Chyron has officially announced AXIS Maps, an innovative graphics creation module for live news storytelling. This next generation of AXIS Maps, says Chyron, revolutionises the map creation workflow for broadcasters with high-quality 3D map visuals, extensive data visualisation, intuitive illustration tools, and a simplified interface to go from design to on-air playout with ease.

AXIS Maps is part of Chyron’s greater AXIS ecosystem, a cloud-based, hosted platform that offers the full range of graphics order management and creation tools that broadcasters need to fulfil professional-grade visuals for every story in a fast-paced news environment, all within a web browser interface.

With AXIS, everyone from reporters, to editors, to news producers can quickly locate and create rich graphic scenes with images, maps, and charts to bring stories and data to life.

Peter Matis, Product Manager, AXIS, said, “This evolution of AXIS Maps is the result of a true partnership with our customers from all around the globe. Their feedback was the blueprint for everything we developed — 3D map visuals, new built-in data layers, interface enhancements, and so much more — it’s an honour to deliver a solution that directly reflects their needs and helps news professionals tell more powerful stories, more efficiently.”

The new AXIS Maps is built to provide broadcasters with the tools they need to captivate modern audiences with cutting-edge map visuals. Offering rich 3D maps that integrate true-to-life building and elevation model data, broadcasters can immerse viewers with lifelike map scenes with dynamic keyframe animations.

Alongside these new visuals, AXIS Maps adds support for an array of new data layers, such as bridges, tunnels, parks, and airports, as well as the ability to import custom data for specific analysis, providing more flexibility for broadcasters to tell data-driven stories.

Moreover, AXIS Maps features new graphics tools to highlight areas of interest, be it 3D polygons on map terrain, custom routes, or border colouration at national, regional, district, city, or local levels.
