Customer-driven Innovations in Sports Graphics
Recent releases of Chyron PRIME have included functionalities that are the result of strong collaboration with customers, notably NBC Sports and other top tier sportscasters as they prepared to drive live production for major sporting events in 2024. 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 only the display of real-time data in a graphic, but the data source and also the actions that the data will trigger. Additionally, with easily customizable control panels, designers can provide access to specific parameters and give playout operators just the right amount of control and flexibility.
Additional advancements in Chyron’s sports production portfolio include enhancements to its illustrated replay solution, PAINT including full UHD/4K capabilities as well as a brand new playlist module eliminating the need for a traditional replay server along with an array of new telestration tools and additional options for skinning the interface for branded on air display. Chyron VSAR will be on display as well, now with support for Unreal Engine 5 as well as new readily-made components and tools to maximize time-to-air. Experts will be on hand to share how VSAR has created an exciting commentary environment for recent major sporting events. Visitors can also see VP, a stalwart in the placement of in-video offsides lines as well as virtual advertising on the pitch, around the arena, or on buildings or any other surface.
Drive an Array of Visual Storytelling Elements From the Newsroom
Visitors to the show will be able to see CAMIO, Chyron’s MOS-enabled graphic asset newsroom integration system in a complete news workflow, driving PRIME CG graphics, as well as PRIME Video Walls, PRIME Clips, VSAR (virtual sets) and even Chyron WEATHER. Further, visitors can see PRIME graphics within the CAMIO – NRCS workflow enhanced with assets from AXIS. This flexible visual asset order creation and management tool, significantly improves the efficiency of news production by enabling journalists and news producers to create images, maps and charts themselves, in minutes rather than hours to fulfill imagery needs directly within the PRIME – CAMIO – NRCS workflow.
