CYRO News Chyron and REZN8 Partner on Development Project for a Major Television Network
MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Chyron Corporation (OTCBB: CYRO) today announced that Emmy-Award winning
REZN8, one of Hollywood’s leading premier
digital design companies, is partnering with Chyron as part of a major
television network re-branding project.
REZN8, a leader in the design and development of Graphical User
Interfaces (GUI), company branding and real-time viewer experiences,
boasts an impressive client list including Fox Sports, ABC News, CBS
News, CBS Sports and Hallmark, to name but a few. The application
development group at REZN8, in conjunction with its design teams, will
use Chyron HyperX graphics systems with Lyric PRO advanced creation
software, to develop applications that are designed to have compelling
impact on the ease and the efficiency of creation of HD design graphics
used in high-profile sports programs.
This relationship is set to be long-term, with future on-going and
in-depth developments being anticipated as the partnership progresses.
The results will not only be milestones in the way that broadcast
graphics have historically been created –
allowing REZN8 to facilitate and export external, 3-dimensional projects
into the Chyron environment – but they will
also enable the production of stunning graphics in a dynamic, playout
environment in a significantly more cost-effective manner . The
objective is to both drive down production costs and to simplify
ease-of-use and the graphic production process thereby maximizing the
economic benefits and utility for the Chyron user.
James Marsland, REZN8’s Vice President,
Business Affairs and a corporate director commented, “We
are very excited with this relationship we have established with Chyron
and with the launch of this joint, multi-staged development effort.
REZN8 has a 20-year history of designing and creating visually-stunning
graphical images systems for all of the major networks’
sports programs so we intimately understand the needs of the Chyron end
user. This, combined with our deep understanding of underlying
technologies, gives us the insights as to what should be developed so as
to enhance production efficiency and economies and for greater
ease-of-use”
Michael Wellesley-Wesley, Chyron’s Chief
Executive Officer added, “We are delighted to
be working with REZN8 on this exciting project and expect it to be the
first of a number of successful collaborative content creation projects
between Chyron and REZN8. Chyron systems and software are increasingly
being recognized for their innovative design and creation abilities and
we anticipate moving further into the field of branding and content
creation in 2007.”
