The bundles give students hands‑on experience with industry‑standard technology, building a talent pipeline for media careers while allowing schools to monetize and elevate their sports programming.
Live‑production technology has long been the domain of major broadcasters, but recent advances in software‑defined hardware and cloud‑based workflows are lowering the barrier to entry. Vizrt’s Campus Stadium Production Bundles capitalize on this shift by packaging its flagship TriCaster switcher, replay engines, and graphics templates into a turnkey solution for high schools and colleges. By bundling the same tools used in professional sports telecasts, the company transforms classroom labs into miniature production studios, allowing institutions to deliver broadcast‑quality streams without the capital outlay traditionally required for such equipment.
The educational payoff is immediate. Students operating the bundles acquire real‑world competencies in live switching, multi‑camera replay, and on‑screen graphics—skills directly transferable to careers in sports media, journalism, and event production. Viz University’s on‑demand training reinforces this hands‑on learning, ensuring that novice crews can produce polished content within weeks. Early adopters, such as Cimarron Municipal School, have already demonstrated the value by creating instant highlight reels that celebrate athletic milestones, thereby enhancing fan engagement and giving students a portfolio of professional‑grade work.
For schools, the bundles open new revenue streams and branding opportunities. High‑definition live streams can be monetized through sponsorships, ticketed virtual attendance, or partnership deals with local media outlets. Moreover, the ability to showcase sophisticated coverage elevates a school’s athletic reputation, attracting recruits and community support. Vizrt’s strategy also signals a broader industry trend: as content creation becomes more accessible, vendors are targeting educational and small‑business markets to expand their ecosystem, driving adoption of production‑grade tools beyond traditional broadcasters.
Vizrt, a viewer engagement platform and expert in live production technologies, has launched four Campus Stadium Production Bundles, designed to equip high schools and colleges in the United States with broadcast-quality sports solutions.
Using the same live production tools trusted by sports broadcasters and professional media organizations, the bundles deliver a complete, integrated workflow for live switching, replays and graphics — complete with ready-to-play big screen graphics templates.
With the all-in-one production switcher TriCaster at its core, the technologies assembled are optimized for student-led productions, so the young production team can learn while delivering professional results.
“The scale and energy of school sports in the United States is unique,” says Andrew O’Neil, Vizrt SVP of sports. “To match the enthusiasm of fans, schools must elevate their in-venue coverage, while also growing their brand and creating new revenue opportunities. Students gain hands-on experience with the same systems powering broadcast coverage, preparing them for careers in media, journalism, and live production.”
Each package includes access to Viz University, Vizrt’s on-demand training platform, which supports students and staff in building real-world production skills. The bundles are available in four configurations to suit schools of different sizes and ambitions, simplifying the adoption of transformative technology.
With the Campus Stadium Production Bundles, high school and colleges across the United States can join the growing community of schools creating stunning sports coverage and streaming it live on digital platforms.
Harold White, Cimarron Municipal School director of broadcasting, says: “Replays are a huge thing for us. We’re probably the only high school in New Mexico that’s doing full-blown replays in the gym right now, which has been very cool for our fans and visitors. We had a student here who scored his thousand career point, so we showed a highlight reel, from multiple angles. That was cool to be able to give that student some recognition for a hard-earned accomplishment.”
While designed for sports, Vizrt says its Campus Stadium Production Bundles “reflect a broader shift in the media landscape. As content creation becomes more accessible, Vizrt is making production-grade technology available to more people — enabling schools, small businesses, and creators across industries to produce high-quality content without hefty cost and lost time.”
The four different Campus Sports Production Bundles are available now, exclusively in the United States, through Vizrt’s authorized channel partners. To learn more, visit https://www.vizrt.com/campus-stadium-production-bundles/ or connect with a Vizrt certified partner.
