Chyron Corporation is a Melville, New York–based company that was founded in 1966. The company develops and manufactures on-screen graphics solutions for the broadcast industry.
In the United States the graphics (e.g., 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 less frequently used, but like Chyron, the name Aston is used, again making reference to a manufacturer of graphics equipment.
