Chyron, a renowned name in the broadcast industry, has unveiled its latest offering, the Chyron Weather 2.0 platform. This upgrade is a culmination of over two decades of industry experience and insights gained from various acquisitions. The primary objective? To simplify and elevate data-driven weather visualization from start to finish.
Feature-Rich Weather Visualization
Chyron Weather 2.0 boasts a plethora of features designed to enhance the user experience. These include:
- Visually appealing map-based graphics.
- Custom forecast elements and dynamic global analysis.
- Realistic 3D panoramas.
- An elegant dark-themed user interface.

Michael Harter, Chyron’s Weather Product Manager, emphasized the platform’s comprehensive nature, stating, “Chyron Weather 2.0 provides a complete, easy-to-use toolset to tell the weather story. Specialized tools support every aspect of setting up data flows and connectivity, graphic design, on-air presentation, real-time playout, and render management.”
Versatile Data Integration and Customization
One of the standout features of Chyron Weather 2.0 is its data-provider-agnostic nature. This means it can seamlessly integrate with any public meteorological data sources or private weather data providers. Moreover, its powerful visual scripting tools allow users to mold the data to fit specific presentation needs.
The platform also offers accessible design tools, enabling users to tailor the appearance of weather visualizations or craft dynamic custom forecast graphics/charts based on chosen data. With its central hub, Chyron Weather ensures efficient real-time playout and swift rendering across multiple servers. This intelligent delivery mechanism ensures content is disseminated across various platforms, including on-air broadcasts, websites, and social media.
User-Friendly Interface and Live Presentation
Chyron Weather’s Presenter interface has been revamped to align with the Chyron dark look, ensuring consistency across the Chyron product range. The intuitive building-block interface equips users with easy-to-use tools for live presentations. By simply dragging and dropping different scene types into the playlist interface, users can curate a show. They can then utilize a timeline-based editor to overlay custom animations and forecast effects on weather graphics. The final step? Broadcasting the show live on-air, either through manual trigger control or automated playout timing.
