This system is software switchable between HD and SD, and works in real time, a capacity other systems claim, but we found, don't deliver. We are extremely happy with the HyperX."

Breakthrough engineering, coupled with Chyron's award-winning Lyric(R) CG and graphics application make the high-performance Duet HyperX the definitive choice for the most demanding studio and mobile live broadcast and production operations.

"Lyric CG has allowed us to build our question pages for that game show way in advance," Kelly states. "We have approximately 4,000 questions and Lyric CG has allowed us to build all those pages off line while we were doing the show on line. We are able to send graphics back and forth quite easily. We are very happy with the HyperX and happy with Chyron and the level of support that they give us. The next move for us is to go into HD production and broadcast and, with the HyperX, we are ready to roll."
