Graphics
Chyron LIVE can display static or animated text, images, logos, or other graphical elements with templates created in the Chyron PRIME Designer.
There are several ways to get the graphics that you want for your production:
- Chyron LIVE: A set of simple graphics templates is available when you login to Chyron LIVE. You can enter text or make simple adjustments to these graphics during your production directly within LIVE.
- Chyron PRIME Designer: For more advanced graphic authoring, Chyron PRIME Designer is the best resource to craft custom visuals. PRIME Graphics can be uploaded to and played from LIVE. You can enroll in Chyron Academy to learn how to use PRIME Designer. This is a free service and comes with a free software license so that you can create your very own broadcast-grade graphics. https://chyron.com/resources/chyron-academy/
- Chyron services: You can contract with Chyron’s creative services team or another professional designer to create a complete graphics package to your specification.
