Vizrt introduces Viz Anchor App for iPad at IBC

Sep 17, 2010 12:54 PM, By Russell Brown

    

At IBC2010, Vizrt presented the Viz Anchor App for the iPad. The application runs natively on Apple’s iPad and allows users to control newsroom playlists, including video and graphics, directly from the handheld device.

Viz Anchor App integrates seamlessly with existing Vizrt workflows. It provides a subset of Vizrt’s control applications and makes that control now available on the iPad. With Viz Anchor App, the presenter has an updated version of the playlist available locally and can control video clips and graphics scenes without a PC or queries to the control room. This results in a more dynamic presentation with a smooth and organic flow.

Viz Anchor App features an intuitive interface that takes advantage of the iPad’s capabilities, such as support for high-resolution video and an intuitive, touch-based interface. Through the device’s wireless connection, the Viz Anchor App can easily be updated whenever the playlist changes, so the presenter always has all elements of the latest playlist at his fingertips.
