Melville, NY - September 20,
2006- Following the IBC award-winning launch
of WAPSTR (enabling easy and speedy ingest of
stills and video footage from cell phones into
the TV newsroom workflow), Chyron Corporation
(OTC BB: CYRO) has today announced the second
ground-breaking product in the Mobile Suite for
CAMIO - MOS2WAP. The MOS2WAP option for CAMIO
enables broadcasters to easily produce and deliver
high-quality mobile news content to cell phone
WAP pages directly from their MOS newsroom system
(such as Avid iNews®, AP ENPS® and Dalet®
Open Media).
"The response to WAPSTR at
IBC was really positive, with a number of our
TV newsroom customers competing to be the first
ones to implement this pioneering technology in
their respective markets," explained Michael
Wellesley-Wesley, Chyron CEO. "MOS2WAP is
the obvious second product to be offered as part
of the Mobile Suite for CAMIO as it streamlines
the process of publishing breaking news to the
web and to cell phones. WAPSTR and MOS2WAP running
on CAMIO in a TV news environment have the potential
to redefine the relationship between TV broadcasters
and their viewers in that they open the door to
the era of 'citizen journalism' in a manner that
is seamlessly integrated with existing TV newsroom
workflows," added Mr. Wellesley-Wesley.
MOS2WAP consists of a CAMIO plug-in
that runs on the CAMIO server and communicates
with a separate WAP server. News producers utilize
LUCI, Chyron's MOS ActiveX® and simple drag/drop
GUIs to build stories, select images, preview
and then post stories to "air." Changes
to the rundown and breaking news stories are instantly
posted to the WAP server and images are automatically
scaled and converted to compatible formats for
display on cell phones.
