), in the on-air graphics suite.

Both their new Chyron Duet(R) video platform and Chyron Lyric(R) creation and playback graphics package have been integral to a fresh look for the weekly, high-profile sporting event.

"The Chyron systems have upgraded the look of the show dramatically, from top to bottom," says Drew Esocoff, Director of "Monday Night Football". "The Duet video graphics engine, coupled with Lyric software, has established a more contemporary, elegant feel that stands out from the traditional sports show."

 crew has come to appreciate the Duet's powerful capabilities, which have enabled innovations like interviews that appear on-screen with the action in simple-to-execute "video regions". "We can feed the video into the Duet, size it, then marry it to a text graphic and feed it back as a key signal to create a nice, tidy package," Esocoff says. "The text and video become one graphic to us, which simplifies things and frees us up considerably."

A fully open-system platform, Duet merges Chyron components with Windows NT(R) for high reliability, performance and compatibility. Additionally, the Chyron video graphics engine (VGE VGE Valery Giscard d'Estaing (French President 1974-81)

In combination with Duet, Lyric has established a new standard in affordable 2D graphics and real-time 3D animation for broadcast-quality applications.

With Chyron systems now on the team, "Monday Night Football" looks better than ever, increasing on-air graphics efficiency so its director can keep his eyes on the game. "Duet and Lyric are very user-friendly systems, capable of high-concept graphics and animation that can be done relatively quickly,"

Drew Esocoff concludes. "The looks for 'Monday Night Football' are constantly improving, and Chyron's been a big part of making that happen."
