: Alias provided by the NRCS for directing the lower third or video wall element to the correct engine.

  • Shared engines with AVAutomation: Select when the Trio Interface and the AV Automation are sharing play-out on the engines.
    Once enabled, the Trio Interface will signal the AV Automation when there are no Viz Mosart-controlled lower thirds on air, allowing for any cued full screen graphics controlled through the AV Automation to re-cue.
    The engine configuration must be the same in both applications.

  • TL: Specifies that Transition Logic is used.

  • Cont. scene: Use Continue for takeout of scene-based graphics.

  • Preview engine: The Vizrt engine used for previewing overlays.

  • Shared engines with AVAutomation: This functionality has the prerequisite that the graphic configuration in AV Automation is equal that of Viz Trio.
    Viz Trio will protect the engine from being used by AV Automation when CG is active in Viz Trio.
