HSSH Analog afternoon: A Workshop on Digitization 28.11.2025 15:00-16:30

Have you got audiovisual material in the form of cassettes or VHS tapes? Or something even more archaic, such as reel-to-reel tapes, you would like to archive in digital format?

In this workshop, we will give an overview of the digitization workflow and its equipment needs and best practices. Theoretical matters will be supplemented by a concrete start-to-finish demonstration of processing an example tape using HSSH Interlab equipment. Join us for a dusty, yet fresh afternoon!
