Business, Entertainment & Technology Editors

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 28, 2000

Throughout this year's 72nd Annual Academy Awards(R) Presentation -- one of TV's showcase events where anything can happen -- Chyron Corporation's (NYSE: CHY) iNFiNiT!(R) character generator and Aprisa(R) 200 dual stream DDR played key supporting roles.

"The iNFiNiT! is still the only system that can achieve a high level of production and still be flexible enough to change on the fly," says Allan Wells of Fontastics, serving as Graphics Coordinator for the show. "It stands out as the only text-based graphics system that can handle the speed and the amount of animation that we do here."

To maximize production capabilities, iNFiNiT! will be used along with Transform II, an impressive package that offers enhanced, full-frame graphic animations, video clips real-time capture and playback. Chyron's built-in commitment to ease-of-use, also makes the iNFiNiT! quick on it's feet under the worldwide spotlight of the Academy Awards(R). The combination of these features will provide Wells with a powerful tool for shaping the look of this year's Oscar(R) presentations.

Also in the loop is the Chyron Aprisa 200 stand-alone digital disk recorder, part of the system for real-time on-the-fly transitions. "The Aprisa is working very well as a flexible, low-cost alternative," Wells notes. "It's been an integral application that provides graphics support to an effects wipe." With its open systems approach to providing broadcast quality, dual channel motion-JPEG video and audio in the Windows(R) NT environment, the Aprisa 200 offers one of the best price/performance ratio of any DDR available.

With statues passing quickly from presenter to award-winner, Allan Wells knows the Chyron iNFiNiT! and Aprisa can keep the pace. "They give us the look that we need, when we need it," he concludes.

The 72nd Annual Academy Awards(R) Presentation, held at the Los Angeles Shrine Auditorium, was presented on ABC Television on Sunday, March 26, 2000.
