"An Open-Source Application for Image-Based Digital Reproduction of Optical Film Sound," a three-year grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.*

The University of South Carolina Moving Image Research Collections (MIRC) is collaborating with research faculty from the University’s Interdisciplinary Mathematics Institute (IMI) to develop an open-source software application to directly reproduce the optical sound tracks of motion picture films from digital scans, producing as a result a synchronized sound film file.
