Use of 64 kbits/s Digital Channel for Image Transmission: Using Low Scan Two-Way Video

摘要

At the seminar 'Competition in Telecommunications in Finland' on September 3rd, 1993, a test of two-way transferring an image by using 64 kbits/s digital channel was carried out. With the help of the Helsinki Telephone Company, a portrait was transferred to the lecture hall by using Vistacom Videophones, Nokia and Siemens ISDN exchange, as well as Nokia's and Siemens' user terminal equipment. It was shown on a screen through a video projector, so all visitors could see it. For human factors in telecommunications studies, every attendee was asked to give comments about the transferring quality. The report presents the results of the survey and a brief assessment of the technology.
