C-nario, a global provider of digital signage software products and solutions, and Vizrt, a developer of real-time 3D graphics solutions and video assets management for the broadcast industry, today announced a strategic partnership.

This partnership extends C-nario’s digital signage platform with unprecedented 3D, live and video capabilities. Every single display managed by C-nario’s extensive content creation, management, control and monitoring solution can now be turned into a full 3D interactive kiosk. With Vizrt’s technology, each display can be addressed individually to maximize the impact of the message. Live content and specific announcements can be displayed as full 3D graphics.

“Joining forces with C-nario boldly expands the use of our technology into new horizons. Our core technology is already adopted worldwide to cover elections, news and sports events. Whenever interactive graphics, video content and live data meet we are always there,” says François Laborie, Executive VP Marketing at Vizrt. “With the recent evolutions of the digital signage market, it was only a matter of time before a key player decided to offer a higher level experience to its customers. C-nario has a perfect platform to address digital signage networks and we have the ideal solution to display content in a unique and unprecedented manner. C-nario has always charted the new territory and is regarded as an innovator in this market, and we are happy that they chose Vizrt to complete their extensive offering.”

“We were looking for a solution that could give us great 3D graphics and we found it in Vizrt’s revolutionary technology. Vizrt brings a wealth of expertise in real-time 3D graphics and a reputation as a supplier of advanced technology that is both reliable and practical. Vizrt’s technology also enhances the integration of the broadcast world with digital signage and offers content creators the opportunity to create high impact displays,” said Yael Elstein, C-nario’s Vice President Marketing. “We identified the need for Vizrt’s unique technology in digital signage environments, based on input from our customers.
