Chyron PAINT 9.9 Delivers Sharper Visuals and Smoother Workflows for Sports Telestration

HDR Enhancements and Expanded Input Support

Chyron today announced the release of PAINT 9.9, the latest evolution of its industry-leading telestration and sports analysis platform. PAINT 9.9 delivers superior video quality, streamlined workflows, and expanded functionality, making it an essential tool for broadcasters and sports analysts.

“PAINT 9.9 brings the HDR capabilities of PRIME to telestration and replay, ensuring consistent, high-quality visuals across Chyron’s ecosystem. With real-time tool updates, and support for six HD inputs or three in 4K, PAINT remains a powerful, standalone solution for sports analysis—no third-party servers required,” said Andreas Olsson, Product Manager for PAINT.

Previously supported in live video workflows, enhanced HDR capabilities now extend to clip import/export, integrating into the workflow for fast transfers and efficient content management without disrupting production. Optimized HDR workflows improve tone mapping and color precision, making HDR content creation effortless. These upgrades ensure true-to-life colors and broadcast-ready visuals, helping broadcasters maintain high-quality sports analysis and coverage.

Real-time tool updates enhance workflows, allowing operators to adjust graphics seamlessly. This improvement leads to smoother, more precise telestration, reducing manual corrections and promoting an efficient workflow.

With its expanded input options of up to six HD inputs or three 4K UHD inputs, Paint 9.9 is now an even more powerful tool for sports broadcasting and analysis. Additionally, users can incorporate dynamic, multi-layered graphics—such as logos, team colors, and headshots—into their broadcasts with PAINT 9.9. This version enhances the label tool, offering improved functionality and flexibility. Each graphic element can be independently animated for a customized and professional appearance.

With these recent updates, PAINT serves as a complete, standalone replay and telestration solution, minimizing the reliance on third-party replay systems. Already suited for coverage of a wide range of sports, PAINT now also offers calibration specifically for the sport of snooker, increasing its utility to all sports. Whether for live broadcasts, in-depth sports analysis, or post-game breakdowns, PAINT equips broadcasters with the tools they need to deliver engaging and insightful content.
