Vizrt Object Tracker review
A capable broadcast tracker with strong detection and metadata output, but contact-sales pricing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Vizrt Object Tracker is software for detecting and tracking subjects in live or recorded broadcast video. It is aimed at broadcasters and sports producers who need to attach identifiers, data graphics, or other visual elements to moving objects and people. Its input support covers SDI, NDI, SMPTE-2110, video servers, and replay systems, giving it a clear fit for production environments that already handle broadcast video signals.
Its standout capability is the range of tracking methods in one product. Neural-network object detection can identify and track multiple on-screen objects, while point-based tracking starts from a clicked location. Face tracking provides facial landmark points, and 2D pose tracking supports one person. NDI output carries tracking metadata on each frame, which can support downstream graphics workflows. This breadth makes Object Tracker more suitable for broadcast graphics than for a narrowly focused single-purpose tracker.
Integration is centered on the Vizrt ecosystem, with connections to Viz Engine, Viz Arc, and Tracking Hub, alongside NDI support. That focus should appeal to teams building graphics and tracking workflows around those systems. The platform coverage is Windows 10 64-bit and Windows Server 2012 R2, so organizations standardizing on other operating systems should look elsewhere. Pricing follows a contact-sales model rather than a published plan structure, which makes direct commercial evaluation part of the buying process. Choose Vizrt Object Tracker for broadcast object, face, point, and pose tracking with metadata-driven graphics; choose an alternative if transparent pricing, broader platform coverage, or camera, planar, or mask tracking is a priority.
