ChyronHego

today announced that the company has signed a contract to acquire the majority stake in ZXY Sport Tracking AS, a Norwegian-based provider of industry-leading sports tracking solutions. Upon completion of the acquisition, ChyronHego will expand its award-winning TRACAB™ player tracking product portfolio with ZXY's cutting-edge transponder technology. "ZXY Sport Tracking offers powerful sports analysis technology that will further strengthen our products in this space," said Johan Apel, president and chief executive officer at ChyronHego. "In addition to enhancing our TRACAB product portfolio, ZXY's technology will extend our sports analysis offerings across both the sports broadcast and professional sports markets." "This is a perfect fit for ZXY," said Rolf Olstad, chief executive officer at ZXY. "The ZXY technology and product, as well as ChyronHego's TRACAB system, have been developed for the real-time delivery of extensive performance data. The potential in combining the technologies are immense and we are thrilled to be part of this transformation moving forward." ZXY's proprietary technology for transponder-based tracking detects the exact position of all objects within a stadium or training facility in true real-time. Players wear a data chip that transmits positions and other essential data such as heart rates, speeds and the impact from collisions. The system has been used in soccer, American football and ice hockey, and is now being adapted for many other indoor and outdoor sports. The ZXY sports tracking technology will be on display during NAB Show at ChyronHego's booth, SL1110. For more information about ZXY Sport Tracking, please visit www.zxy.no.
