AXIS Graphics Online Content Creation—Chyron will highlight its AXIS Graphics platform, a cloud-based on-demand graphics service. The cloud-computing graphics creator is designed specifically for the broadcaster. AXIS simplifies, streamlines, and facilitates the graphics creation workload across many users in a broadcast operation — from reporters to production assistants to news producers. Integrating with the broadcaster’s existing or Chyron-based workflow, AXIS services include high-resolution maps, 3D charts, financial quotes and a virtually unlimited set of tools for topical news graphics creation. Each service is designed for ease of use and maximum workflow efficiency.

AXIS provides broadcast production staff with pre-built templates that they can leverage for quick creation of graphics for multiple outlets, including websites, mobile devices and print publications. AXIS services are set to launch in Europe and the Middle East during 2011.

Lyric PRO 8 lets users improve the look of on-air graphics with ease and accuracy. Cloud-based content-creation tools are a significant part of Chyron’s products, and they’ve been extended to Lyric PRO 8 with the introduction of Web-enabled control over Lyric messages and playout. With native support for stereoscopic 3D, scriptless transitions, and touch screen-enabled graphics, Lyric PRO 8 is a worldwide leader for sports and news applications.
