Vizrt Vizion Tower with 8 SDI I/O Flex Bundle

Vizrt Vizion Tower with 8 SDI I/O Flex Bundle is a hybrid IP and baseband live-production system designed for broadcasters, sports networks, media publishers, educational facilities, and live-event teams. 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 production formats up to UHD 2160p59.94.

The bundle combines the Vizion tower production platform with the Flex Control Panel, giving operators direct control over video switching, audio mixing, PTZ cameras, graphics, media playback, and talkback from one surface. The system also brings together M/E processing, keying, virtual sets, recording, streaming, monitoring, macros, and Viz Flowics graphics for complex multi-camera productions.

Why It Helps

Vizion Tower combines the core functions of a live control room in one production platform. Switching, audio, graphics, playback, compositing, virtual sets, recording, streaming, monitoring, and PTZ control are managed within the same system, reducing the need to connect and maintain several separate processing devices.

The Flex Control Panel gives operators a physical interface for the functions used most often during a show. Video mixing, audio levels, PTZ operation, graphics, media playback, tally, and talkback can be managed from one control surface, while NDI extends the available source and output count beyond the eight local SDI connections.

System Characteristics

• Hybrid SDI and NDI architecture supports baseband cameras, network sources, media players, graphics, and remote inputs in one workflow
• Integrated Flex control surface provides direct access to switching, audio, PTZ, graphics, media playback, and talkback functions
• 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
