For controlling Graphics Channels and/or Superchannels, ports 55000-550016 and 56000-56007 are used. (can be changed in the config)

|
Viz Pilot Data Server |
8177 |
Used to connect over http with the REST interface. |
|
Media Sequencer |
8580 8594 |
For clients connecting to the Media Sequencer. 8580 is specifically used to connect over http with the REST interface. |
|

|
Gateway |

For DB notification events.For Gateway controller clients.For MOS object updates.For MOS playlist updates. |
|
Viz World Server |
10100 10200 |
10100 (TCP) is a Server Allocator listener port for Viz World Client connections, and is only used in order for clients to get connection details about Viz World Server(s). The first client connection will always be diverted to port 102. In case of multiple server instances port numbers are assigned according to a predefined schema (i.e. 10101, 10102 for server instance 2 and 3 and so on). In case there is no Server Allocator, Viz World Server will itself switch to port 102.10100 (UDP) is a Viz World Server listener port for Server Allocator communication.10200 (UDP) is a Server Allocator listener port for Viz World Server communication.Both UDP ports are internal ports used between the servers.For more information, please see the Viz World Client and Server 11.1 User’s Guide and later. See also Vizrt Maps. |
|
Viz Pilot |
10640 |
Used by Gateway to establish a connection to Viz Pilot in order to send and receive updates on MOS messages (e.g. items and playlists). |
|
Viz Engine |
14300 |
Alternative port used to avoid conflicts with port 6100 (e.g. when using Viz Multiplexer). Port 6100 is normally used by renderers that are on air, hence, it is (e.g. when running Viz Pilot version 4 or Graphics Plugin towards Viz Artist/Engine 2.x) recommended to use another port.Port 14300 is an optional port. The default 6100 may also be used if the renderer is not used on air. |
|
Graphic Hub |
19392-19396 |
Ports in use when connecting to different Graphic Hub components. |
|
Connection Broker |
21098 |
Connection to the Connection Broker configuration interface (e.g. http://localhost:21098/) |
|
Viz Engine |
|
Ports 50007 - 50009 are all Multiplexing Ports that enable Viz Engine to work on other scenes in sessions that are used for preview purposes: |
|
|
50007 |
MUX Isolated port: All connections to this port get its own session. |
|
|
50008 |
MUX Shared port: All connections from one single host shares one session. |
|
|
50009 |
MUX Fixed port: Same as shared port except that allocated resources are never cleared from memory. |
|
|
50010 |
Still Preview port: Enables a user to request a preview of the next scene to be put on air while another scene is on air. |
|
Preview Server |
54000 |
Used to connect over http with the REST interface. |

The multiplexer functionality is an integral part of Viz Engine. When using Viz Engine a session management takes place internally, with one default session for the GUI and internal/external commands, and additional sessions created on-demand for the multiplexing ports or the preview port.
With multiplex ports, other than the MUX Still Preview port, the Viz Engine state is only switched when a command is received, which means a new session is created; hence, ten consecutive commands from a client will only result in one state switch on the first command.
With the MUX Still Preview port the state is switched when a command is received and immediately switched back to the main session such that on air rendering will not be hindered in any way.
The MUX Fixed port is traditionally used by Viz Pilot Newsroom Client, and is the same as the MUX Shared Port, except that allocated resources are never cleared from memory. To avoid memory overload, it is recommended to clean up the Viz Engine regularly when this port is used.
The MUX Shared Port is a shared port where all connections from one single host shares one session. It is most often used by Viz Trio and the Newsroom Client to show preview frames.
The MUX Isolated Port is an isolated port where all connections get their own session. It is used, for example in an NLE configuration, to deliver frames to the host NLE-system when rendering or scrubbing video clips with graphics. Using this port will also suppress bounding box commands.
Note: The MUX Isolated Port cannot be used by the Newsroom Component.
All multiplexing ports are supported by all Viz Engine versions.
