CHYRON’S CODISTRATOR HIGHLIGHTS
VENEVISION WORLD CUP ACTION




Melville, NY, August 5, 2010: Chyron (NASDAQ: CHYR) today announced the sale of its CodiStrator telestration system to Venevision, one of Venezuela’s largest television networks, to highlight match play in the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ in South Africa. The CodiStrator rounds out Venevision’s existing Chyron broadcast installation, which includes Chyron’s HyperX graphics systems.

CodiStrator provided Venevision presenters with sophisticated, live telestration to spotlight and analyze game play for the World Cup matches, enriching the viewer experience. When game highlights were replayed in slow motion or freeze-framed for analysis, the presenter sketched and dropped graphics directly to the touch screen, pinpointing action, players and strategies.

“We chose the Chyron system based on our previous experience with the company. Live sport is a fast-moving environment that requires solid systems that can deliver outstanding graphics with a simple-to-use interface. We were impressed by the flexibility and capabilities of the CodiStrator,” commented Gustavo Cores, Gerente de Post-Producción, Venevision.

Venevision plans to employ CodiStrator beyond sports broadcasts, to news coverage.

Chyron’s Chief Operating Officer, Kevin Prince, added “We are delighted to announce this sale to the Venevision. The CodiStrator will bring action and color to the global sporting event.”

CodiStrator enables the easy creation of a virtually unlimited variety of drawing tools: free-hand, straight and curved lines, arrows and T-bars, circles, still and animated logos and images, spotlights, weather fronts and more. CodiStrator’s bullet feature enables the creation of custom text and still/animated graphics that can be dropped anywhere on the scene. Logo display can provide sponsorship opportunities. The telestrator extends outside of sports coverage, enhancing news, weather, traffic reports, and medical/corporate presentations, and has the ability to import Chyron’s AXIS maps.
