2.3.5 Viz Gateway

Viz Gateway is Vizrt’s implementation of the MOS Protocol. It enables users of a

Newsroom Computer System (NCS) to perform instant updates on playlists in Vizrt’s

control applications (Viz Trio and VCP).

The Viz Gateway is a framework built to help in newsroom integration tasks. Currently

Viz Gateway support NCSs based on the MOS Protocol that is supported by the leading

NCS vendors.

Viz Gateway is in principle an extension to Media Sequencer; hence, any Viz Gateway

supported version of the Media Sequencer may be configured to run as a Viz Gateway

server using the Viz Gateway configuration tool.
