Chyron Provides Graphics Equipment For NBC Olympics

Chyron has
been selected to provide more than two dozen graphics systems to NBC during the
network’s coverage of the 2008 Olympic Games from Beijing.

Utilizing the power of Chyron’s HyperX in both HD and SD and being the first
broadcaster in the US to realize the potential of Lyric PRO 7, NBC will be
broadcasting a massive 3,600 hours of programming during the Games.

The HyperX with Lyric PRO 7 will enable NBC to deliver both host and in-house
looks by working in 2D, 3D, as well as using Apple QuickTime, Adobe XMP
Metadata and Windows AVI files. NBC will have unmatched control and flexibility
in broadcasting the ultimate Olympic viewing experience.

“NBC and Chyron are a powerful combination for viewers. We are proud
to be part of broadcasting history with NBC Olympics, with the full strength of
both companies pushing technology to the max,” explained Michael
Wellesley-Wesley, CEO of Chyron.
