For Immediate Release

Melville, NY - February 4, 2008: Chyron (AMEX: CGS) today announced that KOHD-TV, an all-digital ABC affiliate has installed a Chyron HyperX² graphics system for its new High Definition news studio based in Bend, Oregon, US.

With the exception of weather, all KOHD News' graphics run through the HyperX2 providing the hub of the station's HD Graphics pipeline.  High Definition news graphics are generated natively on the system inside standard graphics programs or automated via KOHD's Air Control interface for playout.  The system is also operated live for all KOHD Newscasts, simultaneously playing out persistent bugs, time/temp stamps, crawls, lower-thirds, OTS graphics, maps and full screens.

Bryan Johnson, KOHD-TV's, Creative Services Director commented, "The challenge we had to overcome was to find a single High Definition on-air workstation capable of doing everything that a traditional still store, crawl generator, clip player, graphics system and character generator could do.  The HyperX²'s ability to stack multiple graphics on the output channels with persistent objects has enables us to take what might have been traditionally 6+ channels of various on-air systems and consolidate them down to two."

He added. "This functionality has allowed KOHD News to execute a very sophisticated graphics package that was only once capable in big markets with a room full of expensive equipment.  The HyperX² also interfaces well with our Avid iNews newsroom system."

Kevin Prince, Chyron's Chief Operating Officer concluded "We are delighted to announce this sale to KOHD-TV.  The HyperX² is the crown jewel in Chyron's graphics workflow and is being used by broadcasters across the world to provide sophisticated HD graphics for fast paced, live broadcasts."
