Chyron Corporation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chyron Corporation is a Melville, NY based company founded in 1966. The company develops and manufactures on screen graphics solutions for the broadcast industry.

In the United States the graphics (eg. lower thirds) generated by character generators, are typically known as "Chyrons", whether the equipment is made by Chyron Corporation or not. In the United Kingdom the phrase "lower third" is not used but like "Chyron" the name "Aston" is used, again making reference to a manufacturer of graphics equipment.
