March 22, 2010 — Sky Sports today announced that it has chosen Vizrt as the core graphics platform for its 3DTV channel, due to launch in April.
Darren Long, Sky Sports’ Director of Operations described his reasons for the decision, “We have worked with Vizrt for more than ten years.
They have supported us with excellent graphics for our SD sports coverage, then later for HD and now they will do so again for 3D.
