Extensive Customer-Driven Updates to Chyron PRIME and New Features Across Full Portfolio for Sports Graphics
MELVILLE, N.Y. —August 29, 2024— Chyron today announced that its 2024 IBC Show booth 7.B49 will feature innovation in sports graphics driven by collaborative relationships with major sports broadcasters to help them drive fan engagement for some of the world’s leading sporting events. Chyron will be sharing updates across its sports portfolio, including the graphics and data-display powerhouse, Chyron PRIME, along with the company’s PAINT (replay and telestration), VSAR (virtual production), VP (virtual ad placement), and Chyron LIVE (cloud-based live production) solutions.
“The innovations that visitors will see in Chyron PRIME are the result of high level collaboration with key customers as well as the realization of a carefully planned long term roadmap. Chyron PRIME now gives both designers and playout operators tool sets that are powerful, yet easy to use; unparalleled native data parsing and integration; and a high degree of flexibility to make it the ideal graphics solution for any sports production,” states Nikole McStanley, Chyron product portfolio director.
Chyron’s PRIME platform allows users to leverage the same industry-leading design features to create and animate stunning CG graphics, video walls, and touchscreen graphics, enabling powerful sports storytelling and fan engagement. IBC attendees will be able to see a playout workflow that further simplifies operation while enabling greater control over the types of data displayed in live-to-air graphics. New dynamic data functionality allows playout operators to control not just the display of real-time data in a graphic, but the data source and also the actions that data will trigger. Additionally, with highly configurable control panels, designers can provide access to specific parameters and give playout operators just the right amount of control and flexibility.
