NewTek helps to globally distribute the WLF Awards that reward literacy actions
By Jamie G
World Literacy Foundation had to host their 2021 Awards online due to the pandemic. Vizrt Group is a partner of World Literacy Foundation and they had commited to deliver worldwide the Awards. NewTek products have made the worldwide award show possible to host online. The WLF Awards were live streamed to YouTube with the help of the the TriCaster 2 Elite and TalkShow VS4000. Both were connected through NDI on the home network of Liam Hayter, Senior Solutions Architect at NewTek. All done from his home, Hayter brought in six Skype TX channels in for the host and guest presenter judges. He was also able to bring in 50 nominees for the awards into the production as “virtual awards attendees.”
“This kept the awards experience intact by offering the exciting element of surprise that is so often lacking with online ceremonies. As a single operator at home, the TriCaster was automated using a combination of our powerful Macro engine and LivePanel custom web GUI to sequentially run graphics, switching, and M/E layouts to run the show in a simple, repeatable manner for both rehearsals and the live event itself. It was a very exciting setup and a really thrilling outcome for all involved.”
