Viz Mosart 4 changes the studio production dynamic by adding live IP video support directly within the touch-based user interface, opening the door to entirely new workflows and allowing producers to build shows that can be run more easily, from a wide variety of locations. Further improvements to usability also mean that anyone in the organization is able to execute a pre-built show, reducing dependencies on limited resources.

Live sources in the interface

As a market first, Viz Mosart 4 features a fully customizable interface with interactive live sources. Viz Mosart integrates video over IP directly to your monitor to give an unrivaled view of the show – displaying any video source, program and preview directly in the user interface. Building on the software-based and IP leadership within Vizrt Group and NDI®, this setup can be deployed to an existing network environment and does not require radical infrastructure or monitoring changes.

Breaking news tools

Viz Mosart was made for breaking news. New functionality gives instant and unscripted access to assets including templates, show openers, and much more. The new graphics panel lets you access all your Vizrt graphics, preview them and then put them directly on-air. When combined, these tools offer true innovation and access to on-air news production in ways that have previously just not been possible.

Template management

The template organization capability introduced in Viz Mosart 4 significantly reduces the time spent on creation and maintenance of automation templates, allowing you to focus on your show and not the tools needed to create and bring your vision to life.

Viura is a CGI software tool for editors and presenters that provides intelligent camera control in the radio studio. The solution is entirely manufacturer-independent through a combination of video hardware from Blackmagic Design and our specially-designed control software. This means it’s compatible with other dira solutions, as well as with third-party solutions for playout and production.

Triggered by microphone-level detection, fader starts, or by key actions, the software automatically switches to the corresponding configured camera in the studio. Packaging elements, such as lower thirds or broadcast logos, are generated automatically and also can be displayed automatically or by pressing a button.

• Automatic operations with no additional studio staff required


• Event-controlled camera changes (e.g. by microphone input level, fader starts, etc.)


• Individual logos and texts displayed


• Automatic background recording


• Workflow can be implemented with any mixing console using Ember+


• Integrated touch interface

Ensure your content reaches the widest audiences, even on those breaking news. AUDIMUS.MEDIA creates automatic closed captionings for all of live programs and nowadays they are reaching more that 500 million viewers spread in two continents!

Post-Production Automation

Post-production workflows are notably slow and manual, with files being shipped by hard drive  and editors tasked with batch encoding and ingesting files, as well as manually entering custom bin information into their Avid systems. These steps can add days to the production schedule, slowing content creation.

Now, latakoo has created a solution that automates this workflow for teams using Avid Media Composer, shaving days off of the current process.

Automation with MediaComposer

With latakoo, crews on location can send a lightweight proxy file to the editors within minutes of the shoot. With latakoo’s patented compression/upload process, proxy files can be created and quickly uploaded to your private cloud account, for storage and sharing. Metadata associated with the files – such as card number, shoot date, camera ID, project number, or any custom field - can be collected for each group of videos transferred. The metadata form is completely customizable for your project requirements.

After upload, the files are automatically downloaded by latakoo HUB and dropped inside your firewall. All the editors have to do is drag the group of files into the appropriate bin in Avid Media Composer. The files, along with the metadata, automatically populate the Avid bin with the correct information.

And because the proxy files retain their original video ID, relinking the original media is easily achieved.

latakoo is a complete system, so when that first draft is finished, you can easily export it to the cloud for review and approval.

Reclaim Your Time

Imagine saving days off of your current video workflow; automating proxy creation, ingest and metadata into one simple system. It’s possible with latakoo.

As IP continues to go mainstream for video production, producers have identified key requirements. They’re looking to move away from bulky, expensive hardware to more flexible software and cloud-based solutions as well as more lightweight field gear like bonded cellular backpacks. They need IP streaming solutions that can be incorporated easily into production workflows, with the ability to ingest non-baseband sources.  Broadcast Operations need to be able to use the entire gamut of IP-based protocols, and sometimes several of them during the same production. Likewise, they need fast, frictionless ways to transcode feeds and files into multiple video house formats for asset management and distribution. 

The concept of an IP network operations center (IP-NOC) addresses all of these requirements by bringing together the state of the art in IP-based signal acquisition and cloud-based media asset management (MAM). Driven by these enabling technologies, the IP NOC offers a paradigm shift from traditional broadcast operation centers and satellite trucks to smaller and more nimble transmission gear, cameras, and capture devices. 

Automate-IT establishes automation, orchestration, and collaboration between creative, broadcast, IT and digital departments. Fundamentally, Automate-IT breaks down barriers for promo versioning production and distribution.
