"I am excited about sharing Chyron innovations with the industry, and look forward to leveraging my hands-on industry experience to build relationships that are truly collaborative,” Silverstein said. “The Chyron news ecosystem, with CAMIO as its backbone, integrating everything from graphics to virtual sets, to video walls and even weather segments to the newsroom rundown, is very robust and efficient, and I am very familiar with it. The company’s strong partnerships with third-party vendors, resellers and clients is a great building block.”
Silverstein will focus on strengthening Chyron’s relationships with station groups, universities and others, the company said. His client roster will include legacy customers, new major broadcaster clients and emerging broadcasters, Chyron said,
