MELVILLE, N.Y. — Chyron has announced that the Dallas Cowboys, who will begin their 2009 season in their new stadium currently nearing completion in Arlington, Texas, has installed Chyron's HD/SD-switchable HyperX3 graphics systems and Lyric PRO 7 design and render engine to provide HD graphics on what will comprise the world's largest HD video board.

Sold and installed by Burst in Denver, the four HyperX3 systems are Chyron's top-of-the-line on-air graphics system that combines with the award-winning Lyric PRO 7 design and render engine to drive breathtaking graphics of the highest quality.

"The scale of this new stadium is breathtaking," said Chyron's chief operating officer Kevin Prince. "It is in fact the world's largest column-free room, and the 80,000-100,000 people that it will accommodate will have unobstructed views of not only the event on the field, but to an equally massive HD screen right in front of them. That HyperX3 has been chosen to ensure that the graphic images live up to the overall ‘wow' factor is as exciting for us as it will no doubt be for the fans who are there."

When the Cowboys' new stadium opens in June it will be the largest, most technologically advanced sports and entertainment venue in the world. In addition to the colossal HD video board, the $1.1 billion stadium features two monumental arches, an expansive retractable roof and the largest retractable end zone doors in the world. In addition to being the new home of the Dallas Cowboys and the annual AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic, the stadium will host the 2011 Super Bowl, the 2010 NBA All-Star Game and the 2014 NCAA men's basketball Final Four as well as high school and college football, concerts and special events.
