MELVILLE, NY, January 26, 2005 – In response to the growing need to effectively communicate a message during emergency and security alert situations, Chyron Corporation the world’s leading provider of broadcast graphics solutions, has introduced ChyAlert™.

Based on the innovative ChyTV Video Graphics Information Display, ChyAlert is scalable from individual displays, building or campus wide deployment as well as large world-wide security alert networks.

“By utilizing the powerful video graphics, text, scheduling and networking capabilities of the popular ChyTV combined with purpose designed security and alert user interfaces with secure access controls, Chyron has designed a very reliable, easy to install and operate, and extremely cost effective security and emergency alert system” stated Chyron’s VP of the ChyTV Group, John Remmler. “ChyAlert is perfect for an array of alert applications including Weather Advisories, FEMA Emergency Notifications, Amber Alerts, Security Alarms, Fire or Medical Emergencies, Disaster Relief Information and Homeland Security Updates. Its solid and reliable performance is well suited for mission critical environments such as government and military security alerts.”

At only $1,495.00, the ChyAlert system is easy to configure in a display system or integrated into an existing video infrastructure. The graphic and text information coupled with programmable audio alarms or voice instruction clips may be displayed on a single TV screen or broadcast throughout the facility. Easy and intuitive alert page creation, play out control, message distribution and display of graphic, text and audio content to flat panel and television and CCTV monitors is possible with ChyAlert’s dynamic display controller. Users can opt to show either full screen images or video graphics and text combined with an external video feed. Video regions can be resized and positioned from page to page with smooth dynamic transitions, while graphic and text regions can be assigned to surround or overlay the video window. Audio WAV files may be integrated seamlessly for sound alarms and audio alerts.

ChyAlert can easily be configured to add names or ID to CCTV and security access control systems. For CATV systems in Hotels, Hospitals, Corporate Headquarters or Government Facilities, ChyAlert can broadcast alert messages to all channels in the system. There are many custom applications where ChyAlert can be readily adapted to meet the specific requirements.
