Viz Social Deployment Guide
Version 1.1 | Published January 26, 2022 ©
Introduction
Viz Social is the frontend moderation and content management environment for managing social formats based on social media searches. It is a web application that usually runs as a cloud service in AWS, but if needed can be installed locally on-site as well.
Viz Social feeds curated social content into Vizrt’s broadcast environment; where, depending on the architecture, the broadcast playout is controlled by Viz Pilot, Viz Trio or by Viz Social itself.
DCS (Dynamic Content Scheduler) is a Windows-based .NET application, functionally similar to Viz Media Sequencer. DCS deals with the automation and control of external broadcast devices and graphics engines. It also functions as a scheduler for automation actions and events. DCS is usually installed locally on the broadcaster’s network, but it is also possible to install in the cloud: typically when DCS will only be processing.
In this document, it’s assumed that Viz Social is installed in AWS, while DCS is installed locally in the DMZ.
