Description

AV Spex is a macOS application designed for the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) to process digital video files created from analog sources. The app allows digitization technicians and archivists at NMAAHC to automate multiple preservation actions from a variety of video and digital preservation software. It also collects the results from these actions into a single html report.
