Movistar+, one of Spain’s leading sports platforms, has chosen Vizrt, a specialist in real-time graphics and live production solutions for content creators, to enhance its sports content creation and better engage audiences with captivating visuals. 

Movistar+ has transformed its studio with compelling visual graphics, moving away from traditional television broadcasts to appeal to the younger generation’s viewing habits. 

“We want to have a lot of simultaneous information on the screen, to keep our viewers engaged without losing their attention for a second,” said Julio Morales, #Vamos Content Director, Movistar+. 

Harnessing Vizrt’s control and graphics tools, Movistar+ seamlessly combines multiple layers of storytelling, delivering visually compelling shows that encompass various sports genres, from football to car racing. To enhance production efficiency, Movistar+ utilises Viz Multiplay, a solution for controlling and playing out content on screen and video walls. Viz Multiplay helps Movistar+ to optimise efficiency, producing multiple shows using a single studio. 

“Since we implemented Viz Multiplay, everything has become much simpler. It has an extremely simple and highly illustrative interface, yet it provides you with a complete view of what the set is like […] and on an operational level it makes it very easy for us, to control everything,” said Javier Coulouscou, Graphis Operator, Movistar+.  

“At Vizrt, efficiency is at the core of our control applications, and Movistar+ serves as a great example of how sports platforms can benefit from the power of Viz Multiplay. By enabling a single operator to control all screens and video walls within one studio, Movistar+ has transformed its physical space into a dynamic studio for diverse sports coverage while maintaining its recognisable brand identity,” added Ionut Pogacean, Senior Product Manager, Vizrt. 

Movistar+’s production setup seamlessly integrates Vizrt tools into its sports workflows. This promotes consistent production and paves the way for innovative engagement methods, particularly targeted at the mobile-savvy younger generation.  

Recent research by Vizrt indicates that 77 per cent of sports fans find graphics crucial for enhancing on-the-go engagement. By employing Vizrt’s graphics tools across linear and online platforms, Movistar+ delivers immersive visual storytelling, effectively attracting and captivating these viewers. 

Taking its video wall driven storytelling to new heights, Movistar+ seamlessly merges its physical and virtual worlds, incorporating augmented reality elements into its narratives. No matter what generation of fans, or how they choose to tune in, Movistar+’s workflow delivers captivating and visually immersive experiences. 

“The incorporation of various Vizrt tools, allows us to optimise our graphics resources in a very simple way, without losing the essence of the Movistar brand,” concluded José Luis Peiró, Engineering Project Manager, Movistar+.
