Chyron BVE 2012 Show Preview

BlueNet minimizes the cycle time from creation to air, ensuring very fast news and sports workflows

Chyron's Paul Glasgow, vice president of EMEA sales, and Todd Martin, senior vice president, Strategic Solutions Group, will present "Cloud 2.0" during BVE's newest seminar entitled "Demystifying the Cloud." This one-day event on Wednesday, Feb. 15, will feature six different sessions examining today's cloud-based technologies. Scheduled for 12 p.m., the Chyron presentation will address today's popular cloud-based technologies in use across the broadcast and post-production communities. Specifically, the session will examine how today's cloud-based graphics creation platforms can be integrated with leading editing and publishing programs — such as Apple® Final Cut Pro®, Adobe® Premiere® Pro, Adobe Photoshop®, and ENPS publishing software — to achieve more efficient broadcast productions.

BlueNet™ Graphics Creation and Playout
This year at BVE 2012, Chyron will demonstrate BlueNet™, a comprehensive solution that fully addresses broadcasters' requirements for streamlined end-to-end graphics workflows. BlueNet leverages Chyron's acclaimed suite of graphics tools for ordering and graphics asset management, collaborative graphics creation, and real-time playout.

Channel Box² Branding and Promo System
Chyron also will showcase its newly enhanced Channel Box². Channel Box² is a next-generation channel branding system that features 2D/3D design with a complete data acquisition toolset for all branding applications. Built on Chyron's Lyric® technology, Channel Box² allows users to access any data — RSS feeds, traffic, financial, weather, elections, tickers, promos, snipes, and more — and publish it on-air anywhere, anytime.

New Channel Box² software (v. 4.5) introduces a playlist sequencer that allows single traffic log events to play out multiple Channel Box² scenes. By automating these processes and reducing the operator workload, Channel Box² streamlines the workflow and saves the broadcaster valuable time in creating quality broadcast graphics.
