Fairlight Launches CC-2 For Post Production

Fairlight has launched its second generation Crystal Core (CC-2) technology, incorporating 1,000 playback channels, 100+ output buses and 100 live inputs.

CC-2 is compatible with the audio hardware currently operating with the company's established CC-1 engine. The engine features a processor chip five times more powerful than that of the CC-1. It also has four times the PCIe bandwidth, new dual channel memory architecture, an on-board expansion slot and almost twice the MADI connectivity.
V5 sees the addition of Clipbender, an enhanced time compression and expansion feature allowing audio within a single clip to be aligned to picture, with multiple bend points and real time non-destructive processing.
Fairlight's V5 software has advanced to a full 64-bit application, allowing unrestricted access to the full power of Intel’s latest processors. When used in combination with CC-2, this platform delivers faster than real-time, offline mixdown.
Also developed as part of the new 64-bit architecture is a brand new video engine, leveraging GPU acceleration for real-time video processing, offering support 4K video resolution, and features built-in HEVC decoding.
Tino Fibaek, Fairlight's Chief Technical Officer, said: "Future proofing our technology has always been at the heart of our business philosophy. With the launch of CC-2, we have ensured that existing Fairlight customers can easily upgrade without having to replace their current audio interfaces or control surfaces. This means they can extend the life of their original hardware investment, whilst benefiting from the increased capacity that CC-2 brings."
