Not long ago I made an extensive search for software that would
do at least decoding of tape noise reduction systems. Practically
nothing found, no convolution based or VST:s. No Dolby, no DBX, not
even versions of single-ended analog NR, such as Philips DNL.
An earlier version of the Stereo
Pretty much the 'Holy Grail' of audio.I can't ever imagine there being a
software solution for those noise reduction systems as they were very level
sensitive... but i'd be really happy if i could be proven wrong..

True, the patent and JAES article are as usual not the full story. The only
problem with the second user stuff is whether the thing itself is working
properly. Access to a test rig would be useful - never used the 363 but
I've had a lot of experience with the earlier 361 unit which uses the CAT

FWIW, I've got a few working systems, F1, 601, 701 and two Betamax VCRs (PAL
only).
The 601 and 701 have a SPDIF output.
They are still used in our studio for clients who require transfers.

Hi,
It would have been difficult in t'owld days using dsp's with their
(then) very small memories and the requirement to use assembler because of
the general lack of high performance high level language compilers. Pretty
certain it could be done with an ARM with C or C++ these days. However, it

Yes, though the data rate of the incoming video stream is a bit steep
(20-30MB/s), so that you need a rather muscular DSP to keep up, and you
probably won't want to go the easiest way

What mechanism causes deterioration in one of these?
