CEDAR Audio and NOA Audio Solutions announce
CEDAR for NOA

Audio restoration developed specifically for archives and libraries

16 May 2008

CEDAR Audio is the world's leading manufacturer of audio restoration hardware and software, with a long history of supplying systems to the world's audio archives. NOA Audio Solutions provides the most advanced software and hardware tools for digitising and managing archive audio. So it was perhaps inevitable that the two companies would collaborate to create an advanced audio restoration system configured specifically for archives and libraries.

The most productive archive restoration system ever created

CEDAR Declick for NOA and CEDAR Dehiss for NOA have been written to provide a processing environment that perfectly complements an archive's workflow for access copies while retaining the highest standards of processing. Indeed, CEDAR's existing users would not even recognise these processes, which forego the company's traditional real-time interfaces for a radical new approach based upon NOA's proprietary CLIP processor.

About the CEDAR for NOA processes

CEDAR Declick for NOA

Based upon CEDAR's leading Declickle™ algorithm, this removes clicks and many instances of crackle from damaged audio without introducing unwanted side-effects or artefacts. It automatically handles and corrects a wide range of impulsive noise durations and amplitudes, which makes it ideal for any environment where it will be used to process large numbers of tracks with no user intervention.

CEDAR Dehiss for NOA

An advanced algorithm based upon CEDAR's superb Auto Dehiss algorithm, this determines the noise content of a recording and reduces this with minimal loss of high frequencies and without the introduction of unwanted artefacts. It is also tolerant of changing signal conditions, which makes it ideal for any environment where it will be used to process large numbers of tracks with little or no user intervention.

Availability

Both products will be available immediately following the AES Convention in Amsterdam in May 2008, and will be available through both companies' appointed dealer networks.
