Chyron LEX2 Graphics System Destined For Russian Academy Of Sciences

Chyron announced that The Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), a civil, self-governed, non-commercial organisation has ordered an LEX2 graphics system as part of an extensive technology upgrade.
This announcement marks the first LEX2 sale in Russia, carried out by Chyron’s Moscow based partner, Sankom-Pro.
The LEX2 will form the heart of the organisation’s graphics capabilities housed in the main Control Room in Moscow. RAS, which produces scientific and popular science films, will use the LEX2’s outstanding functionality to provide real-time 2D/3D animation for channel branding and programme style.
RAS includes scientific institutes from all across the Russian Federation. The organisation’s Head of Technical Department, Alexander Smirnov commented: “We looked at demonstrations from a number of manufacturers including Chyron, Vizrt, Pixel Power and Pinnacle. The Chyron system provides us with the functionality and power that we require for this facility upgrade. The system is both efficient and cost-effective and will be a major part of our channel branding in the future.”
David Ward, VP and General Manager, Chyron EAME added: “We are delighted to announce this sale to The Russian Academy of Sciences. Following its launch at NAB 2007, the LEX2 has achieved major success as part of the company’s new graphics portfolio and we look forward to announcing further sales in the coming months."
