Cloud Computing is the biggest buzz word in the broadcast industry today and Chyron is leading the way with its AXIS set of browser based graphic tools. Whether you are creating news graphics, maps, business quotes or bar and pie charts, AXIS provides you with easy to use tools that you can access on your computer through a web connection. You can repurpose these graphics for use in your television broadcast, your cell phone, on the web or in print. The graphic asset management of these files is done in the cloud which can drastically save you money on hardware and software throughout your facilities.

New to AXIS this year is Chyron’s Order Management Solution (OMS). OMS was designed into the browser based tools so you can order your graphic from anywhere you have a web connection and track the progress from creation in the art department right through to playout.

We are excited about all these tools that with your input, you helped us design. We would be pleased to show you how they can be totally adapted to suit your workflow.
