Chyron, providers of digital and broadcast graphics with web, mobile, HD, 3D and newsroom integration solutions, has been selected to provider over two dozen graphics systems to BNC during the network's coverage of the 2008 Olympic Games from Beijing in China this month.
Utilizing the power of Chyron's HyperX² in both HD and SD and being the first broadcaster in the US to utilize the potential of Lyric PRO 7, NBC will be broadcasting 3,600 hours of programming during the period of the games.
The HyperX² with Lyric PRO 7 will enable NBC to deliver both hist and in-house looks by working in 2D, 3D, as well as using Apple QuickTime, Adobe XMP Metadata and Windows AVI files.
Michael Wellesley-Wesley, CEO of Chyron, said: "NBC and Chyron are a powerful combination for viewers. We are proud to be part of broadcasting history with NBC Olympics, with the full strength of both companies pushing technology to the max."
