Vizrt Days 2014 wrap-up

We are proud to have sponsored Vizrt Days earlier this month in Bergen, Norway, where broadcasters from around the world met to share the latest industry news and innovations. Approximately 300 industry leaders attended more than 30 talks, seminars, and workshops focused on broadcast techniques, technologies, and trends. The audience was captivated by keynote speeches delivered by industry luminaries from Al Jazeera, CBC, CNN, Fox Sports, Univision, and Vizrt.
