Chyron Improves And Updates Toolbox

Chyron has improved and updated Toolbox, a software application that empowers producers to quickly leverage PC and web content as SDI or NDI sources in a live production environment.
Available for download at the end of October, the latest version 4 update meets the current needs of live broadcaster IT ecosystems with Windows 11 OS support and the latest Chyron 1RU chassis hardware – along with expanded Grabber content capture functionality, full HD 1080p output support, and user interface improvements.
Toolbox provides everything producers need to quickly repurpose content from their local laptop or PC for delivery to video switchers, all-in-one production systems, or routers. With Toolbox’s Grabber module, users can generate a real-time capture of a region-of-interest and quickly take the content to air. Another tool for generating content, the VLC Video Player module converts the desktop into an on-demand video clip server, with codec-agnostic playback of diverse clip media packages.
Conversely, Toolbox's Return Signal module converts SDI or NDI inputs into webcam signals for online video calls with remote guests or onsite reporters. Producers can deliver a professional call-in experience by providing a direct feed of a studio camera shot, anchor on the set, or live program output to remote callers.
To address the IT needs of today’s broadcasters, Toolbox 4 brings support for Microsoft Windows 11 LTSC operating systems. For optimal speed and performance, Toolbox is now available as a turnkey solution built on the latest generation Chyron 1RU server, delivering superior video production horsepower in a compact form factor. Toolbox 4 also brings support for full HD 1080p output resolution via NDI or SDI.
Alongside these core architecture improvements, comes an expansion of Toolbox’s most popular module – Grabber. Now, with Toolbox 4, users can create up to four unique Grabber captures each of which is individually configurable with specific screen layouts, audio configurations, visual overlays, and graphical backgrounds.
