Abstract
The system and corresponding process includes a system for producing a mechanical image of original audio source media and a system for encoding the mechanical image information into a digital file. A processing system recovers the mechanical image information from the digital file at a receiving end. Audio processing is used to produce the original audio source material without the standard losses associated with digital encoding of audio material.
Claims16
A system for maintaining quality of audio recordings, comprising:
- wherein the audio recording is an original audio source media recording, containing original analog recording audio;
- a mechanical production system for producing a mechanical image of the original audio source media recording,
- a processing system for encoding the mechanical image information into a digital image file comprising an image structure and control information to enable audio reproduction of the original audio from the digital image file, the digital image file being capable of being transmitted or stored;
- a processing system for recovering the mechanical image information in the digital image file;
- and
- audio processing circuitry to produce the original analog recording audio from the recovered mechanical image information without standard losses associated with digital encoding of an analog source.
