Vizrt Vizion Tower with 16 SDI I/O Flex Bundle

Vizrt Vizion Tower with 16 SDI I/O Flex Bundle is a high-capacity live-production system built for broadcasters, sports networks, media publishers, educational facilities, and live-event teams working across SDI and IP environments. It supports up to 44 simultaneous external video inputs, including resolution-independent NDI sources and configurable 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, and HD-SDI connections for formats up to UHD 2160p59.94.

The bundle combines the Vizion tower platform with the Flex Control Panel, giving operators direct access to video switching, audio mixing, PTZ control, graphics, playback, audio I/O, and talkback from one surface. The system also integrates M/E processing, keying, virtual sets, recording, streaming, monitoring, macros, and Viz Flowics graphics for demanding multi-camera productions.

Why It Helps

Vizion Tower combines the main functions of a live control room within one production platform. Switching, audio, graphics, playback, compositing, virtual sets, recording, streaming, monitoring, and PTZ control are handled within the same system, reducing the number of separate devices engineering teams need to deploy and maintain.

The 16 configurable SDI ports provide additional flexibility for productions with a larger baseband footprint. Cameras, feeds, returns, and outputs can be reassigned as requirements change, while NDI extends the available source and destination count across the network. The Flex Control Panel keeps the key operational functions within reach during fast-paced live shows.

System Characteristics

• Hybrid SDI and NDI architecture supports dense baseband connectivity, network sources, media players, graphics, and remote inputs in one workflow
• Integrated Flex control surface provides direct access to switching, audio, PTZ, graphics, playback, audio I/O, and talkback
• Multi-layer production engine combines eight M/E buses, LiveMatte keying, COMPs, virtual sets, media players, and graphics buffers
• Built-in recording and distribution supports ISO recording, streaming encoders, replay, export, and social-media delivery
• Viz Flowics graphics integration adds cloud-based graphics creation, data connectors, animation tools, asset storage, and collaborative access
