Chapter 7: Configuration 61
For Viz Engine 3.x users, Viz Multiplexer is not required as Viz has its own built-
in multiplexing functionality; however, the same ports apply as for Viz 2.x.
Note: In control rooms it is recommended to use a stand-alone Viz Engine with a
reference monitor for full graphics and video preview.

7.6 Working with Local Viz Preview
Local preview requires Viz Content Pilot client’s preview plugin and a Viz Engine
with plugins (see the
Plugin Installation section). The local Viz Engine used for
preview rendering should preferably have the same configuration and hardware
setup as the Viz Engine used for program renderering.
If you are using Viz Engine to preview video clips from Viz One, Viz Engine must
be installed with Video Codecs (e.g. MPEG-4 codec and Haali Media Splitter).
By default the VCP installer will not install the preview plugin; however, this can be
done by performing a Custom installation.
IMPORTANT! Viz 3.x users must configure Viz To automatically login to Viz Graphics
Hub (database) as the Viz Content Pilot client is unable to do this.
