Guidelines: Audio Digitization System Performance
Audio-Visual Working Group

Concept under development.
The Working Group is beginning to explore the issues pertaining to the performance testing of audio digitization systems. This is intended to parallel efforts by the Still Image Working Group to develop metrics and methods for the performance testing of still image scanners and cameras. For the evaluation and performance measurement of audio systems, the activity is in its early stages. Interested parties are invited to comment on the March 2011 report from the expert consultant Chris Lacinak of Audiovisual Preservation Solutions.
