Chyron To Launch Lyric PRO 7 At NAB

Chyron has announced the eagerly anticipated launch of Lyric PRO 7, the latest version of Chyron’s revolutionary graphics creation and playout workflow software, now available across the Chyron product line.
Visitors to the Chyron booth (SU6120) at NAB2007 will witness Chyron pushing the creative boundaries with Lyric PRO 7’s dual renderers. These include a continuous graphics renderer and a new advanced text renderer that enables the display of virtually any font set, including Unicode and Complex Scripting. The continuous renderer also allows the creation of multiple timelines, so that animations can be taken on and off air at will, while maintaining multi-scene compositing on output.
Interactive Messages can trigger events within themselves or other messages; persistent objects can remain on-screen throughout multiple message reads; hierarchical animations allow creation of complex animations-within-animations; and real-time particle effects and shaders add a truly unique look.
Michael Wellesley-Wesley, Chyron CEO commented: “We are very excited about this latest version of Lyric PRO, which takes graphics capabilities to a previously unseen level of sophistication and creativity. Chyron is truly committed to delivering the best products to market for our clients and this NAB sees the product line fully integrated, delivering end-to-end solutions for broadcasters.”
Chyron is also announcing the launch of the HyperX2, LEX2 and SOLO2 at NAB2007. The HyperX2 replaces the HyperX as the premier, high-performance HD/SD graphics system. The LEX2 replaces the LEX, LX and HX200 as a scalable graphics system which features an HD upgrade path and premium Lyric feature options. Chyron’s classic HyperX, LEX, LX and HX200 systems will continue to be available. Lyric PRO 7 is available for the HyperX and LEX.
SOLO2 provides broadcasters with a graphics system-in-a-briefcase, a perfect solution for networks, truck companies, rental houses and freelancers who require a fast, available graphics channel on-site at the live video source.
