NBC Sports has selected Chyron to provide live broadcast graphics technology for its production of the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympics, July 24-August 11, and, August 28-September 8, respectively.

NBC Sports will utilize Chyron's robust creative toolset and sports data integration and display capabilities, along with rapid recall, modification and customizable playout control, to deliver audience engaging 2D and 3D animated text and graphics with rich, real-time statistics, scores, and data visualization, for its production of the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Chyron has collaborated closely with NBC Sports to deliver a superior solution throughout the games in Paris, helping NBC Sports route the excitement in Paris back to viewers watching coverage of the Games in the United States.

We have a rich history of reliability and product innovation with Chyron as we approach coverage of the Paris Olympics, says Darryl Jefferson, Senior Vice President, Engineering & Technology, NBC Sports & Olympics. The advanced tools that the Chyron Prime platform delivers for both real-time graphics presentation and for creative studio elements allows our design teams to really make our live coverage and analysis stand out. The integrated data feeds also help our presentation quickly tell the story and give context for the viewers at home to understand and process how remarkable athlete performances really are.

Chyron has worked with NBC Sports for over two decades, assisting NBC Sports' production efforts at previous Olympics and other major international sports events in Europe, Asia, and South America.

Customer-centricity is not just a buzzword at Chyron, but a core value. Our longstanding partnership with NBC Sports transcends selling to them, or responding to feature requests from them, states Chyron CEO Mike Truex. The Chyron PRIME graphics platform that we offer today is the result of understanding our end users and deep collaboration to bring together our highest levels of product engineering expertise with the production demands of the NBC Sports team who create some of the most-watched sports content in the world.
