Info: The system overview above shows a basic setup. A Viz Engine is typically used for local preview.

  • The Trio operator creates pages, most often from pre-made templates. A page is an instance of a template that can be customized with data values, like sports results or election data.

  • When the page is ready, the Trio operator can easily send pages with the necessary information to air.

  • Viz Trio automatically uses Media Sequencer to trigger final rendering of the output by the Viz Engine.

Note: Although Viz Trio, Media Sequencer and Viz Engine can be installed and operated on a single machine, they are mostly installed on separate servers for performance and security reasons.

  • Viz Trio can also interface with other systems for news feed and media resources, for instance MAM systems such as Viz One for video and media resources and Viz Pilot.

  • Social Media feeds and news can be interfaced and ingested in the workflow with the Viz Social TV solution.

System Overview - Advanced Setup

  • An advanced setup with newsroom and video integration involves several other Vizrt products such as a Vizrt MAM system, Viz Pilot, Viz Gateway and third-party systems such as a newsroom and database system.

  • Viz Gateway can be used to connect Viz Trio to most Newsroom systems using the MOS protocol.

Note: Viz Pilot can also be used as the control application. Viz Pilot also has a TCP/IP connection to the Oracle database.
