As media convergence accelerates across China, Guangxi Vocational College is modernizing its infrastructure to reflect real-world broadcasting and digital media workflows, solidifying its reputation as a leading regional and national vocational institution.
The Challenge
Despite its established standing, Guangxi Vocational College encountered a roadblock in its commitment to producing job-ready graduates for the integrated media industry. As the demand for skilled professionals surged, the college’s outdated facilities presented significant challenges.
Legacy Equipment
Existing tools and workflows were insufficient to match advancements in IP-based production, 4K UHD, and network-centric operations.
Limited Production Scenarios
Students lacked exposure to realistic media production environments, compromising their technical proficiency.
Employability Concerns
These gaps risked the employability of graduates in an increasingly competitive industry.
The Solution
To address these pressing challenges, Guangxi Vocational College implemented a cutting-edge 4K + NDI IP-based Integrated Media Convergence Communication Training Center featuring Vizrt-powered workflows – with the TriCaster Mini S at its core.
The TriCaster Mini S played a pivotal role in accelerating the learning process by providing students with access to a professional-grade, all-in-one production system. Its intuitive interface and robust capabilities enabled learners to quickly master live production tasks, including real-time 4K video switching, graphics integration, and broadcast-quality streaming. This allowed both novices and advanced students to build proficiency in state-of-the-art media production without the complexity of traditional setups.
The solution included the following key features:
TriCaster Mini S Integration
- A centralized live production tool packed in compact, user-friendly software.
- Real-time 4K UHD switching, graphics, recording, and streaming for immersive, hands-on training.
- Simplified workflow that mirrors professional broadcast environments, reducing the learning curve, and enhancing operational confidence.
NDI Technology Integration
- Transformed the campus network into a “video highway,” enabling seamless low-latency signal transmission without the need for extensive cabling.
Unified Training Ecosystem:
- A centralized system that combines acquisition, production, editing, control, and distribution, creating a cohesive and professional workflow for students.
With Vizrt’s TriCaster Mini S powering the training center, students gained the opportunity to practice on industry-standard platforms, nurturing their technical, creative, and operational skills and preparing them for dynamic careers in media and broadcasting.
The Outcome
The results were transformative, positioning the college at the forefront of media education.
Students now gain real-time experience with industry-standard workflows, strengthening their technical abilities, and boosting career readiness.
In Their Words:
