Chyron marks NAB with its entry into web-based graphics production. Following its acquisition of AXIS Graphics earlier this year, Chyron is launching its Online division, an array of web-based services to enable high resolution Maps, Real-Time Weather Displays, 3D Charts & Graphs, Financial Quotes and a vast toolset to create topical News Graphics; significantly expanding its core markets beyond the traditional broadcast arena.

*Chyron Online – This revolutionary new web-based service integrates with Chyron’s popular broadcast products and expands its reach to include non-broadcast clients such as newspapers, radio stations, mobile phone and digital media producers and anyone producing content for the Internet. Providing a one-stop seamless platform to create, composite and distribute graphic content over the Internet for traditional and new media markets, Chyron Online enables the production and management of high-quality graphics integrated with content simply through the use of an Internet connection and a Web browser.

Chyron Online comprises a vast feature set including:

* FastMaps is the most powerful broadcast mapping resource available today. Easily setup to use client’s existing on-air graphics packages, FastMaps is the first online mapping system created specifically for television news producers. No longer do producers need to wait hours for maps. From street-level maps to international maps, now anyone in a newsroom can get a map on the air quickly and easily with FastMaps. FastMaps is the secret weapon of Newspapers, Radio Stations, and all Web publications needing quick, accurate maps for News, Corporate and Government applications.

* FastQuotes takes Local, National and International Business News to an entirely new level. A simple setup is all that is required to incorporate existing graphics packages and looks or design from scratch. FastQuotes gives broadcasters, webcasters and anyone needing near real-time Quotes the ability to build stunning high-quality stock market charts from HD to Web insert, instantly! Connected directly to real-time market data, news producers can easily create local, national and international business segments with ease. FastQuotes gives everyone the same resources as the multinational news networks.

* FastCharts allows reporters, producers and directors the ability to create stunning HD quality Bar Graphs and Pie Charts, quickly using their own data from almost anywhere, with a Web browser. Regardless of requirements, spectacular stills and animations are literally a mouse click away.

* FastWX completes the line of powerful Chyron Online integrated graphics tools. Using Real Time weather information from around the globe, FastWX allows producers to build the highest quality weather maps complete with Doppler Radar (where available), anywhere with an Internet connection. Using the same graphics packages and looks as all the Chyron Online products, FastWX allows producers to build regional weather maps, five-day forecasts and much more. As its name implies, FastWX is for Breaking News and weather, be it for broadcast, radio or Webcasts.
