The broadcast from Twickenham Stadium will be seen in more than 40, 3D-equipped cinemas around the UK. This anticipated match will be the first ever live 3D broadcast of rugby worldwide.

Wurmsers is using Chyron's HyperX3 graphics system with Lyric PRO which has the benefit of 3D Stereoscopic tools as a standard feature.

It has been wonderful to work with such a professional and responsive team like Chyron for a high profile game. The 3D stereoscopic graphic capabilities of the HyperX3 are exceptional and go far beyond expectations."
