METRO’s AV Media Transfer Rack is set up and ready for pilot projects!
On Monday, September 11, six members of the XFR Collective (Marie Lascu, Ethan Gates, Dinah Handel, Rachel Mattson, Mary Kidd, and Carmel Curtis) gave an introductory workshop about METRO’s new AV digitization station. At our transfer station, unstable audio and video media can be migrated to digital, preservation-level files. Our rack is unique in that it supports audio-to-digital video transfer, digital-to-digital video transfer, and audio transfer. The transfer rack and workflows were built and created by the XFR Collective as part of their partnership with METRO.
The rack in METRO’s studio has decks that can handle the following formats:
