Components and Applications used with Viz Trio

This section contains information on the following topics:

Viz Engine

The Viz Engine is the output service (renderer) for Viz Trio, and is a separate installer. A Viz Engine is required in order for Viz Trio to preview graphics. Check that Viz Engine is installed, configured and working before installing and using Viz Trio.

A licensed Vizrt dongle must be attached to the USB or printer port on the machine. After installing the Viz Engine, make sure to also install any additional plug-ins, such as Viz Datapool. The plug-ins required will vary depending on the scene design and integrations.

To install the Viz Engine, refer to the instructions in the Viz Engine Administrator Guide.

Media Sequencer

The Media Sequencer is in most cases installed on a server acting as a middle tier between Viz Trio and Viz Engine.

To install the Media Sequencer

  1. Run the installer and follow the directions given by the installation wizard.

  2. Optional: Install the Oracle 10g Runtime Client.

    • Restart the Media Sequencer after installing the database client.

    • A database client is needed when connected to Viz Gateway for accessing the Viz Pilot database.

Viz Pilot

In order to connect to Viz Pilot’s Oracle database, a runtime installation of the Oracle database client is required. It is recommended to use the same client version as the Oracle database uses. After the client is installed, Viz Trio’s database connection can be configured. See Viz Pilot Users Guide for installation instructions.
