"We are pleased to be partnering with MediaCast to bring this exciting new offering to the Middle Eastern broadcast market for the first time," said Paul Glasgow, vice president of EMEA sales at Chyron.

Delivering key and fill signals via the TriCaster network interface, ChyronIP offers broadcasters two full-HD or -SD, live, full-motion channels of Chyron graphics, which are delivered via a network connection without tying up any of the TriCaster video inputs that are so critical to live production.
