The world's first* CEDAR Cambridge™ system
Initially supplied with CEDAR's new Declickle™ process, which removes all traces of clicks and crackle from damaged material, Widget Post Production will be expanding its system soon. Ed Bigger, the Account Manager handling the sale at CEDAR's Los Angeles dealer, Westlake Audio reports that " ... we'll be adding NR-4™, Declip and Debuzz in the next few weeks."
CEDAR's Managing Director, Gordon Reid, says, "We designed CEDAR Cambridge very much with post production in mind. Its eight-channel format is unparalleled for all forms of surround work, and the inclusion of processes such as DNS (dialogue noise suppression) makes it particularly suitable for film, TV and video restoration. We think that it's ideal for Widget Post Production."
The system was supplied by CEDAR USA in Portland, Maine. CEO, Fraser Jones says, "We have been working with Widget Post Production for more than a year, and we soon realised that CEDAR Cambridge which, at the time, had not been announced would be ideal for them. It's going to become a cliché, but I'm very excited by CEDAR Cambridge ... it's so effective, and so powerful."
* In fact, this is not strictly correct. The first CEDAR Cambridge system was supplied to a security agency in the UK. However, for reasons that are perhaps obvious, we are unable to disclose any information about this.
