Chyron XClyps Server Finds Support From Florical

Chyron’s
“XClyps” multi-format production clip server with real-time
clip playback in single- or dual-channel video and key, has added
another level of third-party control with “AirBoss” by Florical
Systems. The AirBoss system schedules functions that XClyps performs,
such as graphic insertions, to occur at specific times rather than
requiring manual control.

XClyps allows video and audio to be ingested in any format via
QuickTime files, Targa sequences, live video input, or rendering
directly with the Video-for-Windows codec. Video and key channels can
be mixed and matched, with audio later added for maximum effect. The
XClyps system is available in an HD/SD-switchable or SD-only
configuration.

Chyron says the ability to combine the power of XClyps with AirBoss automation
significantly streamlines workflow requirements. In addition to
XClyps’ ability to quickly import and play back video clips under
AirBoss’ control, the seamless interface means that users can also
automatically generate an “as-run” log that shows exactly when graphic
insertions occurred and for how long, a significant bonus for traffic
systems.

Kevin Prince, Chyron’s COO adds, “Florical Systems
is an innovator in broadcast automation systems, as we are in the
provision of on-air graphics systems. This additional interface is yet
another example of the value these partnerships collectively bring to
the nation’s broadcasters.”
