Channel Box Boost For WPSD-TV

Chyron has announced that WPSD-TV, Paducah, Kentucky, has added Chyron's 'Channel Box' branding and automated promo system to its local broadcast operations.
Mark Hall, Operations Director, WPSD-TV said: "We have been a Chyron station since the 1970s.
"Channel Box was originally strictly a branding machine but it has evolved into much more than that.
"What really turned my head is the fact that Channel Box is now fully integrated with the Lyric PRO rendering software.
"We have been running on Chyron's HyperX graphics platform for years, which includes Lyric PRO, and the advantages of Channel Box’s integration with Lyric PRO are huge.
"Another primary reason for selecting Channel Box is its HD capabilities. We are the only regional broadcaster to offer syndicated programming in HD.
"Our rapidly growing number of HD viewers were becoming quite vocal when we switched back and forth between SD and HD, so we now remain in HD all the time, which Channel Box has enabled us to do," he said.
Channel Box incorporates the 3D animation capabilities that are common to Lyric PRO. The playout control of tickers, crawls, snypes, self adjusting promos and end credits can easily be done manually or with automation.
In addition to the Channel Box, HyperX and Lyric PRO, WPSD-TV also uses CAMIO, Chyron's graphic asset management server and iSQ which controls multiple channels of HyperX from a single position.
Chyron's Kevin Prince said: "We have been working with WPSD-TV for more than 30 years as they have progressed through modernizing workflows and improving graphics capabilities and it’s an association in which we are very proud. The freedom and control offered by Channel Box is yet another example of placing the power of our technology at the fingertips of the user."
