Vizrt Group Acquires HTML5 Broadcast Graphics Platform Flowics

Vizrt Group, a global provider of software for live video production, has bought Flowics, a provider of cloud-native, browser-based, live and interactive graphics platforms for content producers. Terms were not disclosed.

With the addition of Flowics, Vizrt Group customers of all three of its trading brands — NewTek, NDI, and Vizrt — “can advance their content creation capabilities through nimble HTML5 graphics, and rich live data integrations and more,” the company said.

The Flowics platform, Vizrt said, “gives customers simple control over the creation, integration, and playout of HTML5 graphics that are perfect for fast-paced productions and digital or multi-screen extensions. These graphics can be made powerfully engaging through a wide range of external data sources, including sports statistics, timing and scoring, betting, weather, and finance information, in a code-free approach. Added to this, the platform makes the creation and playout of interactive media experiences intuitive for mobile, the web, social media and live streams.”
