wTVision and Avid unify ¡Hola!TV graphics workflow for studio productions
wTVision partnered with Unitecnic and ImaginaUS to modernize ¡Hola!TV's graphics workflow by implementing its new Studio CG graphics system and on-air graphic playout controller. Studio CG was integrated with Avid Newsroom via an ActiveX plugin for graphic preview and editing, streamlining the live production workflow. This modernization aims to enhance efficiency and reduce preparation time for ¡Hola!TV's studio programs.
Key Takeaways
- Integrated wTVision Studio CG with Avid Newsroom systems using an ActiveX plugin for real-time graphics preview and editing by journalists.
- Deployed wTVision’s MOS Gateway to bridge editorial content directly to on-air playout, reducing manual handoffs and preparation time.
- Upgraded the entire graphics line for seven studio shows including Mundo Hola, ¡Hola! Diario, and ¡Hola! Fashion.
- Partnered with Unitecnic and ImaginaUS for technical implementation at ¡Hola!TV's U.S.-based facilities.
Why It Matters
The integration addresses the critical bottleneck between editorial intent and on-air execution by decentralizing graphics control to the newsroom. By enabling journalists to manage templates within the Avid environment, broadcasters reduce the risk of on-screen errors and decrease the technical overhead required for live show preparation. This move aligns with a broader industry shift toward 'story-centric' workflows where production tools are embedded directly into the NRCS. As regional news and lifestyle channels compete with high-volume digital platforms, these efficiencies are essential for scaling original content production. Watch for further adoption of browser-based graphics editing tools as Avid and wTVision expand their partnership integrations globally.
Additional Context
At the 2026 NAB Show, wTVision marked its 25th anniversary by emphasizing end-to-end graphics control that eliminates fragmented toolsets across newsroom teams. Per wTVision, March 2026, the company is increasingly focusing on 'operational clarity' where journalists and studio teams operate within a unified environment. This strategy includes the launch of systems like the R³ Engine macOS Edition and deeper integration with Matrox Video infrastructure for high-performance I/O, as reported by SVG Europe in June 2026. Simultaneously, Avid has been repositioning its newsroom stack around the 'Avid Content Core'—a SaaS-based data platform designed to bridge editorial, creative, and storage silos. According to Avid, April 2026, this platform aims to enable 'modernization without disruption' by allowing existing iNEWS and MediaCentral customers to add advanced capabilities like AI-enhanced search and multi-platform publishing without replacing their core hardware. Per Digital Media World, April 2026, this strategic pivot responds to growing pressures on news organizations to produce more platform-specific versions of stories for both linear and digital audiences simultaneously. For ¡Hola!TV, this technical upgrade supports a broader strategy of maintaining high production volumes. The channel, a joint venture between Atresmedia and ¡Hola! Magazine, produces over 500 hours of original content annually from its Miami-based studios, according to Produ in April 2024. While the network recently ended the long-running show 'La Hora HOLA' in March 2026, it continues to focus on expanding its distribution and variety programming for the Spanish-speaking U.S. and Mexican markets.
