Story Highlights

While the 2021 NAB Show has been moved to October, the spring season will still feature a cavalcade of new product releases and groundbreaking news coming out of the broadcast technology sector. In an effort to keep the video-production community informed, SVG is hosting a series of SportsTech On Demand video interviews throughout April, May, and June with executives from the industry's top technology vendors.

Since taking over as Chyron's CEO in Sept. 2016, Ariel Garcia has led the company through the challenges of the pandemic while also pulling off several major strategic moves. This includes bringing back the iconic Chyron brand (in place of ChyronHego) and recapitalizing the business with the backing of Apollo Management.

Chyron also grew its product and engineering team by 70%, re-architected its products under modern software paradigms, Launched major new versions of our core platforms (PRIME Live, VSAR, CAMIO, Axis, Coach Paint, and Chyron Sports), and expanded its commercial and delivery teams to provide more global coverage.

Recent sports-related productions Chyron has supported include Superbowl LV, the upcoming Tokyo Olympics, PGA Golf, MLB's Statcast and Pitchcast, Euro 2021, English Premier League, several sports venues (Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints, Sacramento Kings, Brooklyn Nets, New Jersey Devils, and many more), and TUDN's LigaMX coverage.

For Univision/TUDN, Chyron delivered an AI-enhanced production with 100% live data-driven augmented reality. This solution applies Chyron's computer vision, machine learning, and augmented reality technologies to deliver a 100% real-time data-driven, automated solution to fans. The result is an experience where you watch an augmented reality-enhanced game where you can visualize player speed, spaces, statistics, heatmaps, ball movements, and much more in a truly immersed experience.

Lastly, Chyron is re-imagining all its platforms to bring AI-enhanced, data-driven, and personalization technologies to enable modern experiences while partnering with its customers during a big technology transition. These efforts can be seen across Chyron's latest product updates, including PRIME Live Platform v4.0+, Coach Paint/Paint v9.0, PRIME VSAR v1.7, and CAMIO v5.0.
