Introduction
Viz Pilot Edge is a newsroom component that is used to create, manage and deliver content to live and taped broadcast productions. Viz Pilot Edge can also be used as a Graphics Plugin user interface in NLE workflows.

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).
