Updated Graphic Software: PAINT 10.1 from Chyron Unveiled, Featuring Enhanced Tools and Calibration Assistance
Chyron, a leading provider of graphics creation and playout solutions, has released its latest offering - PAINT 10.1. This software is designed to revolutionise sports broadcasting, empowering broadcasters and analysts to focus more on insightful analysis and engaging visuals.
One of the key features of PAINT 10.1 is the improved text tool, which now supports transparent backgrounds. This means that analysts can add player labels and tactical notes without obstructing important on-screen elements such as field markings, players, or ball movement.
Another significant addition is the Linked Matchup Cursor. This feature simplifies the visualisation of player matchups and strategic zones, enhancing storytelling and analysis clarity.
Chyron has expanded its Sweep Calibration support to include NCAA football and NFL broadcasts. This feature, previously used primarily for soccer, allows operators to quickly calibrate fields by sweeping across the footage. The new version also offers intuitive sweep motion for non-standard court formats, ensuring accurate field alignment even in unconventional environments like 3x3 basketball courts.
To cater to emerging sports formats with non-standard or compact courts, PAINT 10.1 includes Manual Court Calibration. This feature enables professional-grade alignment, ensuring that graphics are accurately placed on the field.
PAINT 10.1 also integrates with Chyron’s Virtual Placement System. This means that it can ingest calibration data from the VP, ensuring consistent visual alignment across multiple platforms and pre-established field layouts.
The new version delivers sharper telestration graphics and smarter workflow tools, enabling broadcasters and analysts to provide clearer, more detailed telestration for a wide range of sports. From major leagues to fast-growing formats like 3x3 basketball, PAINT 10.1 is designed to enrich the storytelling experience with team-branded graphics that align automatically with field calibration.
Analysts can generate team-branded graphics quickly using a logo selector in PAINT 10.1. The software is also designed for improved workflow efficiency, allowing broadcasters and analysts to deliver faster, more precise, and visually engaging telestration during live sports production and replays.
The release of PAINT 10.1 underscores Chyron's commitment to providing innovative, easy-to-use tools for sports coverage. While the current version does not include sweep calibration for all sports, Chyron plans to bring this feature to more sports in future updates.
In conclusion, Chyron's PAINT 10.1 is set to redefine sports broadcasting with its enhanced visualisation tools, advanced annotation capabilities, and expanded calibration support for various sports formats. Broadcasters and analysts can now focus more on delivering insightful analysis and engaging visuals, enhancing the overall viewing experience for sports audiences.
