Chyron give GFX new competitive edge

Chyron Corporation have announced that GFX Ltd have purchased a further Duet LEX graphics system, with the Lyric compositing tool, for use on boxing and darts coverage for Sky Sports in the UK.
GFX have just completed their first season covering Rugby Union's Zurich Premiership with Chyron's Duet LEX, and it has proved to be an ideal graphics front end for sports data applications.
The latest Duet LEX was purchased and used during the May 2003 inaugural UK Darts Open Championship in Bolton, UK. Since then, it's been utilised for the Desert Classic II in Las Vegas where Lyric's ability to easily convert graphics from PAL 16:9 to NTSC 4:3 was invaluable and enabled the operators to do the job in record time.
For boxing coverage, the Duet LEX is used in conjunction with the GFX Punch Statistics application and Intelligent Interface facility. By using 10Base-T networking, GFX are able to control the Duet LEX through standard 75ohm video cabling - enabling the Duet LEX to be permanently installed into the OB truck. The Punch Statistics application runs on a laptop at the ringside, where operators input statistics via handheld game-pad controllers. Templates in Lyric are then populated with the appropriate data and displayed on the director's cue.
