Vizrt releases AI-driven advances designed to focus on speed, intelligence, and accuracy in the industry media asset management (MAM) system, Viz One 8.1, as it has claimed in a statement.

Broadcasters and content owners today face mounting pressure to deliver more content, faster, and across more platforms. With the ever-growing volume of raw footage and the limits of manual shot logging and archive research, traditional workflows are no longer sustainable.

Aiming to address these common challenges, Viz One 8.1 integrates with aiconix’s DeepVA sovereign AI platform, automating key stages of media management and moving teams from time-consuming manual processes to managing media with speed and accuracy.

With the integration, the AI-powered visual recognition in Viz One 8.1 has the intention of letting the user surface the content in seconds. It adds visual understanding to archives and workflows, automatically identifying and tagging faces, objects, and scenes within video material, including through trainable custom models.

The AI automated metadata generation replaces the need for manual logging. Instead, teams can review metadata logged by AI, train custom models for unknown entities, and perform optional quality assurance reviews. The strength in reliability is significant: up to a 50% increase in logging accuracy, 10 times the speed in logging workflows, and five times quicker search and discovery.

With the increase in time efficiency, surfacing the best clips, scenes, and themes dramatically expands the possibilities for reuse, compliance, and even monetization of the content.

“Content creators need AI that works for their specific needs, not a one-size-fits-all solution”, affirms Esther Arroyo, CMO at aiconix. “DeepVA’s ability to train custom models and generate structured, machine-readable metadata ensures Viz One customers can optimize their workflows and deliver more relevant, localized content to their audiences”.

Faster research and clip discovery mean fewer bottlenecks and creative flexibility for broadcasters and content creators working across news, sports, and entertainment on any platform.

Viz One 8.1 builds on the system’s containerized architecture designed to scale across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments. DeepVA’s AI services are deployed within each Viz One environment.

“Viz One 8.1 is the next step in our long-term vision to accelerate efficiencies”, concludes Jochen Bergdolt, Head of MAM at Vizrt. “By combining Viz One’s proven reliability with intelligent automation, we’re giving customers the tools to work smarter today – and build stronger media operations for tomorrow”.
