ChyronHego Releases PRIME Graphics 2.6, Latest Version of Industry-Leading Broadcast Graphics Platform
MELVILLE, N.Y. (PRWEB) December 08, 2017 -- ChyronHego today released version 2.6 of PRIME Graphics, the 64-bit, all-software rendering engine that powers the company’s popular, high-performance PRIME graphics platform. PRIME Graphics 2.6 includes an array of enhancements ranging from 16-bit color and full, 10-bit I/O to a new Scene Camera effect, additional codecs for recording inputs, and advanced touch-screen features.
The evolution of ChyronHego’s renowned Channel Box PRIME channel branding system, PRIME Graphics 2.6 is an advanced, 4K-ready, 3D graphics authoring and playout solution designed to meet the ongoing demands of today’s and tomorrow’s broadcasters. The centerpiece of PRIME Graphics 2.6 is the PRIME Designer, a powerful design tool that enables the industry’s fastest and most efficient graphics authoring. In addition, PRIME Graphics 2.6 offers six key toolkits:
- PRIME Branding, for delivering bold, up-to-the-minute branding elements such as headlines, sports scores, weather reports, financial data, snipes, social media commentary, and automated promos
- PRIME Clips, an integrated broadcast clip player offering user-defined clip transitions and the ability to support up to six independent channels of video from a single server
- PRIME News, a unified newsroom graphics solution that offers full integration with ChyronHego’s CAMIO MOS-based and NCRS-connected graphics asset management solution
- PRIME Studio Monitors, for feeding graphics to non-standard-aspect-ratio monitor walls, touchscreens, integrated anchor desk monitor displays, and more
- PRIME Interactive, a graphics-driven touch-screen solution that lets news and sports reporters tell a better story through visually compelling, interactive presentations
- PRIME Workflow, an integrated extension to ChyronHego’s workflow content distribution and syncing solutions
PRIME Designer is a powerful creative tool that offers drag-and-drop intuitive design for quick and easy scene construction. Plus, the solution’s Advanced Data Object provides filtered data binding for scene elements, and seamless integration with ChyronHego’s NewsTicker™ enables access to back-end data streams. With PRIME Graphics 2.6, PRIME Designer now includes support for 16-bit color on every channel and full, 10-bit I/O. A new Scene Camera effect enables users to add multiple cameras to a scene, and the latest version includes additional codecs for recording inputs. Plus, an all-new Inline Text effect enables users to add scene objects to text objects such as crawls.
In addition, PRIME Graphics 2.6 adds advanced touch-screen features to PRIME Interactive, including an all-new tube object and embedded Lua and shader editors. PRIME Studio Monitors now includes subchannels for studio monitor solutions and stadium LED screens.
