Vizrt Graphics Boost Fox Sports’ Super Bowl XLV Telecast

Vizrt provided a complement of on-air graphics to FOX Sports for coverage of Super Bowl XLV on Feb. 6 in Arlington, TX.

FOX Sports began using Vizrt at the beginning of the 2010 NFL season and deployed multiple Viz Trio and Viz Engine systems for the Super Bowl’s expanded coverage.

“We were given an incredible opportunity to display our graphics throughout one of the most stunning facilities in the world on Super Bowl Sunday,” says Zac Fields, Director of Remote Graphics, FOX Sports. “Vizrt enabled us to create elegant graphics, incorporating them into our pre-game by displaying graphics in Jumbotrons outside the stadium, in our booth displayed on an LED backdrop, and of course within our on-air presentation”

“FOX Sports has embraced Vizrt systems based upon the software’s superior capabilities,” says David Jorba, Senior Vice President, Operations, Vizrt Americas. “The speed with which it can make production changes and its inherent flexibility make the Vizrt system a winner with FOX Sports.”

“We owe a huge thank you to our Vizrt contacts for their incredible support during the Super Bowl production,” says Gary Hartley, Executive Vice President/Creative Director, FOX Sports. “The Vizrt presentation was seamless. In all, I believe it was one of the most visually impressive Super Bowls ever.”
