ChyronHego Unveils PRIME 2.0

ChyronHego has introduced PRIME 2.0 – an update of its Channel Box PRIME channel branding system.

PRIME 2.0 is the 64-bit, all-software rendering engine that powers the PRIME Ecosystem, a universal graphics platform designed to meet the evolving demands of broadcasters.

Resolution-agnostic, PRIME 2.0 is a software-based solution that leverages GPU and CPU technologies for rendering graphics and effects. With the ability to output graphics and clips through a single system that formerly required multiple solutions, users gain more functionality and features.

PRIME 2.0 includes PRIME Designer, a design tool that offers versatile drag-and-drop workflows both for scene construction and data binding. It also includes easy-to-use capabilities for building customised transitions, including ChyronHego's Warp Effects technology as well as auto-follow, mask, render to texture, and more. In addition, PRIME provides seamless integration with ChyronHego's NewsTicker.

ChyronHego delivers the PRIME Ecosystem through a series of packages that can operate simultaneously together from a single PRIME 2.0 server or as stand-alone solutions. The Branding Package delivers all the experiences from the Channel Box line of products while meeting the specific needs of broadcast business branding.

PRIME 2.0 introduces Clips PRIME, a flexible broadcast clip player with the ability to support up to six independent channels of video from a single server. Clips PRIME features a range of dynamic and pre-canned transitions including the Warp Effects technology, a special effects capability that integrates with third-party modeling and rendering tools such as Adobe After Effects and 3ds Max from Autodesk. Clips PRIME provides full integration with CAMIO, ChyronHego's MOS-based and NRCS-connected graphics asset management solution, giving broadcasters the ability to extend their newsroom capabilities.

With Clips PRIME, PRIME is introduced as a key element in the CAMIO Universe, a comprehensive software-based ecosystem that enables producers and journalists to create broadcasts and deliver them rapidly to air. The CAMIO Universe is driven by CAMIO 4.2.

Sören Kjellin, Chief Technology Officer, ChyronHego, said: "Today's broadcasters are grappling with an industry in transformation. They're having to evolve their facilities to support mixed resolutions including HD and UHD with SDI and IP operating side by side, and they're also preparing to transition from bespoke video solutions to a standardized and virtualized IT infrastructure. These factors demand the most efficient workflows possible, with unprecedented ease of use and maximum flexibility in installation environments. ChyronHego's PRIME is already delivering unequalled power and a stunning return on investment to facilities worldwide. And now PRIME 2.0 gives our customers supercharged rendering power and unprecedented clips management on a future-proof foundation for the highly engaging broadcast graphics of today and tomorrow."
