Viz Content Pilot Thumbnail Generator
VCP’s Thumbnail Generator is an optional addition to a VCP setup that generates
data element snapshots used as thumbnails in order to visualize graphics and
video elements in the VCP client’s playlist.
It is recommended to install Thumbnail Generator on the Viz Graphic Hub or Viz
Content Pilot Database machine.
It is also recommended to configure Viz Thumbnail Generator to fetch scene
snapshots from one of the newsroom Viz Engine preview machines. If installed on
a local Viz Engine, see also Viz Engine.
CAUTION! Do not use an on-air Viz Engine to generate thumbnails.
Viz Template Wizard
Viz Template Wizard is a template design and scripting tool used to create
templates for graphics and video. Viz Template Wizard can also be used to create
control templates for Viz Trio.
It is possible to install Viz Template Wizard on the same machine as Viz Artist;
however, it is recommended to install it on a separate design client for template
designers.
