Slow-scan TV was used to coordinate activities on site at Ellis Island with Paris and with the supervising architect in New York.
All of this activity confirms the results of a recent Colorado Video study of over 4,000 communications people which showed these projected increases in users over a previous 1983 study: audiographics use, up 59 percent; slow-scan TV, up 246 percent; compressed digital video, up 431 percent; full-motion video, up 121 percent; and computer graphics, up 171 percent.
A partial list of subjects appropriate to slow-scan TV transmission includes flat copy such as slides, photographs, x-rays, diagrams, layouts, schematics, maps and stamps, and three-dimensional subjects such as people, machinery, products and traffic.
