seamlessly, deliver speech intelligibility and provide flexibility for IT and AV professionals. We are extremely proud to support more effective and inclusive collaboration across global workspaces. “It should go without saying, but I always have to say it, that everyone who should have a voice in the session, should also be able to be heard by everyone, without compromise. The reality is, corporate AV often suffers and the worst element to compromise is audio, and yet it is often the first thing someone will sacrifice, and the results are often detrimental to the experience of the participants. Corporate AV needs to take a leaf from our friends in higher education – where the student experience is paramount and there is often no compromise made for a great AV experience.” FROM BROADCAST TO BOARDROOM Vizrt offers a suite of broadcast-grade tools designed to elevate corporate communications. “Our solutions address key challenges across four pillars,” begins Katie Watts, product marketing manager for Tricaster and corporate solutions. “Firstly, virtual town halls and leadership updates. We help companies turn strategic communications into polished productions that resonate with employees and stakeholders. Secondly, employee training and onboarding. Our tools make onboarding dynamic and inspiring, ensuring new hires feel connected and motivated from day one. For livestreaming and webinars, we enable high-quality, interactive broadcasts that engage audiences and include remote contributors seamlessly. Social media and video marketing are the final pillar. Our solutions help brands stand out with attention-grabbing, high-production-value content that drives genuine engagement across social platforms.” Vizrt’s Tricaster Family is a suite of live production systems tailored to meet the needs of various workflows, from small events to enterprise-level productions. “Tricaster launched at a time when people began to realise you could have innovative products without all the expensive equipment,” reminisced Chris McLendon, senior product manager for Tricaster at Vizrt in an article featured in FEED magazine. In the article, McLendon reflected on the distant days of 2005 when the product was launched: a time when technology was taking off, and minimising stacks of pricey hardware was a top priority. “Tricaster came along then, and being software-based meant we were able to take amazing amounts of production power and put them into small packages,” explains McLendon. Tricaster’s launch was nothing short of revolutionary. Merging live video switching, broadcast graphics, virtual sets, special effects, audio mixing and more into a portable and compact appliance, it became the simplest answer to various issues faced by media firms at the time.

many products developed initially for the broadcast industry, the Tricaster family has firmly established itself within the corporate landscape – with recent updates further enhancing its suitability for the workplace. “Key features and highlights include Live Call Connect with Zoom integration,” says Watts. “The latest Tricaster update was the Zoom integration, enabling seamless remote contributions with improved video quality, per-caller audio and a simpler set-up. It also supports other platforms like Microsoft Teams, Slack, WhatsApp, Discord and more. Further to this, Tricaster systems cater to both NDI and SDI workflows, making them adaptable for different production environments.” Corporate AV enables engaging internal communications. “Tools like virtual sets and augmented reality graphics make town halls and updates more dynamic and impactful,” adds
