FAIRLIGHT ANNOUNCE QDC TECHNOLOGY AND PRODIGY-2

FAIRLIGHT have announced that their QDC technology allows post producers to work on a full 48 tracks at 96 kHz/24-bit audio at the same time on the one hard drive.
The QDC Technology engine offers unsurpassed digital audio performance and functionality. Speed and performance are significantly enhanced via the use of a distributed processor architecture employing Analogue Devices SHARC chips, delivering 40-bit floating point processing for effortless real-time DSP capability.
No matter how complex the operation, such as seamless, gapless, punch-in and punch-out across all 48 tracks to a single hard disk, the QDC engine can handle it.
