CHYRON ENHANCES chyTV™ with dynamic graphics and animations

Low-Cost Video Information Display Works with Any TV or Video Monitor to Instruct, Inform, Advise and Alert Viewers of Public Space TV

MELVILLE, NY – Chyron is pleased to announce the addition of dynamic eye catching graphics and animation capabilities for its popular ChyTV Video Graphics Information Display System. Catching the audience’s interest and entertaining the viewer is critical to the success of Public Space Television and Digital Signage implementation. Whether it’s a retail store, sports arena, transit center, entertainment venue, hotel, convention center, sports bar, corporate lobby or hospital waiting room, all these deployments of information displays have a common requirement to provide dynamic content that effectively communicates. ChyTV’s video graphics and information display system is cost effective, yet powerful and flexible enough to display messages anywhere there’s a public space video monitor, and now with its expanded graphics and animation capability makes it an even more effective visual communication tool.

“By combining its expertise in broadcast graphics with the latest advancements in information technology, Chyron has enhanced ChyTV’s effectiveness in conveying the visual message,” said ChyTV Group Director of Sales and Marketing Tedd Jacoby. “Now ChyTV provides exciting animation and graphics in addition to its already dynamic text capabilities,” he adds.

The ChyTV 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 clips may be displayed on a single TV screen or broadcast throughout the facility. Easy and intuitive content creation, scheduling, distribution and display of graphic content to flat panel and television monitors is possible with ChyTV’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 dynamic graphic and text regions can be assigned to surround or overlay the video window. Audio WAV files may be integrated seamlessly for sound clips and audio alerts.

Animated sequences can be imported from various formats such as GIF, AVI, Flash, etc into the proprietary ChyTV Flip Book format. These animated sequences can be positioned anywhere on the screen either superimposed over the video source or surrounding a video window. These new graphics and animations capabilities can be combined with ChyTV’s text effects and active data updates such as news, time, temperature and images that can be inserted into specified graphic and text regions. All graphic pages can then be scheduled from a simple, intuitive scheduling interface, and added to a Playlist for either automatic looping or date/time playout via a standard Compact Flash interface, USB, or Ethernet connection. This self-contained operation requires no external computer connection and ensures utmost reliability and ease of use.
