Chyron Introduces Axis World Graphics Online Content Creation to European Market

Amsterdam, September 9, 2011

Today at IBC2011, Chyron will unveil its Axis World Graphics platform to the European market. Axis World Graphics is the world’s only cloud-based graphics creation system designed specifically for broadcasters. Axis World Graphics simplifies, streamlines, and facilitates the graphics creation process, enabling reporters, production assistants, and news producers to create broadcast-quality graphics using their own graphics package.

Chyron is also demonstrating how its new RenderBox technology seamlessly integrates BlueNet graphics creation workflows with third-party applications. By extending the graphics creation workflow into the edit suite, RenderBox gives video editors and graphic designers access to the same templates used by newsroom users, allowing them to trigger renders of full broadcast-quality stills and animations right from within the BlueNet newsroom system plug-in. Saved to a shared folder location, these files can be used by applications such as Apple® Final Cut Pro®, Adobe® Premiere® Pro, Adobe After Effects®, and even Adobe Photoshop®. Chyron is demonstrating RenderBox with Axis World Graphics throughout IBC2011 at its stand, 7.D11. “Axis World Graphics empowers broadcast production staff to access and leverage prebuilt templates for quick creation of quality graphics for multiple outlets, and for years, broadcasters across North America have been taking advantage of the significant time and cost benefits this unique cloud-based model provides,” said Todd Martin, vice president of cloud services and partnerships at Chyron. “We anticipate that the introduction of Axis World Graphics to the European market will build on this momentum, as broadcasters worldwide are quickly recognizing how the cloud can support better collaboration and greater efficiency across workflows.”

Chyron continues development for Axis World Graphics, and further services planned for release in 2012 will facilitate creation of high-resolution maps, 3D charts, and financial graphics while ensuring ease of use and maximum workflow efficiency.
