Slow-scan television equipment used a computerised memory to sample a picture from a television camera every few seconds, "freeze" it and send it down a telephone line as an audio signal. The machines could only be used between two points at a time. At the receiving end, the signal was decoded and slowly scanned out a still frame on a television monitor.
