Slightly off topic:

CNN International's Vizrt graphics appear to be broken at the moment, no ticker, no animated logo and no onscreen graphics (lower thirds / stock prices etc.). Just a still CNN logo.

Apparently a computer virus has hit CNN and ABC News, Breaking News on Digital Spy. Not sure how serious it is.


Surely should be in a new thread???

For the moment, I'll continue in this thread....

CNN website is reporting that a worm has shut down Windows 2000 computers throughout the USA.

Is this the same thing that is affecting CNN graphics does anyone know. Surely a graphics system would not be run from Windows 2000, it would be on a more advanced system? Does anyone know any more about the graphics systems used?

As I said before - CNN uses Vizrt graphics which run on Windows 2000 Platform.
