Vizrt Unveils Viz Mosart 5.1

Vizrt has released Viz Mosart 5.1, the latest update to the leading broadcast studio automation solution, unlocking switcher-less workflows through the new Engine Switcher for Viz Mosart.

Drawing on the power of Viz Engine – the most powerful and versatile broadcast graphics platform in the world – Engine Switcher unlocks the automated production of graphics-centric content and automated scene-based switching without needing a discrete, dedicated switcher.

Through Engine Switcher, entire shows can now be designed as a graphics scene – including video switching – offering simplicity for the journalist by defining show content in the rundown with powerful preset scenes while automating the production with Viz Mosart.
Increasing production flexibility and quality, reducing footprint and costs

For decades, broadcasters have been forced to bend their studio workflows around a single piece of hardware. Dedicated traditional video switchers consume significant power, space, and specialist expertise – increasingly premium resources.

Inspired by developments made during Vizrt’s recent collaboration with German news broadcaster, WELT, and their vision for modern storytelling, Viz Mosart’s Engine Switcher provides automated control of switching functionality directly in the graphics scene. This unlocks powerful and automated production workflows with scene-based switching, providing unique transition flexibility that cannot be easily achieved with a traditional switcher, including automated SDI and SMPTE ST 2110 source switching, clip playback, transitions, DVEs, and rendering of 3D graphics in an integrated and software-defined solution. NDI® source switching will be supported in a future release.
