Newsroom Integration Installation

This installation type applies to a newsroom work station, where Viz Pilot News is integrated with one or more newsroom or NLE systems. The software is normally integrated to newsroom systems as an embedded component. This type of installation must be used when using Viz Pilot News together with Vizrt’s Graphics Plugin for NLE.

Note: When installing Viz Pilot News for use in a Java or web-based newsroom system, the Oracle Instant Client should not be installed.

Note: Since most newsroom computers running it do not have administrator rights, you may need to install Viz Pilot News using RunAs parameters or install the software from the command line. Note that you must have administrator rights for this to work.

The Viz Pilot newsroom installation includes the following Viz Pilot Components:

  • Viz Pilot News

  • Object Store

  • Documentation

  • Oracle Drivers

  • Local preview plugin

  • Spell check plugin

  • Quick CG

    Note: The Local preview plugin can be removed if you prefer a setup that uses a remote Viz Engine for preview. The Oracle Drivers can also be removed if an instance of the Oracle Instant Client has already been installed.
