Viaplay automates its Premier League content production with Viz Mosart (Vizrt)

Viz Mosart, automation solution developed by Vizrt, has allowed Viaplay increase content production and improve the quality and coherence of programs thanks to its automation functions, allowing a single operator to direct an entire program.

The development of Vizrt provides operators in a simple way with all the functions most common of the control room through predefined actions that simultaneously control the lighting, graphics rendering, robotic cameras and video walls. In this way, Viaplay operators in Denmark and Norway create live content consistent with the brand that seeks to entertain and inform fans during each match of the league. Premier League.

To implement Viz Mosart effectively in Viaplay studios, Vizrt offered a complete training about the automation solution to team leaders, including program design training to help them be as creative as possible. These were in charge of defining the automation of repetitive tasks, which has been actively used in the formats of pre and post of Premier League matches, as well as in the break summary. After the successful deployment of the Viaplay solution, it plans to expand its use to more markets and other sports coverage during the year, including Champions League, Formula 1, the Super League or FIS skiing.

Robin Gerbino, vice president of sports production and operations at Viaplay, considers this implementation “an important step” in the “future of our sports productions.” "Without the reliable system and solid experience we received from Vizrt as a partner, it would not have been possible to launch this project in such a short time. With our new partnership with Vizrt, focused on the implementation of Viz Mosart to reinforce our productions, we are very satisfied with the collaboration and support we have received, which has made it possible to launch it at the start of the new football season," he explains.

On Vizrt's part, Andrew O’Neil, vice president of sports, strategy and growth, believes that automation in productions should be “flexible” to be able to mark a “real difference”, a philosophy that marks the constant updates of Viz Mosart: “Adaptability is as important as reliability, especially in live sports, where much of the excitement comes from not knowing what is going to happen. The goal is to free up time, while maintaining the efficiency of the production process. With Viz Mosart, the program is completely yours and you can create and change it as you wish.”
