Vizrt Partners With World Heart Beat

Vizrt is partnering with London-based multi award-winning music charity World Heart Beat, to bring TriCaster® to its new studio in Wandsworth.

The video production technology is being used to create and stream a wide variety of content including live performances, help launch new artists’ recordings and enable remote learning sessions.

High-quality streaming of classes and performances are an integral part of World Heart Beat's vision for Embassy Gardens, and we are honored that our TriCaster solutions are making a major contribution to supporting this vision,” remarks Marise Plater, Channel Sales Manager, Vizrt.

World Heart Beat was established in 2009 to meet the need for affordable music education for disadvantaged young people, as well as opening pathways into music and creative industries.

With an open-door policy to intake, World Heart Beat teaches approximately 425 students per year from South London and beyond; providing over half (55%) with bursary support and with 76% of all learning activities provided for free.

Earlier this year, the charity expanded into a second site in Nine Elms, located in the prestigious Embassy Gardens on the South Bank. As one of the cultural anchors within the Nine Elms’ £15 billion regeneration scheme (dubbed ‘London’s mini-Manhattan’) World Heart Beat Embassy Gardens has raised the bar significantly in terms of its facilities and technology.

Designing and fitting out its new 750m2 space to become one of, if not the UK’s most highly technical 200-capacity auditorium and music venue, complete with multiple teaching spaces and a state-of-the-art recording studio.

Vizrt has joined other AV and media technology’s leading names – including Solid State Logic, Focusrite, and d&b Audiotechnik – in donating equipment to World Heart Beat Embassy Gardens.

Specifically requested by the charity, which wants to optimize its accessibility and audience reach regardless of distance, the donation includes a TriCaster® Mini 4K video creation system and TriCaster® Mini Control Panel. The TriCaster products are being used to deliver remote learning, on-site relay of master classes and recitals, and streaming of live performances to a worldwide audience.
