The customized ChyAlert system will be used to add timely messages to the facility's existing video infrastructure. Each television or video display can show a video alert, no matter which channel is selected. Source: Chyron · View multimedia news release In response to government, corporate and public space security concerns, Chyron has developed the new ChyAlert-2CH, a Two Channel Video Emergency and Security Alert System. A specifically designed industrialized version of the recently introduced ChyAlert single channel system, it is intended for use with MATV systems in government buildings, hotels, hospitals, transportation centers, universities and any public facility where television signals are widely distributed to all TVs and video displays. "We anticipate that this system will serve as a template for other federal, state, and local government as well as institution, public facility and campus type installations," says John Remmler, Chyron's VP of the ChyTV Group. "There has been extensive customizing of the user interface and software application to ensure secures access and control to the alert messages and their implementation," continued Remmler. An emergency message that includes graphic, textual and audio information and instructions may be added to the television programming being viewed or override the program with full screen alert messages. Based on the popular ChyTV Video Information Display system, ChyAlert-2CH is ideal for providing timely and effective Emergency Instructions, Weather Advisories, Security Alerts, Video Paging and Information. As with the all versions of ChyTV, ChyAlert-2CH has the ability to squeeze back the external video source and position the information around a video window, superimpose the graphics over full screen video or provide full screen video messages. In addition, ChyAlert-2CH can also provide non-alert messages such as schedules, general information, promotional items and entertainment. Alert messages can automatically be accessed via alarm systems or can be updated in real-time. Secure software applications allow preset messages to be displayed or controlled by authorities. ChyAlert-2CH is a solid-state appliance that can be stand-alone or networked. It features a rugged one-rack unit chassis with built-in power supply and automated bypass mode. The Ethernet port allows control of individual units or groups of units via a local network, the Internet or secured private interface.
