Capability During Coverage of the Commonwealth Games

Chyron is powering the graphics for the Commonwealth Games, the international event currently taking place in New Delhi, India.  U.K.-based broadcast graphics company MOOV is utilizing Chyron’s Lyric PRO 8 graphics infrastructure for this year’s Commonwealth Games on the BBC.

Lyric PRO 8 is the ultimate enterprise authoring tool that provides the power to create sophisticated graphic templates with incomparable ease and flexibility across the entire Chyron product spectrum. Lyric PRO 8 features groundbreaking technologies, including native support for Stereoscopic 3D, scriptless Intelligent Conditional Transitions and Touch GraphX.

MOOV has created an original new “Coming Up” sequence for the multi-sport event that opens up with the New Delhi Skyline with numerous kites flying in the sky.  Using the powerful, Inherit State feature, the sequence can display any country’s flags in any order, at any time with “turn-on-a-dime” flexibility. This saves both time and resources by eliminating the need to program all possible transition scenarios.

“I have no doubt that this is an innovative sequence never seen on TV before – it combines cutting-edge technology with amazing creative flair to produce a stunning real-time sequence,” said MOOV Managing Director Duncan Foot. “We will of course be producing a wide range of graphical sequences during the 11-day games and have absolute confidence that Chyron will reliably deliver quality graphics throughout.  We will be on air for 12 hours every day, providing live graphics in HD and also supporting six AVID edit suites.”

“MOOV has been Chyron’s partner for many years,” added Chyron’s Vice President, EMEA Sales Paul Glasgow.  “We are delighted to be part of such an impressive international event.”

MOOV SERVES UP GRAPHICS FOR WIMBLEDON

Chyron today has announced that UK’s broadcast graphics company “MOOV” is using Chyron HyperX graphics infrastructure for this year’s Wimbledon tennis championship on the BBC.

“MOOV” is the first graphics operation in the UK to realize the potential of Chyron’s newest software version, Lyric PRO 8. The biggest benefit of version 8 for “MOOV” was to easily create “Seeds Boards” with corresponding animations before they actually knew the winners. MOOV also wrote a new results control interface to the HyperX’s that uses XML updates from IBM.

MOOV Managing Director Duncan Foot said, “We have used Chyron graphic systems in the past for various sporting events with tremendous success. With the added features of Lyric PRO 8 and the power, flexibility and speed of the HyperX, we knew that it was the best choice for such a high profile event like Wimbledon.

Chyron Vice President of Sales, EAME, Paul Glasgow said, “MOOV is one of Europe’s most innovative graphics services providers.  We are delighted to contribute to MOOVs success at such a prestigious event.”
