Newsroom integration
Viz Pilot’s newsroom component integrates with all major newsroom systems: Dalet, ENPS, iNews, Octopus,
OpenMedia, etc. It supports real-time preview and snapshots, giving the journalist full control of how a prepared
news rundown will look. Video content is searched by keywords and the journalist edits the video and adds
graphics to the video on a timeline.
Playlist management
Viz Pilot includes a powerful multi-user playlist with real-time updates allowing multiple producers to update the
playlist simultaneously. The playlist can also be automatically synchronized with a variety of applications, such
as newsroom systems or other Vizrt systems such as Viz Trio.
Viz Pilot Edge newsroom tool
The easy-to-use browser-based journalist interface, Viz Pilot Edge, provides all the tools a journalist needs to
work with creating graphics in a newsroom script. Viz Pilot Edge is compatible with Mac and PC and runs natively
in the Octopus Newsroom System and ENPS as a MOS plugin.
Allow for last minute edits
With an integrated workflow from the newsroom to the control room, journalists can change graphic content,
images and video timelines up until the moment content is played on air.
Keep your brand design consistent
By using a variety of template forms, journalists can plan their rundowns by entering new data, adding images

creation can be totally independent from the design department.
