ESPN's integration of the Chyron gear into its on-air graphics suite provides continuity with last year's competition, where ESPN also worked with Chyron for the Winter Xgames graphics coverage. On hand to create a wide range of 3D animations and distinctive headshots will be two Chyron Duet video platforms running Lyric animation and graphic software, a Chyron Aprisa 300 Video Replay System and Chyron's iNFiNiT! CG. ``This configuration of Chyron systems will be instrumental in helping ESPN and the X Games get eye-catching graphics live to air or live to tape faster and easier than ever before,'' says Phil Carmichael, Director of Product Management for Chyron. ``Additionally, their ability to work offline with Lyric reduces the amount of gear needed in their edit and graphics suites''. The 2001 Winter X Games will be featured on ESPN, ESPN2 and ABC Sports from February 2-6. Chyron Corporation through its Chyron Graphics and Pro-Bel divisions has established itself as the worldwide leader in the innovation and development of integrated broadcast graphic systems and distribution systems, including products that meet the demands of digital and high-definition television. Chyron Graphics Division provides a broad range of leading- edge hardware and software products, including paint and animation systems, character generators and digital graphics systems, along with stillstore and clipstore packages.
