Duet and Lyric will be part of a control room and on-air presentation suite that will support an incredibly intense schedule of 18 hour/day live coverage from Sydney. Over 16 days of competition, that can be expected to add up to over 300 hours of use. CBC is counting on the Chyron systems to be not only highly reliable, but sharp-looking as well. "You always want your broadcasts to be on the cutting edge, and the Chyron animation and graphics systems will play heavily into that," notes Joel Darling, Executive Producer of Olympic Programming for CBC. "With any Olympics that we go into, the graphic element is a huge part of our identity, look and character. "Our graphics team believes strongly in Chyron's Duet running the Lyric software. From what we've seen so far, the diversity and flexibility of that package gives us the best graphics machine, especially for being on as many hours as we're going to be." A fully open-system platform, Duet employs the Windows NT(R) operating system for an unmatched combination of reliability, performance and compatibility. Its powerful VGE is an object-oriented 2D/3D graphics processing system, fully capable of internal keying/compositing, with real-time background, video, and animated foreground graphics. The Lyric content creation and animation software package stands among the leading solutions for composition and real-time display of graphics for television broadcast and post-production applications. "The Duet's Windows NT-based system is allowing our operators to have a lot more flexibility, and accomplish everything much more quickly," Darling says. "Having one machine that can act as a CG, stillstore, graphics engine, plus moving video and backgrounds makes it more friendly to our needs. That versatility allows us to make last-minute changes much more effectively." "With a huge workload ahead and aspirations towards a terrific presentation, CBC knows it can count on Chyron's Duet/Lyric package to deliver their best look yet at the drama, competition, and culture of the Olympics. Our priority is to give the complete story of what will be happening in Australia," Joel Darling says. "The Chyron systems will help us do that, and keep it entertaining."
