Speaking Event at BVE 2012:
Chyron’s Paul Glasgow, vice president of EMEA sales, and Todd Martin, senior vice president, Strategic Solutions Group, will present “Cloud 2.0” during BVE’s newest seminar entitled “Demystifying the Cloud.” This one-day event on Wednesday, Feb. 15, will feature six different sessions examining today’s cloud-based technologies.

Chyron Products at BVE 2012:

BlueNet™ Graphics Creation and Playout System
This year at BVE 2012, Chyron will demonstrate BlueNet™, a comprehensive solution that fully addresses broadcasters’ requirements for streamlined end-to-end graphics workflows. BlueNet leverages Chyron’s acclaimed suite of graphics tools for ordering and graphics asset management, collaborative graphics creation, and real-time playout.

BlueNet minimizes the cycle time from creation to air, ensuring very fast news and sports workflows.

Channel Box² Branding and Promo System
Chyron also will showcase its newly enhanced Channel Box². Channel Box² is a next-generation channel branding system that features 2D/3D design with a complete data acquisition toolset for all branding applications. Built on Chyron’s Lyric technology, Channel Box² allows users to access any data — RSS feeds, traffic, financial, weather, elections, tickers, promos, snipes, and more — and publish it on-air anywhere, anytime.

New Channel Box² software (v. 4.5) introduces a playlist sequencer that allows single traffic log events to play out multiple Channel Box² scenes. By automating these processes and reducing the operator workload, the Channel Box² streamlines the workflow and saves the broadcaster valuable time in creating quality broadcast graphics.

Axis World Graphics
Axis World Graphics is the world’s only cloud-based graphics creation system designed specifically for broadcasters. Axis World Graphics simplifies, streamlines, and facilitates the graphics creation process, enabling artists, reporters, production assistants, and news producers to create broadcast-quality graphics using their own graphics package.

Several new features have recently been introduced to the system, including fully integrated electronic order management, asset management, and integration with Final Cut Pro® video editing, all of which are designed for ease of use and maximum workflow efficiency. Axis World Graphics empowers broadcast production staff to access prebuilt templates that they can leverage for quick creation of graphics for multiple outlets, including websites, mobile devices, and print publications. Graphics creation that once took hours now takes minutes, saving time and money and enabling artists to concentrate on high-end design. The result is a fast return on investment, followed by substantial savings in operations.

HyperX3.1 On-Air Graphics System
The new HyperX3.1 will also be displayed at BVE 2012. This new release of Chyron’s flagship on-air graphics system supports even faster real-time rendering, in turn enabling broadcasters to take even more 3D graphics and animations to air quickly. Like its predecessor, the HyperX3.1 is ideal for demanding environments like live sports, news stations, and outside broadcast productions. This extremely fast, powerful, and easy-to-use platform features seamless creation-to-playout capability and real-time 2D/3D animation, and the system is 3D stereoscopic-ready.

The turnkey HyperX3.1 is scalable to two independent channels and incorporates optional DVEs, clips, and Chyron’s award-winning Lyric PRO 8 advanced creation and playout software.

2010 Latin/South American PR Year in Review

20 01 2011

2010 started off with changes within our Latin/South American sales team. In February, we announced the appointment of Juan Gonzalez as Regional Sales Manager responsible for Latin and South America. Gonzalez has been a product specialist for Chyron for more than five years and is a key figure in identifying elegant, effective fulfillment of broadcast graphics requirements.

Also in February, Chyron announced that Costa Rican television broadcaster Teletica, the country’s first television company, utilized Chyron’s HyperX graphics systems combined with Lyric PRO for their historical their Presidential and local elections.

Chyron’s HyperX on-air graphics system combines award-winning Lyric® PRO motion graphics features with a powerful video graphics processor able to simultaneously manipulate dozens of 3D layers of text, logos textures and movie objects, all in real-time. With our new Power Charts plug-in, dynamically generated 3D line, pie and bar charts from real-time data was used to display the election results giving the broadcaster a leading edge in reporting results to viewers. Utilizing Lyric PRO, touch screen messages were created for the live broadcast for the elections.

In July the world caught World Cup fever, as they rooted for their country to take home the trophy from the game. Chyron assisted Venevision, one of Venezuela’s largest television networks, to highlight match play of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ in South Africa. The CodiStrator rounded out Venevision’s existing Chyron broadcast installation, which includes Chyron’s HyperX graphics systems.

The CodiStrator provided Venevision presenters with sophisticated, live telestration to spotlight and analyze game play for the World Cup matches, enriching the viewer experience. When game highlights were replayed in slow motion or freeze-framed for analysis, the presenter sketched and dropped graphics directly to the touch screen, pinpointing action, players and strategies.

2010 EMEA PR Review

18 01 2011



The year started out with a bang when Chyron supplied 3D stereoscopic graphics for the first-ever live broadcast of the Six Nations Rugby match of England vs. Wales. The broadcast from Twickenham Stadium on February 6th was viewed in more than 40, 3D-equipped cinemas around the UK and excited fans were able to share the best seat in the house.  Following the success of the first game, Chyron worked with Wurmers, SIS Live and Inition on the 27th of February match.

Later in the year, Chyron made history providing graphics for the first live stereoscopic 3D concert by German hip hop group Die Fantastischen Vier, also known as FANTA4. The concert managed by Mitteldeutsches Multimediazentrum Halle was held at Steintor-Varieté in Halle an der Saale on September 28th. Chyron’s revolutionary on-air graphics were the backbone of the stereoscopic experience and were displayed in over 90 cinemas in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium and Luxembourg. FANTA4 fans had the opportunity to see every graphic pop through the screen while being treated to a front row experience.

UK broadcast graphics company “MOOV,” was one of the first to realize the potential of Lyric PRO 8 in EMEA. In October 2010,  “MOOV” used Chyron’s HyperX graphics infrastructure for the Wimbledon tennis championship and prior to that during the summer Commonwealth Games for the BBC.  The biggest benefit of version 8 for “MOOV” during Wimbledon was to easily create “Seeds Boards” with corresponding animations before they actually knew the winners using Intelligent Conditional Transitions.  For the Commonwealth Games, “MOOV” created an original new “Coming Up” sequence for the multi-sport event that opened up with the New Delhi Skyline and numerous kites flying in the sky. Using the powerful, Inherit State feature, the sequence was able to display any country’s flags in any order, at any time with “turn-on-a-dime” flexibility.

 

In September, Chyron announced that they powered the newly launched Sky Sports News in HD, Europe’s first HD sports news channel. This latest push into the world of HD was yet another example of Sky’s dedication to broadcast excellence. This also marks the third time that Sky Sports has employed the use of Lyric PRO 8.  Chyron is a long time partner of Sky Sports News and has been an integral partner in the launch of the HD channel. Chyron’s involvement in this latest venture went beyond providing the graphic systems; Chyron’s dedicated Creative Services team worked closely with the Sports team to integrate the new captivating graphical look of the channel.

 

Wrapping up a successful year of EMEA PR, Chyron announced in December that sit-up shopping, one of the largest and fastest-growing TV retailers in the U.K., upgraded to a HyperX³ on-air graphics system, giving its broadcast presence a new look, thanks to the Chyron Creative Services team. Together, the HyperX³ system and graphics upgrade improve the quality and continuity of on-screen content while making it easier for sit-up shopping staff to enhance programming with motion graphics and 3D text elements. sit-up shopping launched the new look on its bid tv channel as part of a tenth birthday celebration.
