Cable TV chose Vizrt for Hong Kong elections
Bergen, Norway, September 27, 2004 - Vizrt Ltd. (Frankfurt Prime
Standard: VIZ), has been chosen by Cable TV, Hong Kong's only
cable operator, for the up-to-date coverage of the Chinese territory's
legislative election. The voting for the 60 council seats, that took place
on September 12, naturally enjoyed highest attention inside and
outside Hong Kong. Cable TV therefore invested a significant amount
in the upgrade of its graphic systems.
For the coverage of the election Cable TV purchased a broadcast
graphics system that consists of two viz|engines, a viz|artist and viz
content pilot server among others.
Hong Kong Cable currently produces over 10,000 hours of
programming a year, which is the largest television program
producer in Hong Kong. Throughout the years, it has successfully
established a leading position in News, Movies and Sports television
programming and will continue to introduce innovative local and
international programs in order to bring more choices to viewers. The
company has been a client of Vizrt since the beginning of the year
2000.
"The reason why we chose Vizrt is because we realized that the
system offers the solution which will provide us the features that we
need with "graphics on-demand", commented Mr. Lam Kwok Luen
from Cable TV. Mr. Bjarne Berg, President and CEO of Vizrt,
commented: "We are pleased with how satisfied Hong Kong Cable
TV is with the use of our products. These relationships are the
fundamentals for our strategy to grow with the customers, once we
