CNBC Asia Pacific selects Chyron for on-air graphics

CNBC Asia Pacific has selected Chyron’s CAMIO server, LEX2 graphics systems and iSQ (Intelligent Sequencer) remote monitoring and playout controller for use in its broadcast headquarters in Singapore.

The CAMIO workflow servers are designed to complement CNBC Asia Pacific’s new LEX2 graphics systems for use in producing top-quality SD graphics for a wide range of business and financial news programming.

Chyron’s iSQ playout application enables control of independent output channels across multiple devices from a single GUI. CNBC Asia Pacific has also installed two Chyron Lyric PRO graphics software workstations for offline template creation.

CNBC Asia Pacific’s senior vice-president for operations, Peter Juno, said, “The elegant combination of Chyron products has enabled us to further improve our on-air look and feel across the region, and the in-built flexibility is such that it will enable us to easily grow those capabilities in the future.”

Chyron director of Asia Pacific sales William Payne said, “CNBC Asia Pacific reaches millions of viewers across the Asia Pacific region and we are delighted that they have chosen Chyron technology, which further strengthens our position as the leading graphics interface provider for the global broadcast market.”

In addition, Chyron’s MicroX, a single-channel character generator, and the iSQ application have also been deployed at CNBC Asia Pacific’s Sydney, Australia, bureau, which is directly linked with the CAMIO server at the Singapore HQ.

Chyron products are currently on display at booth number 7D2-01 in hall 7 of BroadcastAsia. Among the new offerings is HyperX3, which includes an advanced feature set of software for easily creating 3D pie charts, bar charts and financial line charts.

Also being shown at BroadcastAsia this year is AXIS with OMS an effective and organised method to customise, centralise and output creative digital content. Offering both self fulfillment of templated graphics and order placement for original content, AXIS with OMS provides real-time reporting at all stages of production.
