ChyronHego Brings Latest Lyric64 To Las Vegas

ChyronHego has announced it will preview Lyric64, the latest version of its flagship Lyric graphics creation and playout platform, re-engineered for the 64-bit environment, at this year's NAB show.

Lyric64 features a new and customisable interface and is also resolution-agnostic, with full support for graphics authoring and playout in nonstandard aspect ratios like video walls and in resolutions to 4K and beyond.

It offers a single solution for graphics creation and playout, including point-and-click access to external data sources using ChyronHego's Advanced Data Object technology. Users can enrich on-air graphics with data from sources including ODBC, JSON feeds, AP wire feeds, and XML from the Internet, by pointing and clicking in the Advanced Data Object window. Lyric64 now provides navigation tools that enable the system to cycle through and automatically update selected data sets on a periodic basis.

The new users interface features docking panes that enable users to define interface elements by dragging and dropping them into position. Users can create tabbed windows and pre-build window configurations that can be instantly recalled for playing out a specific set of graphics.

"Lyric64 is the result of an extensive development effort to evolve our flagship product to keep pace with customers' ever-challenging graphics requirements," said Johan Apel, president and CEO, ChyronHego. "With Lyric64, we've taken everything that's great about Lyric and ported it to the 64-bit environment to give users more power and versatility than ever before. In addition to new user interface features that bring all of Lyric's rich functionality right to the surface and make them instantly accessible, Lyric64 positions ChyronHego and our customers perfectly for the coming world of 4K broadcasting."

At the 2015 NAB Show in booth SL1110, ChyronHego will showcase Lyric64 in a 4K environment and in an advanced video wall application displaying resolutions beyond 4K. The solution will be released for purchase in the third quarter of 2015.
