ChyronIP Graphics Streaming Over IP
This year at BVE 2013, Chyron will demonstrate ChyronIP, a real-time HD/SD 2D and 3D character and graphics generator specifically designed for the NewTek TriCaster™, an all-in-one, integrated live production system that offers the power of a live network studio. ChyronIP is a compact, lightweight system that provides producers with up to two HD or SD full-motion channels of Chyron graphics that stream directly into the TriCaster over a network connection.

Ideal for sports, news, entertainment, and any other live production, ChyronIP allows TriCaster users to employ the same high-impact graphics typically seen in premier sports and entertainment broadcasts. Because graphics data is delivered via a network connection, broadcasters can take advantage of ChyronIP for TriCaster without tying up any of the needed camera inputs that are critical to live production. ChyronIP allows users to leverage Chyron’s award-winning Lyric^® PRO graphics application to create live, full-motion Chyron broadcast graphics, 3D animations, and transitions.

Channel Box² Branding and Promo System
Chyron also will showcase its newly enhanced Channel Box². Channel Box² is a 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, social media, and more — and publish it on-air anywhere, anytime.

New Channel Box² software (v.4.7) includes a powerful, advanced point-and-click data tool that allows users to acquire data from many sources quickly and easily. Also included in this software release is the Channel Box² sports data feed interface, which allows for the easy display of live TV sports data feeds from Daktronics, Whiteway, OES, and Fairplay scoring systems.

ENGAGE Second-Screen and Social TV Gateway
Also on display at BVE 2013 is ENGAGE, Chyron’s second-screen and social TV gateway. ENGAGE gives broadcasters the ability to add viewer interaction — such as votes, polls, and tweet battles — easily into their live news and sports programming, along with rich call-to-action graphics and infographics. It integrates with popular second-screen and social data partners, eliminating the need for custom integration while maintaining routine production workflows. ENGAGE provides producers with easy-to-use tools that allow for the instant creation of interactions that can dynamically boost audience engagement.

SHOUT™ Social Media Editor
SHOUT™, a stand-alone software application that enables broadcasters to bring social media commentary into their live broadcasts quickly and easily, will be demonstrated at BVE 2013. SHOUT gives one or more users the ability to monitor, select, adjust, and route social media conversations to broadcast graphics systems either for on-air playback or for storage as data files for later use. Multiple instances of SHOUT running across a facility can be used simultaneously by different staff members to view content and moderate the same playback list. Users can add, remove, and authenticate multiple social media accounts from sources like Twitter™, Facebook, RSS, and Mass Relevance.

Mexico’s PCTV Deploys Chyron’s BlueNet™ Workflow and SHOUT 2.0 Social Media Editor

Implementation to Bring Dynamic Graphics and Social Media to Live Broadcasts

MELVILLE, N.Y. — Sept. 26, 2012 — Chyron today announced that cable operator PCTV is installing four HyperX³·¹ on-air graphics systems at its teleport and main studio in Mexico City to bring a state-of-the-art BlueNet™ graphics workflow into its live sports and entertainment production environment. The Chyron systems will support daily graphics production and playout, as well as production of high-profile sports events held in Mexico and around the world. PCTV will leverage Chyron’s new SHOUT 2.0 Social Media Editor to bring social media conversations to air quickly and easily.

“We began our transition to digital television three years ago, and the installation of the HyperX³·¹ systems will enable us to take another significant step forward in distinguishing our broadcasts with a modern look,” said Jorge Etienne, engineering director at PCTV. “With our new HyperX³·¹ systems, we will be able to speed up our workflows and realize a better ROI. While the creative solutions and possibilities enabled by Chyron’s Lyric PRO software will add value to our channel and the PCTV brand, SHOUT’s integration of social media elements into the Chyron graphics workflow brings exciting new capabilities to our operations and will enable us to deliver high-quality interactive live broadcasts.”

PCTV’s custom-tailored BlueNet workflow includes the HyperX³·¹, Chyron’s flagship on-air graphics system ideal for live sports channels, news stations, and outside broadcast productions. This extremely fast, powerful, and easy-to-use platform features seamless creation-to-playout capabilities and real-time 2D/3D animation. Chyron’s award-winning Lyric™ PRO graphics creation software is a standard feature of HyperX³·¹ that will enable the graphics department at PCTV to take graphics from concept to air quickly. PCTV also will use the SHOUT application to monitor and route social media conversations to its HyperX³·¹ graphics systems for playout.

“Chyron is a very well-recognized and highly respected company in Mexico, and in our evaluation, the company’s HyperX³·¹ proved by far to be the most reliable and best locally supported brand — the best on the market right now,” said David Palma, director of operations at PCTV. “The HyperX³·¹ meets our requirements by enabling a strong, interoperable, and collaborative workflow that is fully integrated with our news center, and by providing compatibility with third-party software without rendering. As a result, we expect to achieve a better on-air look that helps to strengthen our relationships with sponsors and drive viewer ratings even higher.”

“Chyron’s powerful BlueNet workflow and SHOUT Social Media Editor are enriching live entertainment and sports events throughout Latin America, providing broadcasters and cable operators such as PCTV with a new level of flexibility and creativity in taking high-quality broadcast graphics and social media commentary to air,” said Aldo Campisi, vice president, Latin America, at Chyron. “Along with a new office in Mexico, this key relationship is symbolic of Chyron’s rapidly growing presence within the region, and we are delighted to be PCTV’s chosen graphics playout and second-screen solution provider.”
