ChyronHego has released the latest version of its universal graphics platform. PRIME Graphics 3.0 stacks an array of diverse applications into a single design and playout solution. The advanced 3D graphics authoring and playout solution from ChyronHego has been enhanced with support for the newly adopted SMPTE ST 2110 standard and with HDR-enabled 16-bit colour, which allows the platform to deliver 10-bit HDR output in the customer's choice of HLG or S-Log3 formats.
