Create
Stunning Fully-Featured Duet Text, Graphics & Animations
from Your PC
Lyric
is an advanced graphics creation and playback application
that is standard with every Duet system
In
addition to Lyric’s powerful graphics capabilities described
with the Duet products, the true beauty of Lyric is that it
functions apart from Duet hardware, on any Windows NT/2000
computer, letting you create graphics anytime, anywhere.
For
the small price of a software license, graphic artists can
create dazzling 2D/3D graphics off-line for later transfer
to Duet for broadcast-quality playback.
Based
on Chyron's legendary experience in broadcast graphics, Lyric
is without equal as a foundation for media content creators:
intuitive and agile operation, powerful flexibility, hardware
transparent, interoperable with many third-party graphics applications
and technologies such as iTV, and designed from inception to
accommodate future enhancements.
Lyric
removes traditional equipment/operational boundaries and gives
you ultimate creative freedom.

The
DUET LE is now capable of playing up to six seconds of
pre-loaded animations in real-time. Object based animations
that are so easily created using Lyric software can be
read, modified and quickly played to air, a necessity for
Live Television. The new software and hardware additions
required for animation playback are being added with no
added cost.
Add Aprisa SSX Still Store
software as an upgrade to the LE. The combined features
of Lyric CG software with full function Aprisa SSX
Still Store software on one System makes this a very
powerful component for today’s Television Industry.

The
base Duet system includes a 6RU rack-mount unit with
high-speed backplane and auto-switching power supply,
seven high-bandwidth Chyron expansion slots, a 2D/3D
video graphics engine, a sync generator/input-output
card, and an integrated high-performance Intel® computer
board and CPU. For maximum connectivity, 10/100BaseT
networking is standard equipment.
All SD Duets feature dual SDI Channels with an internal mix in a single
graphics engine. The SD Video I/O Board provides video processing services
for an SDI input with key and 2 independent outputs with key in 10 bit
YUV -- just like Duet's video bus. I/O is switchable for 525 and 625
SDI in both 4:3 and 16:9 aspects. Duet's various Sync-Gen timing services
include Genlock and Time Code inputs. The input-output includes an integral
downstream keyer.
