ChyronHego  The ChyronHego Corporation, formerly Chyron Corporation, headquartered in Melville, New York, is a company that specializes in broadcast graphics creation, playout, and real-time data visualization for live television, news, weather, and sports production. ChyronHego's graphics offerings include hosted services for graphics creation and order management, on-air graphics systems, channel branding, weather graphics, graphics asset management, clip servers, social media and second screen applications, touchscreen graphics, telestration, virtual graphics, and player tracking. The company was founded in 1966 as Systems Resources Corporation. In its early days it was renamed "Chiron", named after the centaur Chiron in Greek mythology. In the 1970s the company played a pioneering role developing broadcast titling and graphics systems. Use of Chyron's graphics generators, by the major New York City–based US television networks, ABC, NBC, and eventually CBS, integrated text and graphics into news and sports coverage on broadcast television and later on cable TV. Chyron as a corporation became very successful by the early 1980s, capturing a 70 percent market share in its field. In 1982 Chyron was the most profitable company on Long Island, and in 1983 the company achieved a market capitalization of $112 million, high at the time for a small high-tech firm before the age of dot-com and the internet. The Chyron graphics generator technology was originated by Systems Resources Corporation, founded in 1966 by Dr. Francis Mechner and engineer Eugene Leonard as equal partners and sole directors and shareholders. Mechner had just sold his educational technology company Basic Systems, Inc. to Xerox Corporation, and Leonard had sold Digitronics Corporation, of which he had been president. Mechner and Leonard had previously worked together during the late 1950s at Schering Corporation, creating a computerized data collection and analysis system for its behavioral psychopharmacology laboratory. Mechner provided the capital for Systems Resources Corporation's first five years of operation and Leonard provided his engineering expertise. Between 1966 and 1972 Systems Resources Corporation developed several innovative digital technology-based products, including a digital graphics generator for displaying letters on a television screen that it called "Chiron," after the centaur named Chiron in Greek mythology. The device controlled the edging of the displayed characters in a manner that took background variables into account. In 1972 the company hired Joseph L. Scheuer as its Vice President of Operations (he had been an engineer at Leonard's Digitronics).
