The process of converting these images to digital format in order to preserve and use them involves a number of processes, some obvious, some subtle which affect the quality of the result. In this presentation Jeff will describe the many steps involved in producing a high quality digital version of the original video and slide images.");

This is always an informative presentation, and if you are considering an upgrade of your peripherals, computer or software, be sure to attend.
