Post-Newsweek Adopts Chyron AXIS maps

19 11 2009

Chyron today announced that Post-Newsweek Stations’ have implemented Chyron’s AXIS maps online content creation services to generate state-of-the-art maps for its local stations.

With Post-Newsweek Stations including KPRC (Houston); WDIV (Detroit); WPLG (Miami-Fort Lauderdale); WKMG (Orlando); KSAT (San Antonio); and WJXT (Jacksonville) working in a centralized graphics hub environment, the addition of AXIS maps was a good selection, providing news producers with the ability to create localized graphics utilizing templates at their desktop.

Design Hub Director Felicia Steiger said, “The online aspect of AXIS is very appealing because there is no additional equipment to purchase or install. AXIS maps allows for map customization; banner design; and road and land colors, all of which can be stylized to match clients’ on-air graphic package.

“The core benefit is placing control directly into the hands of the person telling the story.  It’s the producer who controls the parameters of map creation based on the specifics of their story.  From an artist’s perspective, AXIS maps removes the ‘producer mind reading quotient’; that is, a producer gets what a producer wants and determines the elevation and reference points necessary to tell the story, rather than relying on an artist’s interpretation of the information provided.  For example, in a multi-city hub environment, AXIS maps provides the tools for producers familiar with local roads to produce maps that are more finely tuned to their story. We are very pleased with the product.”

Chyron CEO Michael Wellesley-Wesley added, “We are delighted that the Post-Newsweek Stations have adopted AXIS maps for their broadcasts. Because of the online nature of AXIS, users are finding that cycle time from creation to air is drastically reduced and productivity is greatly enhanced. It is clear that AXIS online services will continue to play an increasingly vital role in the future of graphics production for television broadcasters, both on-air and on-line.”

 





AXIS Launches New Site

31 10 2009

Today,October 31st, AXIS has officially launched a new website. We’re always refining and improving AXIS, and this is one of the larger updates we’ve done in a while.

A User Alert Video Podcast has been created to go over the new changes. Please watch it…it’s the best way for you to understand the new changes.

The biggest change you’ll notice is the new navigation bar. Instead of having separate menus for each product (news, maps, charts, quotes etc), there are now four main menus:

Create
Track
Order
Manage
Everything you need to do in AXIS can be found in these four menus.

AXIS is also launching support for Microsoft Bing Satellite Imagery in Maps. For an additional fee, you can have spectacular satellite imagery in your static or animating maps.

The AXIS redesign also allows us to give you access to our exciting new Cloud Partners, who each bring a unique new twist to the AXIS concept. Watch for a sneak peek of this cool functionality in the User Alert video podcast, coming in the next few days.

The AXIS development team is constantly working on ways to add functionality and improve the user experience. These changes are the result of feedback from users like yourself. We appreciate it and welcome your input. Feel free to post suggestions here in the user forum or send them to support@axisgraphics.tv.
