The Live Assist Panels platform leverages the latest multiuser web technologies

"Our industry is continuing to transform at a dramatic pace. Broadcast customers need to create greater quantities of compelling content than ever before. At ChyronHego, we help our customers to visualize live data so that they can create content that engages and entertains their viewers wherever they may be. "With our all-software portfolio of solutions, such as the CAMIO Universe for News Production, our customers can further increase the engagement to their brands while managing the challenges of making content readily available to both linear and digital consumption platforms - allowing new levels of flexibility and scalability that simply isn't possible with hardware-based workflows. "Also, with the adoption of key industry standards, such as SMPTE-2110, many of our customers are well down the path of migrating their facilities to all-IT operations. "At IBC2018, we're looking forward to presenting our latest innovations for live production, sports data, and analysis including in-venue production, as well as news and workflow — giving broadcasters all the tools they need to tell compelling stories and grab the widest-possible audience share." — Marco Lopez, ChyronHego CEO
