Sports Channel has purchased three Chyron HyperX graphics systems with Lyric
PRO advanced creation and playout, three MicroX and two HX200 systems

In partnership with Chyron, C&PS, a Korean software developer, has
developed a new sports GUI, 3D Animation Sports Coder, which allows SBS

Sports Channel is currently using the Chyron systems to provide 3D
Animation Sports Coder messages for the Baseball league, which will soon
extend to golf, soccer and basketball. This is the first time that 3D
Animation Sports Coder has been used in Korea on a Chyron graphics
system.

sophisticated output of 3D animation and particle effect,

new GUI has improved our workflow significantly and provided our
operators with greater creativity,
” he added.
