ChyronHego Expands SHOUT Application

ChyronHego has launched SHOUT™ Metrics, an all-new extension for the company's SHOUT social media application. SHOUT Metrics provides broadcasters with detailed data analysis on Twitter data feeds – for instance, the number of Tweets per second during a specific news segment, an audience poll on a local or national political race, or a live sports event.

"In today's instantaneous, 'always online' world of social media, broadcasters are in a unique position to gain insight into what is resonating with their audiences," said Johan Apel, president and CEO, ChyronHego. "With SHOUT, broadcasters have a powerful yet easy-to-use tool for airing social media conversations quickly and creating instant buzz around a broadcast. And now, with SHOUT Metrics, producers, reporters, and other social media curators can normalize Twitter data to engage fans in real time or simply learn more about viewer demographics."

Ideal for news, sports, and entertainment, SHOUT is ChyronHego's social media editor that works with any of the company's graphics systems – including the Lyric™ graphics creation and playout solution – to build online communities from Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and RSS feeds. In addition, Mass Relevance subscribers can insert data streams directly into SHOUT.

Designed especially for Twitter, SHOUT Metrics normalises Twitter data for visualisation using ChyronHego's Advanced Data Object. Simply by pointing and clicking, users can link the Twitter data to Lyric scenes to create graphs and charts without the need for scripting.

SHOUT Metrics' power can also be tapped outside of Twitter. Users can create customised manual campaigns, using their own polling data, to quickly visualise charts and graphs in real time.

SHOUT Metrics is now available for purchase.
