How do you make two people thousands of kilometers apart appear side-by-side in a virtual studio instantaneously? Teleportation technology. While it may sound like science fiction, Vizrt regularly brings people together from separate locations across the globe with help from a pair of Matrox® Monarch EDGE 4K/multi-HD encoder and decoder devices when producing its own VizrTV online series. The Monarch EDGE encoder and decoder pair alongside Vizrt’s software-defined visual storytelling tools for broadcasters allowed Vizrt to ‘teleport’ resident experts Chris Black, Vizrt’s Norway-based Head of Brand and Content Team, and Gerhard Lang, Vizrt’s Austria-based Chief Technology Officer into a virtual studio in Vomp, Austria – along with guest experts from anywhere in the world. With the ability to seamlessly execute both remote and cloud-based productions during different episodes, the Monarch EDGE has become Vizrt’s go-to broadcast-quality encoding and decoding appliances for delivering low-latency, strikingly-realistic virtual interviews.

Part of the DigitalGlobe Online service is FirstLook, a faster, more cost-effective way to capture events from around the world.

Technology will drive storytelling
The art of storytelling will become more complex and more informative. Audiences are growing more diverse and get their information from a myriad of sources. If a broadcaster is going to survive they must be able to adapt to new technologies that will help them get content into and out-of the studio quickly, while also remaining reactive to changes as a story happens.
