Viz Engine Administrator Guide
Version 5.1 | Published November 09, 2023 ©
Introduction
This Administrator Guide gives details on the configuration and installation of Viz Engine. It also explains settings available through its configuration user interface.
The term Viz is used for the programs installed and run on the computer. This is used as a general reference for all modes of the program:
-
Viz Artist (see the Viz Artist User Guide)
-
Viz Engine
-
Viz Configuration
What mode of program that can run is determined from the hardware dongle that is attached to the actual machine (the different modes and the hardware dongle are detailed in this User Guide).

Antivirus
Vizrt does not recommend or test antivirus systems in combination with Vizrt products, as the use of such systems can potentially lead to performance losses. The decision for the use of antivirus software and thus the risk of impairments of the system is solely at the customer's own risk.
There are general best-practice solutions, these include setting the antivirus software to not scan the systems during operating hours and that the Vizrt components, as well as drives on which clips and data are stored, are excluded from their scans (as previously stated, these measures cannot be guaranteed).
