CHYRON DCC INTERACTS IN ‘BANZAI’ CONTENT

CHYRON Corporation have announced that Channel 4 are using their Digital Content Controller (DCC) to control playout of interactive content for the new series of ‘Banzai’.
The installation of the DCC is being used to synchronise the interactive content on the DSAT platform for the new series of ‘Banzai’ - being aired from November 13 on E4.
The interactive content for DSAT transmissions is being both authored and played out by NDS via their iPlayer system, and the use of the DCC Interactive ensures that the replay of the iTV content is perfectly synchronised to the broadcast programme - without any manual intervention.
The DCC is an extension to Chyron Pro-Bel's Compass broadcast automation system - offering control and synchronisation of many secondary events and devices such as on-screen graphics and iTV triggers, and is a key part of the company's database driven Transmission Time Rendering philosophy.
Kevin Burrows, CTO Broadcast for Channel 4, said: "We have been extremely impressed by this product. We are looking forward to utilising this equipment for additional programmes and on-air enhancements on our other channels as well in the future". (CD)
