How
is it different? The
Xynergi
controller features a unique implementation of self-labeling key switches
which are able to display full color images, animated icons or text
to provide intelligent control over the entire recording, editing and
mixing process. In addition, the controller can support any type of
language or icon driven menu structure with an ‘on-demand’ QWERTY keyboard
for routine naming tasks and immediate access to Windows applications.
The controller
also features eight touch sensitive rotary controllers and multiple
soft keys arranged around a high–res color control zone known as the
“pad”. These are used to support Xynergi’s sophisticated mix automation
system as well as precise control over extensive signal processing facilities
which include multi-band EQ's, three stage dynamics, multi-dimensional
panning and auxiliary sends.
Why is it better? The essence
of the controller is that it is ‘application aware’. In Fairlight language
this means it knows what mode the operator is in (recording, editing,
mixing, set-up) and instantly presents the function choices relevant
to that mode whilst hiding those that aren’t.
For example,
if operating in edit mode then all the non-editing options are hidden
as these aren’t needed. That means the controller can spread all of
its editing functions across the available switches giving its operator
true ‘knob-per-function’ control. Likewise, if the operator launches
a Word document from the PC or wishes to name a file/recorded track/channel
etc within the Fairlight project, then Xynergi intelligently knows that
the operator needs to type and automatically presents a QWERTY keyboard.
The result is less key-strokes, less function ‘banking’ and
more control; all of which contribute to an enhanced creative operational
experience and improved productivity.
Crystal Powered
Xynergi’s modern CC-1 FPGA media engine effortlessly delivers unprecedented
processing power with virtually zero latency.
The technology
is so powerful that 230 Hi Resolution
audio channels can be processed concurrently, each with six bands of EQ and
three stages of dynamics
by a single CC-1 card
hosted in a Windows PC. In addition, the engine provides enough processing
power to support a large format mixing system with access to 72 mix busses, 220 physical I/Os, a comprehensive
monitoring system, a fully integrated 192 track DAW, on board HD/SD
video and access to most popular 3rd party Plug-Ins.
Not only is CC-1 more powerful than any other processing engine,
it is also sonically superior with its ability to record at sampling
frequencies up to 96 kHz and manipulate audio at 72bit floating point.
An investment in Xynergi’s FPGA technology is also an investment in
future proof hardware design as many new features and capabilities can
be delivered in software form without the need for an expensive hardware
refit.
The
Xynergi Media Production Center
organizes and delivers all the media processing tools needed for high-end
audio for video production in all widely used surround formats. The
system is based around a completely new concept in tactile control harnessing
the awesome ‘green’ processing power of Fairlight’s CC-1 digital media
engine and Fairlight’s integrated PyxisTrack video.
The
Xynergi Media Production Center
is the first product to feature the groundbreaking Xynergi controller.
The Xynergi MPC is a revolutionary desktop user interface
used to access all features and functions of the Fairlight CC-1 as well
as commonly used Windows™ applications such as Email, Word™ and Excel™.

Xe6
It’s what you have been waiting
for - The affordable Xe6. The
Xe6 is an all new six fader extension module
for Xynergi that adds a high quality yet cost-effective tactile mixing
control to the Xynergi hardware platform. Up to four Xe6's can be installed
providing a traditional console-like hardware interface engineered to
Fairlight’s demanding standards for quality and robustness. The
Xe6 is designed using a new generation
of color OLED displays, touch sensitive moving faders and fully assignable
encoder controls. It fits neatly into the physical setup of the Xynergi
controller, elevating this platform to fulfill the full range of audio
production tasks from recording and editing through to fully automated
mixing.
Faders are motorized and touch-sensitive, with
smooth action and rapid movement. Faders normally control channel send
level to buses, but can be re-assigned to a range of useful parameters
such as aux send levels, record levels and Reduction bus offsets (used
when mixing to a number of different formats simultaneously).
A new generation full color OLED has been used in the
Xe6. Its large size
and strong graphic capability will provide excellent channel feedback.
Its ultra wide viewing angle allows channel details to be seen from
any position. The designs shown above include all envisaged display
elements. In practice, features are hidden until required, producing
low fatigue and quicker recognition of important information
Xplain Help System
Xplain
is a help system built right into the Xynergi Tactile Controller, that
lets you "see into" the buttons on its surface. It comes in two parts,
each with its special purpose.
The Xplain-button system
is useful when you are wondering about the function of a particular
button. Simply press it while holding down the Xplain
button, and the system will display an explanation of the button's function.
This is an easy way to learn the terminology of the system, and pick
up the finer points of using it.
The Xplain How-To system
is a series of over 50 mini-tutorials that show you how to perform system
tasks. It is structured as 10 major headings, with names of basic functions
like Recording, Editing, Mixing and Automation, each of which has up
to 10 sub-headings. Under Editing, for example, you will find Cut and
Paste, Trimming, Slipping, Fades and Xfades, Shortcuts and more. Each
sub-heading leads into a command sequence that you follow by pressing
the flashing buttons. The system leads you, at your own pace, through
each of these activities, with plenty of explanatory notes at each step.
Intelligent navigation means that you can start anywhere in the sequence,
move forwards or take a few steps back, however it suits you to learn.
You don't have to stop working to use the Xplain system. You
can quickly dip in and out of it without waiting for screens to load,
and without searching through lists of topics to find what you need.
It is a great way to learn the system, or brush up on techniques you
have not used for a while.
The SX-48 extends the Xynergi platform with flexible and
cost-effective I/O. Up to EIGHT SX-48
units can be connected to a single CC-1 card via MADI providing up to
192 channels of discrete I/O per engine. SX-48 is designed to accommodate
all standard sampling frequencies from 44.1 kHz to 96 kHz. Fairlight’s
renowned I/O can be installed in eight channel modular blocks, allowing
numerous combinations of up to six cards of analog and/or digital I/O
to be mixed together in each SX-48 unit or added later if required.
SX-48 locks to external Sync at any frame rate and accepts HD Tri-level
Sync, Video Sync, Wordclock or AES as references.
