Chyron to introduce Duet MicroX and Duet LX at IBC

At IBC, Chyron are introducing two cost-effective options for broadcast-quality graphics generation and real-time animation.
The Duet LX is Chyron’s scalable CG that provides the power of the Duet LEX in an affordable system, while the Duet MicroX is a compact, single-channel CG that packs the features of Duet LX into 2 RU.
Both systems feature state-of-the-art engineering paired with Chyron’s award-winning Lyric graphics application.
Lyric features brilliant, real-time 2D/3D graphics and animation, simple, on- and offline graphics creation and editing, and via Chyron MOS, interoperability with NCS operations.
With the ability to instantly update text and graphics from a variety of sources, Duet MicroX can function as the main CG in a smaller facility, or as a dedicated channel in a larger institution, making it a perfect, cost-effective solution for studio and mobile live broadcast and production operations. The installation of a full suite of upgrades transforms MicroX into a single-channel Duet LEX.
