Chyron Releases New AXIS Maps

Chyron officially launched the new edition of AXIS Maps, a maps graphic creation solution for broadcasters. This next generation of AXIS Maps features 3D map visuals, enhanced customization options, extensive data layer support, pre-defined settings for admins to ensure consistency across all users and an intuitive new interface “that makes map graphics creation for broadcasters faster and easier than ever before,” the company says.

First shown during IBC 2025, visitors were shown “a new, powerful set of easy-to-use features.” Now, after final testing, Chyron has officially released it. The release also includes an integration with AWS Cognito to enhance security and simplify login across the entire AXIS platform, allowing Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication via major identity providers (like Google, Microsoft, or Okta).

The new edition of AXIS Maps is part of Chyron’s greater AXIS ecosystem, a cloud-based platform that helps journalists, producers, and designers easily find, manage, request and create the visuals that bring stories to life, from maps and news graphics to charts and financial data.

“The New AXIS Maps was designed to provide broadcasters with a solution that enhances their existing newsroom workflow with powerful yet easy-to-use tools, and we’re proud to say we ended up with a solution that enables studio-quality map visuals creation with just a few clicks,” said Peter Matis, AXIS product manager. “We’re fortunate to work with customers who are deeply engaged and willing to share their insights. They are the impetus for every new feature and enhancement included in the evolution of AXIS Maps.”

The new AXIS Maps provides broadcasters with tools to create cutting-edge map visuals. Now, they can enrich their graphics with immersive 3D buildings and terrain elevation data layers, alongside other new data layers that help provide context, such as bridges, tunnels, parks and airports. They can also import custom data for specific analysis. Additionally, there are new graphic tools designed to easily highlight areas of interest within a map, such as custom routes, 3D polygons, or border coloration at national, regional, district, city, or local levels, providing more flexibility for broadcasters to turn complex information into visually engaging narratives.

Chyron says ease-of-use has been a key focus when designing the New AXIS Maps. The map visuals creation now may take only seconds, depending on the level of detail the story requires, and can be performed by any user, regardless of their skill set. In addition, this release empowers broadcasters with tools to maintain visual consistency across productions by standardizing the language in which countries and city names are displayed, along with how custom graphic elements, such as Street and Area labels, are showcased.
