The VizRT Graphics Tool
The optional VizRT Graphics tool is available with the Aurora Edit and Aurora Edit
LD systems for providing integration of graphics from the journalist desktop to the
Timeline Graphics track.
The VizRT Graphics tool is a high-end software/hardware solution that is capable of
both 2D and 3D animations and stills. In addition, the graphics department has the
ability to create simple templates for use by journalists and editors later in the workflow.

access, add, or modify graphics that can then be linked to scripts as MOS objects.

stories from the Assignment List Manager. They can then copy graphics directly to
the Graphics track on the Timeline from the Story View. Once a graphic is retrieved
