Cardiff Metropolitan University Produces Industry-Ready Broadcasting Students with NewTek Solutions

By Adam Noyes 0 Comment February 4, 2020

Cardiff Metropolitan University allows its students to create broadcast quality productions, made possible with NewTek Products like the TriCaster TC1.

Let’s take a look at this article covering the school’s workflow, from the NewTek Blog.

“We have partners in America at Ball State University in Indiana. They run one of the top sports broadcasting programmes and have been consistently giving us help and advice regarding the implementation of our sports programme. Ball State has a TriCaster, and a mobile TriCaster. We did some online research as well, and the TriCaster stood out from day one,” explained Joe Towns.

“What we are doing is fairly unique in Britain, and the fairly obvious place to look was the American colleges. I was looking around for courses similar to what we were trying to create, a live sports broadcast production degree, and there are not many in Britain, those are more journalism based. That is how our relationship started with Ball State. Now we do virtual lectures back and forth, their students watch our live streams, and our students watch theirs and they give feedback to each other and collaborate globally,” added Towns.

Both Ball State and Cardiff Metropolitan University use NewTek TriCaster technology to serve as the centre of production for their sports broadcasting courses.

“Using the TriCaster, and other NewTek products has been such a joy for us. We use a TriCaster 8000 Advanced Edition in our studio to broadcast a weekly sports roundup and entertainment show, as well as live sports from around campus. Everything comes naturally using the TriCaster. As someone who comes from a background involving camera operating, and editing, more than live broadcasting, it has been extremely easy for me to pick up and pass that knowledge onto our students,” remarked Lukas Burks.
