Viz Now 2.0.0

Release Date: 2025-11-13

Viz Now 2.0 is all about alleviating capacity-related surprises, streamlining upgrades, and giving operators richer self-service controls. Here’s what you’ll notice first:

🚀 Launch with confidence

  • Capacity Reservation Pre-Check & Guided Retry Before a space starts (or restarts) Viz Now now verifies that every EC2 type can be reserved. If capacity is tight you can retry, accept On-Demand, or abort—no more “blind” launches.

  • Space-scoped, short-lived CR Groups Each space owns its own targeted reservation block, so another production can’t steal your GPUs.

  • Bring Your Own Capacity Reservation: Enterprises with pre-purchased CRs simply toggle them on and let Viz Now automation do the rest.

  • Green / Yellow capacity pills: A glance at the dashboard tells you which apps are protected (green = reserved) and which are running On-Demand (yellow).

⚡ Resize, refresh, repeat – without downtime

  • Flexible EC2 Instance-Type Adjustment Resize a running application to a bigger or smaller instance — EBS volumes, IPs, and user data stay intact. Downtime drops, and the system is redeployed to a single reboot.

  • Viz Arena support for EC2 G6/G6e Work around G5 scarcity and potentially lower GPU cost. Note: EC2 G6/G6e support has been validated for up-stream workflows only; down-stream rendering paths remain on G5 until full testing is complete.

  • TriCaster Vectar 8-4-250415 Delivers bug fixes, security patches, and a sturdier Zoom-conferencing workflow..

  • Viz Trio 4.4 Introduces playlist-first production, faster media search, and more reliable macros.

  • 3Play 3PV 8-3-250430 Cleaner UI, accurate outputs, smarter disk-space calc—ready for live sports.

  • NDI 6.2 + Discovery Server Every AMI ships with NDI 6.2, and the new Discovery Server app is available. Open it from the widget to monitor receivers and control sources—no manual install required.

đź”— Network details at your fingertips

  • AWS Account ID + VPC ID + Public Hostname display (copy-to-clipboard) Stop hunting through the AWS console: Viz Now now surfaces the AWS Account ID, VPC ID, public hostname, and a direct console link right inside the Space and App details.

Why this matters to you

  • Predictable show starts – capacity is checked and reserved before you hit Go.

  • Minutes-not-hours upgrades – resize or refresh apps without redeploying entire spaces.

  • Instant network insight – VPC and hostname details are one click away.

  • Always current – latest NDI, Vectar, Trio, and 3Play builds .

Welcome to Viz Now 2.0—built to keep your live cloud productions running, growing, and free of capacity surprises.
