Two years after its acquisition of Swiss virtual sports technology company, Vizrt has reorganised LiberoVision into a new division focussed on its complete sports offering.

A complicated 2010 deal which began with the payment of CHF6 million for 60 per cent of the company, included a last installment based on 2012 financial performance.

With that past, Vizrt has announced that the former LiberoVision team will “pursue Vizrt’s vision to change the sports experience on all media platforms as the world leader in sports media enhancement technology”.

The Emmy nominated technology covers sports including, soccer, American and Canadian football, Aussie Rules, basketball, baseball, beach volleyball, handball, hockey, tennis, cricket, rugby and volleyball.

It is used by broadcasters including s ESPN, NFL Network, Univision, ZDF, Canal+ and Globosat.
