The company, based in Lisbon and more than 350 employees, develops solutions for broadcast graphics; automation and playout; data and sports; augmented reality (AR); virtual studios, and media asset management (MAM) used by television networks, sports networks, entertainment channels and production companies in more than 120 countries. The company's technology and team carry out more than 15,000 operations of broadcast per year, strengthening sports productions, election coverage, production control room (PCR) and main control room (MCR) operations, broadcast automation, broadcast design and post-production.

Many of wTVision's turnkey systems include a card combination of I/O AJA Corvid 88, Corvid 44 12G y/o Kona, which help “ensure” “reliable, high-quality” live video capture and playback; In this regard, the AJA Developer SDK (software development kit) makes it easier for wTVision to incorporate technologies into customized solutions. Its graphics servers, for example, include I/O cards from AJA to allow the output of key and fill signals synchronized up to UltraHD (2SI or SQD).

According to wTVision's director of innovation and pre-sales, Daniel Gonçalves, the stability of each card allows wTVision and its customers to deliver “consistent, high-quality video at an affordable price.” “Tons” of Mini-Converter by AJA They have also been integrated into wTVision production kits to support a wide range of conversion, sync generation and distribution amplification needs.
