How IP-based software defines visual storytelling solutions to mitigate some of the effects of remote production.
In times of crisis, it is often observed that people respond with great innovations. The crises have led to advances in the fields of medicine, aviation, communications and IT, to name just a few.
The same phenomenon occurs today, this time in the world of live video production and especially in the field of broadcasting.
Broadcasters and media owners seek to keep their audiences informed so they can make informed decisions about how best to protect them. If the crews can't get to the studios, or if a presenter has to double as a director, it's very difficult to get a show off the ground.
Remote video production
Remote video production is a solution that has seen dramatic developments in recent months. REMI (REMote Integration) as used in live sports productions has matured particularly quickly, thanks to advances in telecommunications and infrastructure. IP-based video protocols such as SMPTE 2110 and its NDI Vizrt Group provide further flexibility and choice for broadcasters. The Group Vizrt has worked with broadcasters using both standards, such as CNN in their Hudson Yards SMPTE 2110 project and TV2 in Norway, who take advantage of the flexibility offered by NDI.

When these developments are combined with video production solutions such as software See Mozart, provide the possibility of creating with reduced resources and the virtualization of control rooms. Thus the modern control suite becomes a remote and mobile element with secure accessibility at will.
Highlighting the facts, often under adverse circumstances, led her Vizrt in its creation Viz Story. A powerful, fast, digital production system that gives journalists the tools they need to create and publish their stories and produce broadcast-quality content from their browser from remote locations.
Back in the control room, the software based switcher, Viz Vectar is native IP (either SMPTE 2110 or NDI) to take advantage of the opportunities that networks, software and computers can offer presenters. The Viz Verdi combines studio automation with software-defined switching to provide further flexibility and robustness in the control room, and is designed with NDI and SDI inputs and outputs to allow connection between old and new equipment.
