Chyron and German software developer Ventuz Technology are entering into a strategic technology partnership. Ventuz is known for 3D realtime software, which is used predominantly for high-end presentations, interactive applications, and on-air graphics. Both companies will expand the range of live graphics solutions they can make available to their customers. “This partnership combines the world’s best technology for graphics presentation with the industry standard for broadcast graphics technology,” said Joachim Sturmes, CEO at Ventuz Technology. “With these solutions, our customers can take interactive data-rich presentations to a level never before seen in the broadcast realm.” Ventuz software provides an authoring environment for high-end video, animation, and 2D/3D graphics playback and control in an interactive setting. The partnership will build on the Chyron broadcast infrastructure, bringing broadcasters an added degree of versatility and creativity in dynamic real-time graphics for live events such as news, elections, sports, and entertainment programming. “Ventuz is an impressively flexible tool for creating visually stunning interactive in-studio applications,” said Michael Wellesley-Wesley, president and CEO at Chyron. “We’re very pleased to be working with the company as its software opens up an exciting new range of possibilities for both new and existing Chyron customers around the globe.” www.chyron.com
