SMI Training Video for HP-48GX and HP-48SX - VHS Tape

[Chris Dreher]

I recently received and digitized a VHS training tape for the HP 48GX and 48SX called "SMI Training Video". It covers how to use some of surveying ROM card features.

In the background, you can hear 1990s office noise such as conversations, door knockings, phones, dot-matrix printers, and digital watch beeps.

While this is from an original VHS tape, the video quality is somewhat degraded. The original tape does have the audio slightly out-of-sync with the video (which was left preserved as-is), the stereo audio was misbalanced with clipping occurring on the right channel, the color is washed out, and various video digitization capture equipment struggled with the signal with the best results shown here. Some noise reduction was applied to the audio to reduce hiss and stereo channels were partially re-balanced.
