CEDAR Cambridge Audio Restoration

CEDAR Cambridge audio restoration system

Overview

CEDAR Cambridge offers a wide range of audio tools capable of cleaning up everything ranging from the earliest recordings to live broadcasts being transmitted today, giving you the power to address all of your audio restoration and speech enhancement needs.

Based on the latest CEDAR Cambridge Series III hardware, Version 7 is another significant step forward. It boasts a hugely improved file processing system, a powerful new module, Respeed™, a unique new declick algorithm, Manual Declick 'B', the introduction of Reporting, and dozens of improvements to existing modules including Retouch, DNS, NR-4 and NR-5, the Adaptive Limiter and Vintage Decrackle.

Furthermore, user-definable Hot Keys now allow operators to control the system from their keyboard and from devices such as foot-pedals that map to the key commands. This is ideal for users (particularly in the field of audio forensics) who need to listen repeatedly to short snippets of audio.

CEDAR Cambridge is used worldwide by post production houses, CD and DVD matering studios, broadcasters, national sound archives and libraries, and many of the world's most important police and security forces.

Series III Hardware

The latest Cambridge Series III is a server-grade powerhouse capable of processing more audio, more quickly, and for more simultaneous users than ever before. It has eight processors that provide more than double the processing power of previous hardware revisions, which is of particular benefit to users who take advantage of the system's multi-channel and batch processing capabilities, or have a need to run dozens of power-hungry processes simultaneously.

The same increase in power is true when you consider the storage capability of Series III, which includes as standard three TeraByte hard disk drives capable of storing around 10,000 hours of uncompressed audio. This makes every Series III suitable for use as a restoration server in demanding environments such as national archives and libraries, in which a single CEDAR Cambridge system can simultaneously service the needs of numerous studios and users.

The Timecode Automation Controller

The dedicated timecode reader ensures that processed audio always remains aligned to video, so that CEDAR Cambridge will work in harmony with any audio or video workstation. It also provides facilities for full automation of all CEDAR Cambridge processing parameters.

Audio Modules and Systems

There is a constantly growing family of CEDAR Cambridge processing modules. These are applicable in all areas of audio, and you can choose precisely the combination of modules that you require. Alternatively, we can offer recommended systems for film soundtrack restoration and post (the CEDAR Cambridge Film System), audio restoration for CD and DVD (the CEDAR Cambridge Mastering System), and two for audio forensic investigation (the CEDAR Cambridge Forensic Systems).
