CEDAR Cambridge Hardware Options
CEDAR Cambridge Silent 1
The CEDAR Cambridge Silent 1 is the host system of choice for individual users. It's a compact, light and convenient solution that contains no moving parts so that, as the name says, it's truly silent. Its architecture is optimised for single-user configurations and, when used this way, it can be faster than the larger Series IV host. Nonetheless, you can still upgrade it with options such as the Server Pack and XML Integration at a later date should you wish to do so.
There are two audio I/O options. An internal RME card is used when digital I/O is exclusively required. Alternatively, an Apogee desktop interface is recommended for analogue I/O. Both options can be installed simultaneously when maximum flexibility is required.
CEDAR Cambridge Series V host system
The latest CEDAR Cambridge Series V is the host system of choice for batch processing in archives, libraries and forensic audio laboratories. It provides massive processing power and is particularly suitable for users who wish to take advantage of the system's multi-channel and batch processing capabilities. Capable of integration with MAM (media asset management) systems, it can process up to 100 times faster than real-time and, with the optional Server Pack and XML Extension installed, can support multiple users to process huge bodies of material quickly and efficiently. The Series V system also includes local storage capable of holding thousands of hours of uncompressed audio.
