Talk:Chyron Corporation

Change in spelling
The Corporate history notes that it was first called Chiron, later Chyron. When and why was it changed? --Hugh7 (talk) 08:26, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Axis
Axis is growing in size and importance for Chyron. It should be discussed in the article. Stephen B Streater (talk) 22:50, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Composition
The word is "composing", not "composting"! 169.139.19.207 (talk) 20:54, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Actually the word used in a 'composing room' is 'compositing', or at least that is the word my father, who was a compositor, used. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/compositor 108.29.132.100 (talk) 20:31, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Other Chyron products
I worked in Post Production back in the last century (1990's), just as the HDTV stuff was coming out. We have CCIR-601 digital video stuff. We used a Chyron Infinit, MAXine and a Codi. I think these were popular machines but there is no mention of them in this article. Down in the basement (scrap equipment room) there were also some earlier Chyron machines (before my time). Maybe somebody that has a good handle on older Chyron products and their time lines could add them to this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.189.189.157 (talk) 00:28, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

yes, I wish I could remember more about the chyron system we had at limehouse in the early 90s. we had quite a bit of graphics kit- paintbox, many astons, symbolics, supernova... but we kept a 625 chyron for regular US clients making shows in london. amongst its accessories was the 'scoreboard' panel with toggle & dial switches to quickly update on-screen stats, & a small graphics tablet with a pen on a cable, like a cut-down paintbox. the look was very distinctive- you could always tell a chyron graphic just by looking at it- a very flexible palette, but very recognisable, & difficult to emulate. it fell to me one day to recreate a chyron for a replacement in an repair-edit (someone's name spelt wrong, & the actual chyron we had for some reason unavailable) & even on the cracking A72 we had, this was difficult.

Subject appears to be notable. There is already one good citation. Here are a couple more I found:, ~Kvng (talk) 00:36, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

Early corporate history
I worked for Systems Resources/Chyron from 1972 to 1980. Those were the heroic days with long evenings and Saturdays of working overtime trying to implement Mr.Leonard's vision on a grand scale for the Chyron II and later on the Chyron III. Eugene Leonard was a visionary and a real renaissance man who really had a passion for his work and company, you might say he was a workaholic. On the other hand we must also acknowledge the business acumen of Leon Weissman and the salesmanship of Joseph Scheuer who BTW hired me in 1972. I followed the company's fortunes up until the late 80s as a stockholder and after that meeting occasionally with former colleagues who continued working for Chyron. I believe Chyron definitively deserves a Wikipedia page because it has always pushed the limits of technology to create new products in its field. Also Chyron had a few years of uniquely successful corporate history on Long Island along with such other high-tech companies as Standard Micro Systems and later on Symbol Technologies.

chyron as shorthand for lower third graphics
in the UK, you're more likely to hear 'aston' as a generic for such a graphic.
