A new era in audio restoration

2 October 2007

The audio restoration server...

Have you ever wished that you could record audio onto a restoration system, generate and edit its embedded metadata while recording, while simultaneously processing numerous other files that exist elsewhere on your network? How about working in real-time on a particularly intractable piece of audio while the system processes a dozen other files in the background? Or maybe you currently work on another manufacturer's dedicated ingestion system, and you would like to access the power and quality of CEDAR from your own desktop without getting out of your chair or transferring files between computers...

CEDAR Cambridge Server offers you all this, and more.

The most powerful audio restoration system ever created -

Designed following extensive discussions with archivists, audio libraries, and post-production houses, CEDAR Cambridge Server is a combination of four elements:

the new CEDAR Cambridge Server Pack software

the new CEDAR Cambridge V5 software core

the latest CEDAR Cambridge 'Q' quad-core server-grade host PC

any combination of CEDAR Cambridge audio processes you desire

The CEDAR Cambridge Server Pack

... offers users the most efficient restoration and audio processing environment ever developed. Over and above all other CEDAR Cambridge systems, its additional capabilities fall into two principal areas:

print-server style batch processing, locally and across a network

background processing using multiple instances of CEDAR simultaneously

The V5 core

CEDAR Cambridge Server is hosted by the latest CEDAR Cambridge V5 software core, which adds an audio recorder with BEXT metadata handling and editing to every CEDAR Cambridge system.

The Hardware

To maximise performance, CEDAR Cambridge Server is supplied on the latest CEDAR Cambridge 'Q' quad-core host PC. Nevertheless, the Server Pack software is compatible with all CEDAR Cambridge hardware, from the earliest dual-Xeon machines (with additional RAM) to the latest dual- and quad- core Cambridge 'Q' processors. This means that all existing owners will be able to add Server functionality to their systems if they wish, albeit with some possible performance limits.
