Vizrt recommends the use of remote preview that has no need for a local Viz Engine on
the client machine; hence, local preview is not recommended.
All users of machines installed with Viz Engine must have read and write access to the
following folder: C:\Program files\vizrt\.
The Newsroom Component gets its Viz One connection parameters from the VCP
database. This is also true for the older Viz Video Hub; however, for Viz Video Hub you
may also choose, during installation, to use an INI file instead.
Note: Newsroom Component’s timeline editor does not work on virtual machines.
Viz Content Pilot Thumbnail Generator
VCP’s Thumbnail Generator is an optional addition to a VCP setup that generates
data element snapshots used as thumbnails in order to visualize graphics and video
elements in the VCP client’s playlist.
It is recommended to install Thumbnail Generator on the Viz Graphic Hub or Viz
Content Pilot Database machine.
It is also recommended to configure Viz Thumbnail Generator to fetch scene snapshots
from one of the newsroom Viz Engine preview machines. If installed on a local Viz
Engine, see also Viz Engine .
Caution: Do not use an on-air Viz Engine to generate thumbnails.
