Chyron Launches AXIS World Graphics Online Content Creation to EMEA Markets
At IBC2011, Chyron will officially unveil its much heralded AXIS World Graphics platform to the European, Middle East, and African markets. 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 everyone from reporters, production assistants, and news producers to create stunning graphics. Integrating with the broadcaster's existing workflow or Chyron’s BlueNet™ workflow, AXIS World Graphics combines award-winning technology and functionality, proven integration, and point-and-click customization.

Accompanying the EMEA launch of AXIS World Graphics are several new features and enhancements to the system, including fully integrated electronic order management. Additionally, Chyron will show AXIS World Graphics integration with Final Cut Pro® and Adobe® Premiere® Pro video editing. Chyron’s Lyric PRO 8 software is also now supported as a template creation tool within AXIS World Graphics. The AXIS World Graphics services that will launch at IBC include tools for news graphics creation, electronic order management, and asset management. These initial services will be followed in 2012 by services to create high-resolution maps, 3D charts, and financial graphics. Each service is designed for ease of use and maximum workflow efficiency.

AXIS World Graphics empowers broadcast production staff to access prebuilt templates that they can leverage for quick creation of graphics for multiple outlets, including websites, mobile devices, and print publications. Graphics creation that once took hours now takes minutes, saving time and money and enabling artists to concentrate on high-end design. The result is a fast return on investment, followed by substantial savings in operations.

BlueNet™ Graphics Creation and Playout Solution
Chyron will also demonstrate BlueNet™, a comprehensive solution that fully addresses broadcasters’ requirements for streamlined end-to-end graphics workflows. BlueNet leverages Chyron’s acclaimed suite of graphics tools and streamlines ordering and graphics asset management, collaborative graphics creation, and real-time playout. Integration with AXIS World Graphics, Chyron’s cutting-edge cloud-based services offering, extends the power of BlueNet workflows in speeding even the most sophisticated graphics to air.

BlueNet minimizes the time from creation to air, ensuring very fast news and sports workflows. Order management tools allow producer-driven content to move smoothly into a rundown, and management tools with easily accessible templates enable instant and efficient collaboration in preparing graphics.
