     Re:  CHYRON CORPORATION
          REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-1, FILE NO. 333-86424
          ------------------------------------------------------

Dear Mr. Hunt:

     Pursuant to Rule 477 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities
Act"), Chyron Corporation, a New York corporation (the "Registrant"), hereby
applies for withdrawal of its Registration Statement as amended on Form S-1
(File No. 333-86424) (the "Registration Statement"). The Registration Statement
was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") on April 17, 2002.

     The Registrant is withdrawing its Registration Statement because it has
determined that the proposed public offering was not in its best interests. No
securities have been sold in connection with the offering described in the
Registration Statement.

     Accordingly, we request that the Commission issue an order granting the
withdrawal of the Registration Statement as soon as possible. Please do not
hesitate to contact the undersigned with any questions you may have at (631)
845-2011.

                                         Very truly yours,

                                         /s/ Jerry Kieliszak

                                         Jerry Kieliszak
                                         Senior Vice President and
                                         Chief Financial Officer
