VisualAudio
The VisualAudio is a machine for digitizing analog audio. The vinyl records are scanned. The structure is converted into visual signs. Sound is visualized using photographic technology and transferred to film. A high-resolution image is generated from both sides of the record. The digitization is done by a circular rotating scanner. Various algorithms are used to reconstruct the sound. The goal is to capture audio for future generations. It is used in the Swiss National Sound Archives to save old records.
functionality
The audio format is converted into visual signals . Missing signals can be reconstructed with the help of the visual surface.
History and Development
