A typical installation includes one Viz Multichannel and a local Viz Engine. In addition you typically install Viz Multichannel’s Schedule Collector (SCC) and Playlist Importer (PLI) in order to collect and import playlists through mapping settings into Viz Multichannel.

Viz Engine is used for preview and is typically a VGA version without SDI out capabilities. This setup allows the Scheduling Center to prepare and preview playlists before sending them to playout by the program Viz Engine(s).

The following software components are in use:

Viz Multichannel client
Viz Multichannel’s Schedule Collector (SCC)
Viz Multichannel’s Playlist Importer (PLI)
Viz Engine (local preview)
Media Sequencer
