SYDNEY, Australia – Fairlight, a renowned manufacturer of audio post, live and video production

solutions, and Quantel, the market leading innovator in news and sports production systems and high

quality post, today announced the upcoming release of Fairlight’s new audio post Gateway integration

module with Quantel QTube.

Fairlight makes the ultimate in audio post production tools. Professional tools for editing, mixing, plug-ins,

file transfer and multichannel recording, all under the fast control of Fairlight’s tactile control surfaces

featuring its patented Picture Key Technology.

Quantel’s QTube technology provides industry partners with direct access to audio, video and metadata

held on its Enterprise sQ production systems. QTube has a RESTful API which is available to companies

such as Fairlight, and enables development of new workflows with minimal engineering overhead.

The Quantel QTube API gives Fairlight audio editing systems instant, real-time access to Quantel video

compositions directly within the Fairlight software. Fairlight’s Gateway accesses the Quantel Enterprise

sQ storage, with no rendering or video file import required, providing frame accurate playback, jogging

and scrubbing over a local LAN network or even over the internet.

Extensive search functions allow the operator to quickly find pending work, and import audio assets from

the Quantel server with ease. At the end of the session, the final audio is laid back directly to the Quantel

server via Fairlight Gateway.

Tino Fibaek, CTO of Fairlight commented, “Tight system integration within a broadcast facility is vital to

meeting the challenges of today’s demanding production deadlines. The close collaboration between

Fairlight and Quantel and the open design architecture of both systems was crucial in the development of

the Fairlight GATEWAY module for QTube with the objective to deliver seamless workflow integration and

faster throughput.”

Steve Owen, Quantel Marketing Director, said, “The QTube API really does enable tight integration of

systems from different manufacturers. The Fairlight Gateway is a perfect example, adding powerful audio

post production tools to complement the unrivalled editing workflow of our Enterprise sQ systems.”

Fairlight Gateway with Quantel QTube integration is on display at the Fairlight booth C1459 at NAB 2014

in Las Vegas (April 7-10).
