Chyron’s Quintette Wins “STAR” Award from Editors of TV Technology Europe

Thursday 30 September 2010

Quintette, the new system in a line of news room graphics, management and distribution solutions manufactured by Chyron (NASDAQ: CHYR), is the recipient of a 2010 STAR (Superior Technology Award Recipient) Award given by the editorial staff of TV Technology Europe magazine at the 2010 IBC convention.

The STAR Award (Superior Technology Award Recipient) is designed to celebrate and showcase the preeminent technological innovations available to the broadcast industry. TV Technology Europe's editor reviewed a variety of products, examined the technical applications and their overall contribution to the industry, and then chose 25 winners.

“STAR awards are given to interesting new products that help a user save money or accomplish a task in an easier way,” said Mark Hallinger, Editor of TV Technology Europe. “The products selected help advance the industry----some were chosen because of technical novelty or innovation, some because they filled an important gap in the production or transmission chain, and some because they were just cool products.”

Quintette was designed to increase productivity and efficiency, reduce costs and streamline the process of delivering graphic content through a fully digital workflow. Quintette completely integrates into newsroom control systems and the playback of four independent graphics channels can be automated or controlled through a single user interface that is easy to navigate. With the added electronic order management, users can order graphics and watch them seamlessly flow from the request, to the art department and through to the playout devices without any manual intervention. Quintette is a complete 3D graphics turnkey solution for News, Sports or Entertainment control rooms.

“We are extremely honored to receive the 2010 STAR Award for Quintette at IBC. Our goal was to streamline the workflow for News, Sports and Entertainment control room graphics and provide a complete solution for our customers,” said Phil Carmichael, Director of Marketing, Chyron. “With the graphic asset management, the ease of controlling four channels of animated graphics and electronic order management of graphics all built in, Quintette definitely caught the eye of many customers this year at IBC.”
