Canal Plus Spain deploys Chyron digital telestration tool

Canal Plus Spain has purchased Chyron's state-of-the-art digital telestration tool, CODI Strator.
The installation was carried out by Chyron's Spanish partner Clearcom S.L. Canal Plus Spain is using CODI Strator to enhance the on-air look and feel by providing commentators with the ability to effortlessly illustrate particular points of interest during coverage of the Spanish Football Leagues.
CODI Strator will be used at Canal Plus Spain by English commentators to clearly highlight strategies and key events via a touch-screen. This innovative graphics tool is being deployed on Canal Plus Spain's pay-TV service.
Alfonso Cruz, Clearcom S.L's Managing Director, said: "Football is an extremely popular sport throughout Spain and with CODI Strator Canal Plus Spain is able to bring a new and exciting element to its sports broadcasts.
"Demonstrating CODI Strator's ease of use, within moments of the installation being completed, commentators were able to operate it to its full potential and were highly impressed with its capabilities."
David Ward, Vice President and General Manager, Chyron EAME, said: "We are delighted that Canal Plus Spain selected Chyron for this installation. Since CODI Strator's launch at IBC2003 the telestration pad has achieved major success and been adopted by broadcasters worldwide."
