Case Study: Sky achieves scalable, creative live sports production with Vizrt automation

Sky produces 6x more sports shows with Vizrt automation

Sky Germany and Sky Italy, renowned for premium sports broadcasting, faced the challenge of scaling their operations to cover more sports and matches without increasing their budget or headcount. They needed to maintain their high production standards and complex, visually striking "infotainment" style while managing the unpredictable nature of live sports. To address this, they partnered with Vizrt to implement an automated workflow centered on the Viz Mosart production automation system.

By using Viz Mosart as a central automation engine to control video switching, graphics, lighting, and audio, Vizrt enabled Sky to produce more high-end shows with smaller crews. The solution integrated live data with Viz Pilot Edge and enhanced analysis with Viz Libero and Viz Arena for augmented reality graphics. This resulted in a fundamental change to Sky's operational model, allowing them to do more with the same resources, reduce costs, boost production quality, and free creative teams to focus on storytelling.
