VUE-ANYWHERE

VUE can now be accessed remotely on your LAN or WAN with the VUE-ANYWHERE feature. This will enable your VUE to be accessible via any browser. This means you'll have access to all of your broadcast devices, through VUE. VUE will provide you controls (like XY Routing, A/V Proc, SNMP, etc) and visualization in a single interface.

Platform Features

Users can access and control multiple systems from a single interface. VUE improves productivity and cost efficiency by enabling a single operator to manage an entire broadcasting infrastructure and operation: from content creation to distribution.

VUE makes controls easier by utilizing a touch monitor
Uses intuitive touch-gestures which simplifies operations

Build up your own layouts using our widgets
VUE can switch between different layouts, ensuring you have the right tools for the job.
With MAGNUM Schedule, VUE can automatically switch from one context (QC workflow with proc controls) to another (Producer workflow)

VUE layouts are shared between VUE's
User Permission Groups
Point-and-Click configuration
Centrally manage software revisions across network of VUE clients

Works with third party routers
Includes full control for many Third Party Devices:
- Tektronix PRISM

How it Works

VUE Design Studio allows you to drag and drop widgets to create layouts.

A router control widget is dragged from the widget tray and dropped into VUE. The widget automatically pulls a list of sources and destinations from MAGNUM.

The widget offers various settings. You can modify its appearance or technical settings through this menu.

The widget has been configured to display as many destinations, and their sources, as will fit. Click on any of the green boxes to route a new source into that destination.

Topological View

The Evertz Orchestration Layer consists of a unified software stack that acts as the centralized management hub. They work together to coordinate your broadcast and forward only relevant controls to your VUE stations. The Orchestration Layer controls, manages, and monitors all of the devices in your facility. VUE interacts with the Orchestration Layer to provide the necessary tools for the operator's task.
