Module Overview:
In 150 years or so of recorded media there has been a plethora of ingenious ways of recording and storing Sound and Vision. Each decade brought its own advances in methodology and techniques. Consequently, new technologies for recording, storage and playback needed to be developed, perfected, marketed and accepted. This module introduces the student to many of the formats that have been used to store and distribute media and explains the ways modern digital techniques can transfer, store, preserve and interrogate their often-unique content to the very highest standards.
