Chyron to Provide Graphics Equipment for NBC's Coverage of the Beijing Olympic Games

  
    
  
  
    
      Chyron (AMEX: CGS) has been selected to provide over two dozen graphics 
      systems to NBC during the network’s coverage 
      of the 2008 Olympic Games from Beijing, China August 8-24.
    
    
      Utilizing the power of Chyron’s HyperX² 
      in both HD and SD and being the first broadcaster in the US to realize 
      the potential of Lyric PRO 7, NBC will be broadcasting a massive 3,600 
      hours of programming during the period of the games.
    
    
      The HyperX² with Lyric PRO 7 will enable NBC 
      to deliver both host and in-house looks by working in 2D, 3D, as well as 
      using Apple QuickTime, Adobe XMP Metadata and Windows AVI files. NBC 
      will have unmatched control and flexibility in broadcasting the ultimate 
      Olympic viewing experience.
    
    
      “NBC and Chyron are a powerful combination for 
      viewers. We are proud to be part of broadcasting history with NBC 
      Olympics, with the full strength of both companies pushing technology to 
      the max,” explained Michael Wellesley-Wesley, 
      CEO of Chyron.
