Chyron, a leading provider of virtual graphics and augmented reality solutions for broadcast and sports productions, has announced the release of Virtual Placement 7.7. This update offers a range of new tools and enhancements designed to streamline and optimize football telecasts.

Andreas Olsson, the Product Manager for Virtual Placement at Chyron, spearheads the development of these innovative solutions.

One of the key features in Virtual Placement 7.7 is the automatic midfield switching feature. This function adjusts the orientation of graphics to save time and eliminate errors as teams cross the 50-yard line.

The Down and Distance module has also received upgrades, offering new automation options for play-clock presentation. These enhancements are part of Chyron's ongoing efforts to improve sports broadcasts.

The Red Zone Tool, tailored to the NFL's new kickoff rule, has been optimized for the landing zone. The new outline option for the Red Zone Tool has customizable textures, colours, sizes, and opacities, providing broadcasters with greater control over their visuals.

The Field Goal Target Tool allows broadcasters to show precise, team-specific target lines, storing predefined field goal ranges for home and away teams. This tool, along with other enhancements in Virtual Placement 7.7, empowers broadcasters to focus on the game while captivating the audience.

The update includes dynamic and automated graphics support, ensuring that visuals are always accurate and up-to-date. The expanded settings menu offers quick access to down and scrimmage information, making it easier for broadcasters to keep track of the game.

The automation options in the Down and Distance module include changing the colour based on time remaining and animating the clock on and off-air at specific time points. The Field Goal Target Tool and other enhancements in Virtual Placement 7.7 allow broadcasters to adapt visuals to specific team branding or broadcast themes, providing a fresh approach to field graphics.
