German public broadcaster ZDF
has invested in two Fairlight Xynergi MPC96 systems, which
have been supplied and installed by Fairlight’s German
distributor Media Logic.
ZDF operates a network of bureaus in all of the capitals of
the Länder – the sixteen states that make up the
Federal Republic of Germany. Its main editorial and production
capacity in based in Berlin and it is here, at the Hauptstadtstudio
facility, that the Fairlight Xynergi systems have been installed.
As a public service broadcaster, ZDF provides information,
education and entertainment programming to viewers of all
ages. Alongside its news and current affairs programming,
the broadcaster also produces documentaries, fiction and sports
programmes.
The new Fairlight Xynergi systems are being used to produce
a wide range of programmes, particularly those that need special
sonic editing. These include documentaries, multi-channel
productions, trailers and ‘listening’ movies –
films with added spoken commentaries so that blind people
can follow the plot.
Mario Schmitz, Fairlight’s European Product Manager,
says: “ZDF chose Fairlight Xynergi because it delivers
all the tools needed for high-end audio for video production
in all widely used surround formats. Xynergi integrates seamlessly
into ZDF's production network with direct access to their
Avid Unity ISIS system, offering a future proof MXF solution
for HD productions using DVCPRO-HD codecs.
As with so many of today’s broadcasters, ZDF’s productions
are often time-critical and any technology that helps speed
up workflow is a welcome addition. With its fast, CC-1 digital
media engine and integrated PyxisTrack video, Xynergi offers
fantastic time savings because it can feed audio and high
resolution video directly into the broadcast chain.
“We are delighted that ZDF has chosen Fairlight technology
for its prestigious Berlin facility and we feel confident
that the new Xynergi MPC96 systems will bring significant
benefits to ZDF staff.”
