Vizrt is working with host broadcaster ORF to elevate the audience experience at this week’s Eurovision Song Contest.
ORF is using a range of Vizrt solutions, including Viz Engine, which will render all on-screen graphics, including the scores during the jury and public votes.
Viz Engine will also be employed for real-time 3D graphics rendering, while Viz Virtual Studio is being used for virtual environments and augmented reality (AR) graphics.
“With Vizrt, we are relying on a partner that allows us to operate highly complex live workflows stably while simultaneously setting new visual standards,” said Claudio Bortoli, technical supervisor of the Eurovision Song Contest 2026. “Especially under the enormous time pressure and international visibility, it is crucial to employ technologies that combine precision, flexibility, and absolute reliability.”
“Eurovision represents the pinnacle of live production. It’s high-octane, high-energy and high stakes; everything that Vizrt technology is trusted for,” added Chris Black, chief marketing officer at Vizrt. “We’re delighted to be providing technology that enables the boldest creative expression, as well as the dependability needed for broadcasts of this magnitude.”
