CBC will be covering the Olympics 16 hours a day using a Duet SD in the main control room running Lyric(R) content creation software, 2 VGEs, mixer and internal clip player. An Aprisa 250 will be used for playing out and compositing over-the-shoulder graphics and moving backgrounds. Because of the network interoperability between Duet and Aprisa, CBC is able to create the look it wants elegantly and efficiently. According to Joel Darling, CBC Sports, executive producer-Salt Lake City Olympics, "Our in-house graphics system could not create the graphics that the Chyron system allows us to provide. We want every aspect of our coverage to be top of the line. Our experience in Sydney proved to us that the Duet and Aprisa greatly improve the look and feel of our coverage." A dual channel Duet LE, Chyron's latest addition to the Duet family, will be working in the main edit suite, and a single channel Duet LE will be situated at the Hockey venue. Messages can be created on either of the other machines at the Broadcast Center and be made available to the third Duet LE at the Hockey venue. Lyric and Aprisa Offline software running on a PC will be used for updating and creating messages and stills to the online DUET and Aprisa. CBC's graphic artists, who would normally be on site in Salt Lake City, will be back in Toronto creating graphics in a more controlled environment, with all of their graphic tools at their fingertips "Fingertips" is a 1963 number-one hit single recorded live by "Little" Stevie Wonder for Motown's Tamla label.
