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.

3 09 2009

Chyron has embraced the need to dramatically improve productivity, minimize or eliminate expenditures for new equipment and provide a dramatic return on investment that bears scant resemblance to traditional media revenue models.

Achieved by providing access to graphics creation services entirely online via the concept of “distributed centralization,” graphic assets become virtual, which means that users can create compelling content, without special training, from anywhere on the planet with Internet access – and without capital intensive hubs.

The economies of scale offered by computing “in the cloud” enables Chyron’s suite of enterprise-level hosted applications to provide these efficiencies to the professional television and media industries. Offering a large-scale hosted web infrastructure where everything is hosted in a secure and fault-tolerant environment, as well as a comprehensive suite of online production tools, anyone with a web browser can share assets and create content.

Moreover, the entire Chyron-devised hosting system integrates seamlessly with existing television graphics and production equipment, Chyron or otherwise. Content isn’t restricted to television formats, so it can be quickly and automatically repurposed for web, mobile, and even print media, all from the same browser-based application suite.

It’s all about achieving immediate results that are reflected in the bottom line, and who doesn’t want to see that?
