CNBC Arabiya expands graphics capabilities with Chyron

Chyron Corporation has announced that CNBC Arabiya, the Middle East business television channel, has installed two Chyron Aprisa SSX multi-channel still store units.
The systems were supplied by Chyron partner, Pro Media International Ltd.
CNBC Arabiya, broadcasting from Dubai Media City, will use the Aprisa SSX multi-channel still store units to improve its graphics capabilities in two separate areas. The first unit will store and retrieve stills for CNBC Arabiya's news studios. Graphics will include maps and shoulder boxes. The second unit will store backgrounds for studio virtual sets.
Aaron Shaw, Director of Operations and Engineering at CNBC Arabiya, said: "As the region's business television station, we are continually improving our service by incorporating new and relevant technologies. Chyron, who have an excellent reputation, were able to meet our quality requirements at a competitive price."
David Ward, Vice President and General Manager, Chyron EAME, added: "We are extremely pleased to be working with CNBC Arabiya on this project. The Middle East has seen a surge in major broadcast projects and Chyron is happy to lead the way, opening up greater opportunities to more and more Middle Eastern broadcasters."
