Fonn Group has acquired full ownership of the cloud-native graphics platform everviz, rebranding the technology as Teikna for broadcast and streaming workflows. The company plans to integrate Teikna's data visualization tools into its existing Mimir and Saga platforms and has appointed Christian Gogstad Eide as CTO to lead the new division.
The full ownership of everviz allows Fonn Group to bridge the gap between traditional broadcast graphics and web-native streaming formats. By rebranding the technology as Teikna and integrating it with Mimir and Saga, the company is positioning itself to offer a unified production stack that reduces the need for siloed graphics tools. This move reflects a broader industry trend where broadcasters like NRK are moving away from proprietary hardware toward flexible, HTML-based solutions that work across multiple screens. Watch for the IBC 2026 technology preview to see how deeply Teikna integrates with existing cloud-based newsroom workflows.
Fonn Group's acquisition of everviz places it in direct competition with established broadcast graphics vendors that are also pivoting toward cloud-native, HTML-based rendering. At IBC 2026, Vizrt showcased its Viz Engine 6 platform with integrated cloud rendering and AI-assisted graphics workflows, reinforcing its position as the dominant supplier for tier-one broadcasters. Meanwhile, Brainstorm announced expanded support for Unreal Engine 5.4 in its InfinitySet virtual production system at IBC 2026, targeting mid-market broadcasters seeking real-time 3D graphics without dedicated hardware. Fonn Group's Teikna differentiates by focusing specifically on data-driven visualization for newsroom and streaming contexts rather than full 3D virtual sets, a narrower but growing segment. The business case for cloud-native graphics is being validated by broadcaster procurement decisions across Europe. NRK completed its migration to a fully IP-based production infrastructure in early 2026, replacing legacy SDI routing with SMPTE ST 2110 workflows, creating demand for graphics tools that operate natively in software rather than on dedicated hardware. The European Broadcasting Union published a technical report in March 2026 recommending HTML5-based graphics rendering as a path to reduce vendor lock-in and enable multi-platform output, a recommendation that aligns directly with Teikna's architecture. Fonn Group's existing Saga platform already serves several Nordic public broadcasters, giving it a distribution channel for Teikna integration that newer entrants lack. On the technical side, everviz's rendering engine was benchmarked in a 2025 study by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology comparing HTML5 canvas and WebGL performance for real-time broadcast data visualization, which found that WebGL-based pipelines sustained 60fps output at 4K resolution with latency under 16 milliseconds on commodity GPU hardware. That performance profile positions Teikna favorably against traditional character generator systems that require dedicated rendering appliances. Fonn Group confirmed that Teikna will support both SMPTE ST 2110 and NDI output protocols at launch, ensuring compatibility with the IP production environments that NRK and other Nordic broadcasters have already deployed. The integration with Mimir, Fonn Group's media asset management platform, is expected to enable automated graphics generation triggered by metadata events in newsroom workflows. Lawo HOME ecosystem expansion provides a similar HTML5-based approach for IP-native production environments. Zero Density OGraf Studio also recently launched open-source HTML5 graphics to support these evolving industry standards.
Fonn Group has acquired everviz to integrate cloud-native data visualization into its production ecosystem, rebranding the technology as Teikna. This move allows Fonn Group to offer a unified production stack by integrating Teikna with its Saga and Mimir platforms, helping broadcasters transition from proprietary hardware to flexible, HTML-based graphics workflows.
Teikna is a new cloud-native graphics platform rebranded from the acquired company everviz. It is designed to provide centralized data visualization for newsroom operations and digital media workflows.
Fonn Group is scheduled to debut a technology preview of the Teikna platform at IBC 2026 in Hall 7.
Teikna will be integrated into Fonn Group's Saga newsroom system and Mimir media collaboration platform to enable automated graphics generation triggered by metadata events.
Teikna supports both SMPTE ST 2110 and NDI output protocols to ensure compatibility with modern IP-based production environments.
