At IBC 2026, Vizrt unveiled the next phase of its visual storytelling platform, centered around two very important developments: Vizrt AI Studio, which enables the creation of professional dynamic content without the need for a green screen, and the next generation TriCaster, designed for broadcast-quality production with significantly less complexity.
The common direction is clear: more productions, more formats and more distribution channels, without requiring a corresponding increase in staff, time or infrastructure.
Vizrt AI Studio: professional virtual production without green screen
Vizrt AI Studio is one of Vizrt's most interesting presentations at IBC 2026, as it combines AI-powered keying, virtual production, graphics, tracking and new environment creation techniques, such as Gaussian splatting.
The basic idea is that any real space can be transformed into a complete storytelling environment, without the need for a traditional green screen or complex physical set design. This opens up new possibilities for studios, broadcasters, corporate environments, sports productions and creative teams who want to produce more dynamic content with a smaller setup.
The value of AI Studio lies precisely in the reduction of technical complexity. Instead of relying on a large physical set, special backgrounds and a complex keying workflow, Vizrt moves much of this process to software and AI-assisted tools. The result is studio-quality images, greater creative freedom and the ability to quickly change environments depending on the subject of the production.
Dynamic content for more formats and platforms
For today's media teams, the same content is rarely intended for a single screen. It may need to be adapted for broadcast, streaming, social media, vertical formats or digital platforms.
With AI Studio, Vizrt enables the creation of environments and visuals in a more flexible way, so that the same production can be more easily adapted to different formats and audiences. This is especially important for organizations that need to increase content production without significantly increasing their production team.
Next Generation TriCaster: production simplified
The second big highlight of IBC 2026 was the new generation of TriCaster. Vizrt is redesigning the series around a very simple logic: broadcast-quality production, without the traditional complexity.
The new series is designed to make it easier for professionals and creators to choose the right system for the size and requirements of their production, while maintaining the features that have made TriCaster one of the most popular all-in-one live production systems.
The new solutions enhance graphics, replay, slow motion, live control and virtual production, giving production teams more tools within a unified environment.
TriCaster Vizion AI/R: AI keying and AR in one system
Of particular interest is TriCaster Vizion AI/R, a subscription add-on that combines real-time AI keying with augmented reality graphics.
This approach allows for the creation of immersive visual elements and virtual environments without the traditionally demanding builds or specialized personnel. For existing TriCaster Vizion setups, this means the infrastructure can gain new creative capabilities without completely replacing the production system.
Vizrt positions AI/R as a more flexible and cost-effective way for broadcasters and content teams to add advanced graphics and virtual production to real-world production environments.
AI and automation without losing human control
At IBC 2026, Vizrt also demonstrated how AI can work on a larger scale, not just for a single task but for entire production workflows. Through solutions such as Viz Mosart, Viz Pilot Edge, unified graphics control and agentic production tools, many repetitive processes can be automated.
The important thing is that the final decision remains with the operator, journalist or production team. AI takes on more of the coordination and repetitive tasks, while humans remain responsible for editorial, storytelling and creative direction.
