ZDF Fernsehgarten: OnAir-Graphics Delivers Dynamic Game Graphics utilizing Vizrt

ZDF-Fernsehgarten is a true institution in German television. Since its first broadcast on June 29, 1986, this live open-air entertainment show, broadcast from Mainz, has become synonymous with German summer Sundays. Known for its colorful mix of music (pop, Schlager), cooking and baking segments, as well as trendy sports and interactive games, Fernsehgarten regularly reaches millions of viewers and is a fixed part of the Sunday program. As the longest continuously broadcast live open-air entertainment show, ZDF-Fernsehgarten is even listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. OnAir-Graphics is an integral part of this production team, significantly contributing to the visual presentation of games and the entertainment program by making complex processes understandable through visualization.

Creative Vizrt Scene Building for Complex Game Logic

As your partner for graphic solutions, OnAir-Graphics’ expertise is crucial to the quality of entertainment on ZDF-Fernsehgarten. We utilize the leading graphics software Vizrt (specifically Viz Artist and Viz Trio) for scene building. Our core task here is the creation of complex game graphics and continuous explanatory graphics. These graphics not only serve aesthetic purposes but are essential for clearly communicating game rules, visualizing game progress, and displaying interim scores or results. Our team works in close collaboration with the editorial and production teams to conceive these complex graphic elements and program them with precise game logic that dynamically reacts to the live action.
