NewTek and Vizrt collaborate for IP-based newsroom workflows

NewTek and Vizrt have announced their collaboration on IP-based newsroom solutions with Vizrt’s Viz Mosart studio automation system operating with the full line of NewTek live production professional products, including the NewTek IP Series.

“We designed our studio automation system to give broadcasters a flexible and easy way to deliver complex live productions,” said Petter Ole Jakobsen Vizrt CTO. “Vizrt has developed an IP structure that allows our customers to choose the best IP workflow for their needs. By combining our studio automation system with the versatility of the NewTek line of live production solutions, media companies have a new native IP workflow for all aspects of the production.”

“When you consider the demands placed on content producers today, to deliver the latest news and live sports, not only fast and accurately, to multiple audiences across many screens, including social media, the combination of the Viz Mosart automation system with NewTek solutions for live production represent what is clearly the future for the industry,” said Andrew Cross, NewTek president and CTO. “This is the result of a long collaboration between NewTek and Vizrt as we have been working to deliver a true IP based workflow, taking advantage of some of the most exciting technology changes that our industry has seen.”

Broadcasters will have the first opportunity to learn more about the Vizrt Mosart and NewTek IP product integration, at the Viz Mosart Summit on November 17-18. All automation enthusiasts are welcome to Frankfurt where Vizrt and the German broadcaster Hessischer Rundfunk (HR) will be hosting this user-driven gathering of broadcasters.
