VIDEO WALLS
Ventuz is a real-time graphics content creation, authoring and playout control
software. It is designed for high-end use in any area of audiovisual content production.
Be it professional presentations, video wall setups, multitouch applications or
broadcast graphics, Ventuz guarantees finest design paired with robust stability
and full functionality, even when integrated into complex hardware and software
systems.
The video wall has become a must-have in studios and on exhibition floors all over
the world. The visual power of multi-screen setups, the dynamic display of information as opposed to static signage, is one of the key features of Ventuz due to its
real-time nature.
Creating video content for large scale resolutions is expensive, inflexible, time consuming, and at some point, impossible. Ventuz can run dynamic, interactive, and
flexible content at any resolution without added cost. Film clips or live video, images, data streams - all assets can, of course, be integrated into the content and
exchanged at any time. That way a presentation never needs to be replaced in full,
but can be swiftly adjusted according to the needs at hand.
Ventuz is truly unique on the market of real-time 3D visualization. Not only does it
offer a multitude of possibilities to create compelling content with complete freedom
of design, but additionally it presents an intuitive workflow that does not require
any programming skills. This results in a broader variety of markets and companies
using high-end 3D visualization to bring their data and information to partners and
customers in intriguing ways. From product launches to exhibition booths, from live
TV events to digital signage networks, from interactive experiences to large-scale
show projections, Ventuz is the perfect tool to create astounding content.
Ventuz has been the number one design and authoring tool in our projects for
years because it offers a
very high level of flexibility
and customization.

The new software generation of Ventuz offers an easy to use and highly stable
setup assistant for multiscreen installations. It helps the user to spread Ventuz content not only over multiple screens, but also over a machine cluster, providing for
almost limitless scalability of video wall applications. Naturally, all outputs can be
fully genlocked and frame-synced.

The open structure of Ventuz lets the application communicate with databases and
electronic payment systems and thus allows for fully integrated info-terminal and
kiosk installations. Ventuz operates with the standard touch protocols; therefore
virtually every interaction device can be used.

Robust Video Architecture
for mission-critical
Applications
The flexibility of the Ventuz software suite makes it the perfect choice for all
broadcast graphics needs: driving a video wall, character generation or channel
branding. This means one content creation team can generate graphics for all
elements of the program, using a single toolset.
Size does matter! Especially in modern day event marketing, where crowds are big
and effects are bigger, a screen can simply not do the trick: the world is the only
adequate projection surface.
Ventuz 4 provides a simple and effective toolset to arrange complex projection
mapping projects with minimal effort. All shaping and edge blending functionalities are integrated into the software suite, bringing content creation and projection
management together in one coherent workflow.
Due to the open nature of the Ventuz architecture, new technologies can
easily become part of any production pipeline. Whether multichannel 3G, 4k
or stereoscopic 3D, Ventuz can effortlessly meet the demands of todays and
tomorrows broadcasting with only minimal changes to the existing workflow.

Ventuz Designer is the creation and authoring application for Ventuz content. Using
a powerful but inherently flexible node based authoring system, it combines the
worlds of logic, animation, compositing and design in a real-time 3D environment.
Complete freedom of creativity paired with data connectivity, state-logic animation,
and instant implementation of interactivity allows for content that is truly unique.

Non-linear Animation
Directors customizable interface allows operators to quickly and easily run through
a playlist, preview graphics, make last minute changes to the content and take the
graphics to air. The interface can be completely customized to suit any workspace
environment and can span across several screens. With lightning fast response
times, it is built with the requirements of a live production environment in mind.
Intelligent animation behavior is inherent in the Ventuz architecture. Thus, allowing
graphics to transition in, out and through multiple takes without manual intervention
becomes a simple task. The Ventuz state logic engine automatically selects the
appropriate animation path from any graphic to another. Graphic collision errors
are a thing of the past and operator control is significantly simplified.
RUNTIME
Ventuz Runtime is the output software for projects created in Ventuz Director and
Designer. It brings with it a highly stable 3D engine for maximum performance and
reliability. A variety of output options offers the perfect solution for any given task
at hand: be it machine clusters for video wall setups, or VGA over IP for complex
network based graphics operations. Additionally, Ventuz Runtime covers all areas of
broadcast output requirements, regardless of location, output format or resolution,
even 3G and 4k.
