\"Fairlight<\/a>Fairlight<\/a> and Grass Valley have successfully collaborated to develop two new hardware controllers, designed to provide video editors with a more streamlined and efficient workflow.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pro Audio manufacturer Fairlight has collaborated with broadcast and media specialist Grass Valley to develop two new hardware control surfaces, bringing tactile control to Grass Valley\u2019s EDIUS 8.1 video editing software.<\/p>\n

The collaboration combines Fairlight\u2019s expertise in the design and manufacture of dedicated post-production hardware with Grass Valley\u2019s video production solutions, both of which are used by major broadcasters worldwide.<\/p>\n

By working together, the two companies have succeeded in incorporating Fairlight\u2019s new PYXIS video editing and mixing controllers into the EDIUS 8.1 platform, thus enabling editors to produce more content, faster and more efficiently.<\/p>\n

The incorporation of Fairlight\u2019s Picture Key technology allows users to customise the control surface layout with their preferred editing functions. The Picture Keys change label and function instantly, repurposing the control surface to the task at hand.<\/p>\n

EDIUS 8.1 offers support for more formats and more resolutions than any other editing solution, delivering real-time editing of all popular SD\/HD and 4K formats with no rendering required. EDIUS 8, which boasts Windows 10 support, includes a new GV browser tool to manage video, audio and still image content on the host PC prior to importing into EDIUS for editing. Fairlight\u2019s PYXIS controllers are the perfect complement to EDIUS because they speed up workflow for video editors operating in high-throughput TV post production environments.<\/p>\n

\u201cFairlight\u2019s innovative solutions have evolved to include collaborative efforts with key technology partners,\u201d says Fairlight\u2019s CEO Philip Belcher. \u201cWe are delighted to have developed, in collaboration with Grass Valley, the PYXIS for EDIUS controllers. These advanced, tactile editing and mixing controllers use Fairlight\u2019s patented Picture Key Technology to deliver an ultra-ergonomic and highly efficient working environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fairlight PYXIS.Edit Controller<\/p><\/div>\n

The PYXIS for EDIUS controllers come in two models, PYXIS.Edit<\/a> and PYXIS.Mix<\/a>.<\/p>\n

PYXIS.Edit<\/h4>\n

PYXIS.Edit delivers unlimited functional scope, fewer keystrokes and less hand movement, all while keeping the operator fully aware of the currently available commands. The advanced control of editing functions is augmented with a high-resolution jog wheel for zooming and transport control.<\/p>\n

PYXIS.MIX<\/h4>\n

The PYXIS.Edit controllers can be extended with up to 10 faders by adding a PYXIS.MIX fader sidecar. Each PYXIS.Mix adds five channels, each with a touch-sensitive pan pot, motorised fader, writing strip with metering along with solo, mute and gang buttons.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to collaborate with Fairlight on this customized hardware control surface for EDIUS,\u201d said Mike Cronk, senior vice president of strategic marketing, Grass Valley. \u201cAnytime we can help EDIUS users maximize efficiency in their post-production workflow, it\u2019s a win.\u201d<\/p>\n
