One more thing, regarding new digital conversion of the telemetry tapes: a little while back the 2" field sequential raw footage of Apollo 16 (made from the raw feed) was rematrixed to form new digital converted color video. The results are very nice! I can describe it as seeing the footage "sparkle" similar to a car which has been polished. While watching the video, you sense that it looks better but it is very sublime. There are certainly no astounding revelations, its more of a visual pleasure to watch.

I imagine a similar look would occur to material digitally converted from the A11 telemetry tapes. There would be a notable improvement, but we would _not_ have a jump similar to say, the transition between sepia and color as in "The Wizard of Oz!"
