Chyron begin shipment of Aprisa Director

Chyron Corporation have announced that they have started shipping Aprisa Director – a new software program that provides simultaneous control and monitoring of multiple Aprisa 200, 250, and 300 DDRs from a single Windows NT/2000 interface anywhere on a local, wide area, or remote network.
Users can remotely load, play, stop and re-cue clip events from Director for a virtually unlimited number of channels. Aprisa Director allows users to browse multiple Aprisa databases seamlessly as users drag and drop or use quick keystrokes to cue and play clips with key and audio to air in about one second. Aprisa Director's Program Monitor allows users to view the actual streaming output of all connected Aprisa channels on their desktop. VU Meters allow users to monitor audio levels on as many or as few audio outputs as desired.
Commenting on the expanded capabilities of the new Aprisa software, Jim Paul, Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Graphics Division, said: “The new functionality offered DDR users through Aprisa Director software is another step in centralizing monitoring, control and playout of graphic elements, and is part of Chyron’s centralized graphics solution for greatly improving workflow in the broadcast environment.”
Chyron Corporation is a leading innovator in the development of industry-standard broadcast solutions ranging from on-air graphics to automation and signal processing and distribution. From the time Chyron introduced its first character generator in 1970 and Pro-Bel introduced its first routing switcher in 1975, Chyron Graphics and Pro-Bel products have gone on to become integral to broadcast operations in 115 countries.
