DALLAS COWBOYS TO USE CHYRON HYPERX³ FOR
WORLD’S LARGEST HD VIDEO BOARD
Melville, NY – May 27, 2009: Chyron (NASDAQ:CHYR) today announced that the Dallas Cowboys, who will begin their 2009 season in their new stadium currently nearing completion in Arlington, Texas, has installed Chyron’s HD/SD-switchable HyperX³ graphics systems and Lyric PRO 7 design and render engine to provide HD graphics on what will comprise the world’s largest HD video board.
Sold and installed by Burst in Denver, the four HyperX³ systems are Chyron’s top-of-the-line on-air graphics system that combines with the award-winning Lyric® PRO 7 design and render engine to drive breathtaking graphics of the highest quality. Lyric PRO 7 is quickly becoming the choice for Sporting Events like the NFL. Lyric PRO 7 is the most powerful solution available today with feature sets that are crucial for the fast pace requirements of sports.
Chyron’s Chief Operating Officer Kevin Prince said, “The scale of this new stadium is breathtaking. It is in fact the world's largest column-free room, and the 80,000-100,000 people that it will accommodate will have unobstructed views of not only the event on the field, but to an equally massive HD screen right in front of them. That HyperX³ has been chosen to ensure that the graphic images live up to the overall ‘wow’ factor is as exciting for us as it will no doubt be for the fans who are there.”
When the Cowboys new stadium opens in June it will be the largest, most technologically advanced sports and entertainment venue in the world. In addition to the colossal HD video board, the $1.1 billion stadium features two monumental arches, an expansive retractable roof and the largest retractable end zone doors in the world. In addition to being the new home of the Dallas Cowboys and the annual AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic, the stadium will host the 2011 Super Bowl, the 2010 NBA All-Star Game and the 2014 NCAA men's basketball Final Four as well as high school and college football, concerts and special events.
