Chyron releases CAMIO 5.3 to facilitate production and boost graphics workflow efficiency

Chyron, company whith headquarters at New York, has announced the introduction of the latest update of its solution, CAMIO 5.3, for enhanced graphics workflow efficiency and production flexibility; besides, new update offers new features for adapting graphics across multiple news markets as well as integrations with newsroom computer systems and latest non-linear editing suites new timecode OUT for graphics allows journalists and producers working with CAMIO’s NRCS plugin, LUCI, to specify a precise time when the graphic playout ends, overriding any duration set in the template’s animations. The automation system pulling from the newsroom rundown can use this timecode information to manage graphics automatically, keeping the rundown on schedule.

Chyron recently announced the release of CAMIO 5.3, the latest edition of the company’s Media Object Server (MOS)driven newsroom graphics management system. Targeting the evolving requirements of news broadcasters, updates in CAMIO 5.3 empower producers and journalists through tighter integration with the latest nonlinear edit (NLE) and newsroom computer systems (NRCS), more extensive use of MOS newsroom information to drive efficient playout, and a new workflow for dynamic management of graphic projects across multiple teams within distributed workflows.

The most notable update in CAMIO 5.3 is its new User Access Control Panel, which allows administrators to create dynamic user permission groups across distributed teams. As a result, local stations enjoy edit access over localized graphics projects without overwriting master packages that should only be edited by the designated art department. Whether the station or station group uses a centralized hub-and-spoke model or a more distributed stem-andleaf model, the right people have the right permissions to access and edit content.

Another key area of improvement in CAMIO 5.3 is providing more graphics metadata to drive automated productions from the newsroom computer system. A new API connecting PRIME and CAMIO enables use of XMP metadata to auto-fill replaceable text fields for PRIME graphics within CAMIO, saving time and eliminating typos. A

With support for the latest versions of Grass Valley Edius (versions 9 and 10), CAMIO 5.3 provides an easy pathway to bring PRIME graphics from a CAMIO template library into an Edius editing project. The CAMIO NLE Plugin has long been a feature of CAMIO, and ongoing updates to accommodate leading NLE applications help users ensure a consistent look across live and post-produced content, often through efficient, centralized creation of all graphics for live and post.

CAMIO 5.3 now integrates with SNews Arion, an NRCS that is gaining traction in the news industry with its easy-touse interface and tools. This furthers Chyron’s commitment to ensure that CAMIO works in all newsroom environments, regardless of the NRCS vendor.
