The Viz Artist design machine should preferably have the same specifications as the Viz
Engine playout renderers, especially if the designers need to test performance issues
on demanding scenes.
If designers are creating templates for Viz Content Pilot (VCP), it is recommended that
VCP is installed on a separate machine for more accurate playout emulation on Viz
Engine .
2.3.3 Viz Content Pilot
Viz Content Pilot (VCP) is built on a client-server software model where the VCP client
connects to the Viz Content Pilot Database (Oracle database server) for templates and
content, and the Media Sequencer for playout.
• VCP requires an Oracle database as the back-end server.
• VCP requires a Media Sequencer for communication with Viz Engine and other
systems.
• VCP 5.5 requires Media Sequencer version 1.21 or later.
On the server side, the database serves all clients storing and retrieving content data
for the control, delivery and triggering of graphics rendered on the graphics renderer
Viz Engine.
