CHYRON DEPloYS VIDEO ALERT SYSTEM FOR HIGH PROFILE GOVERNMENT FACILITY
MELVILLE, NY, October 31,2005 – Chyron Corporation’s
ChyTV Group has been contracted by a high profile federal agency to deploy an
extensive Video Emergency and Security Alert system in support of Home Land
security initiatives. The customized
ChyAlert system will be used to add timely messages to the facility’s existing
video infrastructure. Each television or video display can show a video
alert, no matter which channel is selected.
In response to government, corporate and
public space security concerns, Chyron has developed the new ChyAlert-2CH, a
Two Channel Video Emergency and Security Alert System. A specifically designed
industrialized version of the recently introduced ChyAlert single channel
system, it is intended for use with MATV systems in government buildings,
hotels, hospitals, transportation centers, universities and any public facility
where television signals are widely distributed to all TVs and video
displays.
“We anticipate that this system will serve as a template for other
federal, state, and local government as well as institution, public facility
and campus type installations,” says
An emergency message that includes graphic,
textual and audio information and instructions may be added to the television
programming being viewed or override the program with full screen alert
messages. Based on the popular ChyTV
Video Information Display system, ChyAlert-2CH is ideal for providing timely
and effective Emergency Instructions, Weather Advisories, Security Alerts,
Video Paging and Information.
As with the all versions of ChyTV,
ChyAlert-2CH has the ability to squeeze back the external video source and
position the information around a video window, superimpose the graphics over
full screen video or provide full screen video messages. In addition, ChyAlert-2CH can also provide
non-alert messages such as schedules, general information, promotional items
and entertainment. Alert messages can
automatically be accessed via alarm systems or can be updated in
real-time. Secure software applications
allow preset messages to be displayed or controlled by authorities.
ChyAlert-2CH is a solid-state appliance that
can be stand-alone or networked. It
features a rugged one-rack unit chassis with built-in power supply and
automated bypass mode. The Ethernet port
allows control of individual units or groups of units via a local network, the
Internet or secured private interface.
