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 Viz Trio.
Newsroom integration
Viz Pilot easily integrates into the editorial workflow with templates that can be accessed by any major
newsroom system – iNews, ENPS, Octopus, OpenMedia, Dalet, etc. Viz Pilot’s newsroom component is a small,
but advanced, template editing tool. It enables journalists to add images, text, videos, and maps. It also supports
real-time preview and snapshots. Video content is searched by keywords and the journalist edits the video and
adds graphics to the video on a timeline. With Viz Pilot journalists are able to have multiple Transition Logic
graphics on several timeline tracks, creating an overlap of the graphics. This gives a more sophisticated graphics
presentation when the content is played to air from Viz Engine.
This workflow allows the journalist to change graphic content up until the moment the video and graphics
are played on air. It also allows the graphic and video content to be played in a variety of formats in real-time
from the Viz Engine for multiplatform distribution. Viewers on mobile devices, online, and on-air have the best
possible viewing experience without the delay caused by transcoding.
Dive into social media
Viz Pilot takes feeds from social media such as Twitter and Foursquare and displays the messages as they
happen. Metadata can also be acquired and used to automatically create maps showing viewer location.
Order Management
Order Management tracks requests of media assets from editorial staff and the delivery of media assets by the
creative staff. Built on top of Viz Pilot and Viz One, the system uses plug-in and API architectures to integrate with
Viz Pilot
a central order management system. Users can access via a web interface or directly from inside the newsroom
control system.
