Abstract: Television systems with 1000 lines or greater resolution have been available for several decades, but the relatively wide bandwidths required have precluded their use except for short distances. One solution is the generation of narrow bandwidth, single frame video signals for transmission purposes, with scan conversion by means of digital memory at the receiver. The system described in this article incorporates two methods for transmission of high-resolution “slow-scan” TV signals: the first using a conventional 1000+ CCT camera in conjunction with an unusual sampling/digitizing scan converter; and the second consisting of a solid state linear array with 35-mm optics and horizontal axis scanning produced by a rotating mirror. The receiving part of the system consists of analog signal processing, digitizing, and addressing of a memory by which the signal is converted to an analog video signal, with the resultant image on a standard TV monitor.
